i lowered my car with eb sportlines and the front camber folds in noticably. (by look and inner tire wear)
what are my options to correct this.
i just bought baer bump steer tie rod ends, (not yet installed) will they help correct camber?
would upper or lower adj a-arms make any difference?

When you lower a car, the front end needs to be realigned. There are specs for lowered cars on the 4th Gen FAQ. I've used -1.0deg camber and +4.0deg caster with success on a 1.8" front end drop.
The "bump steer" tie-rod ends don't correct for camber. They eliminate bump steer, when the tie-rods exceed their normal range of motion.

ok, thanx
so how then do i have that camber adjust to the correct spec.
after lowering my car, i had it aligned and the camber was still bowed in at the top. is a kit i have to get to correct em or is this something a speed align type place has to do? or is this something done at any alignment place, and the place i went was just lazy or dumb?
i intend on getting upper/lower tubular a-arms anywayz, will they help any?

What specs did the alignment shop set it to? They should have given you the "before/after" sheet with your invoice. A -1deg camber will be tilted in very slightly at the top.
