Aftermarket Rear LCA's v.s. Camber

Does anybody know if aftermarket Rear Lower Control Arms (such as SRR, Omni Power, etc...) correct the negative camber of a lowered car by being slightly shorter than a stock LCA???

If they do, would this not make the tire sit further inside the wheel well?

they do not, and yes it would make the tire sit closer to the middle of the car.

Thanks. I heard a rumor on HT and figured I'd go to the right source to ask. Cheers.

the shorter the upper control arm is the more negative camber the rear will have

I'm just thinking that the aftermarket LCAs would be designed for stock upper control arms right? Doesn't Nova_Dust have some?

Aftermarket LCA have the same bolt locations. So therefore, they are the same length, just made with different material.

Thanks, Nova. That's what I figured in the first place...I guess this whole thread wasn't very useful, I just wanted to clear some thoughts in my head.
