I keep reading about the use of M3 front control arms for the stiffer bushings and the increased camber. But what if you already have a good camber angle (with the help of camber plates)? Is it worth upgrading the whole control arm just for the bushing? Or could I just swap out the bushing and get the full effect?

Also, a lot of places sell the control arms in a package with the wishbones. Is there much benefit to spending the extra $200ish for the wishbones?
