Camber plate vs. f80 m3/4 lower control arm

To get some negative cambers to improve handling. Does anyone know it'll be a difference if you have the camber plate (or from coil over) vs just the f80 lca. Assume the final degrees of camber is the same.

Camber plate is adjustable whereas the F80 FCA will be a set amount more camber (I think its like -0.5* extra gained over the stock arms). Using the FCA will also push your caster out which would need to adjusted using an aftermarket bushing whereas a camber plate shouldn't push caster out

Technically the LCA strategy is better because it increases your track width. But you'll want to wait for something like the SPL control arms for it to actually be adjustable. If you want to dial in your car then currently the Camber plates are the better option.
