What you wrote (Performance Package, "Brembos") had nothing to do with the auto headlight issue. Perhaps next time word your post properly, something like "The 2017 Performance Package requires specific arms for use with the auto headlight level adjuster." |

This way, the headlight can compensate for a loaded trunk vs an empty trunk. The only issue I can think of is if the car is lowered past the adjustment range of the sensor or the movement of the rod. Then you might run out of room for the rod to provide sensor feedback. |

This is all based on the assumption that lowering the car change the angle of the LCA. If not, what's the difference on the LCA between lowering the car and putting weight in the trunking? |

I'm using the Megan Racing LCA, they had a spot on them to attach the leveling sensor but they were pointed all wrong after the install. Adjusting the knob on the back of the headlights worked like a charm.

I broke the lca 10mm bolt on my '13 86 and was just wondering to not bother with replacing but just adjust manually. When you adjust manually do you have to disconnect the sensor (I'd assume when you start the car it resets and lowers/raises the light again) or does it remember how you set it?

Yes all lower control arms for BRZ’s and 86’s and FRS’s installed on November 17, 2017 had to be Verus. Now that it is not that date anymore you are free to install any lower control arm you wish. This was a part of Obama care act on page 1296 paragraph 3.
