I put the original post into google translate, than I tried several different languages, though I could not find Floridian.

Results:
I installed KW coils and by doing this it lowered the car substantially which put in excessive negative camber. Since there is no rear camber adjustment on the BRZ I had to buy LCA's to correct the rear camber.
When trying to find LCA's only 1 was listed for use on the 2017 PP cars on the websites

Brembo brakes and LCA could not be translated in the same sentence.

Mr. Chairman, I would like to recognize the sacrifice made by the gentleman from the honorable state of New York.

I lowered mine an inch and was only out of limits -.4 deg on one side. Just bought the whiteline bushings, problem solved? Not going to track mine daily and need to adjust it all the time. Find one setting that works good and be done with it.

I lowered myself 2 inches so I get those 6 inch stilettos to handle properly.

Yeah, OP should of just taken some measurements and bought some SPC's. I think there's a set in the classifieds for $130 right now.

Well, I guess I was too technical in what I wrote. I will take that bet! If the rear camber arms you buy DO NOT have a bracket for the headlight sensor, You all have a problem in Houston. That's why my comment on the Verus arms ( See pictures)

What LCA did you use? Did they have the sensor bracket for the headlight sensor??

How your OP should have been worded then....

Quote:
Beware if you need rear LCA for your 2017 PP.
To keep the headlight leveling working correctly you will need to make sure your LCA's come with a way to attach the sensor to them.

The only ones I could find that had a way to attach the sensor were the Verus ones.

Not just the PP, but the BRZ limited (at least the 2017) also have the auto headlight sensor (don't know about the base version).

Stock alike like spc (and probably very similar whiteline & eibach) have attachment points for leveling sensor just like stock rear lca-s.

While we are on the subject, how can the level sensor continue to work with coil-overs? I mean even with aftermarket LCA, if you change the height of the car doesn't it change the angle of the LCA? If yes, then do you have a way to adjust the angle of the sensor according to the height you adjust the coilovers?
