Mike and Andy.
I was just about to order some ball-jointed front lower control arms but I started thinking about the way in which impact forces would be distributed. I can't but help think that even small front impacts to the tyre/wheel would result in damage to the car frame in the long term and goodness knows what would happen in a larger impact. Given that my car is a daily driver I have decided that it would be best to leave the oem arms in place. (I replaced the bushes long ago with Avo units.) I track my car on Kumho V710 and I do not know if the standard front lca are up to the task. Should I be looking at reinforcing the stock arms or should I just wait and see what happens?

yeah i have the same concern as Captain, still debating about doing racerx front control arm for the race car. We have had a couple of hits before in the wheels and i was pissed i had to change a LCA on our car but thinking about it, it was better than trying to put the car straight again.


Is there a real benefit to those compared to doing Perrin offset bushing and Buddy club extended ball joint?

Hi guys, need some opinions on whether I should get adjustable LCA's (thinking of SPC) to correct my rear camber. I've sent my car for alignment work and this was the result:

Camber/Toe:
LF: -1.4/0.2 RF: -1.6/0.0
LR: -1.8/0.0 RR: -2.1/0.2

I was told that my final rear camber couldn't be corrected any further (via toe adjustment) as I initially wanted to keep them under -1.5mm. I'm lowered only half inch from stock so I would have thought the rear camber wouldn't change that much from factory spec.

Was recommended the whiteline LCA camber bush, but the labour charges to remove and fit these bushes were ridiculous. Getting the SPC arms would cost more but I'm sure I should be able to swap them out on my own.

Car is a daily driver, no intention of track use. Advice?

[SubieNate]

For daily you're probably just fine. Does it drive straight?

I would do whiteline camber bolts up front and H&R bolts in the rear just to even them out side to side, but I'm super weird about stuff like that.

Haha I had to read that over, cause somehow I read "camel/toe" the first time. What do you use to measure camel toe anyhow? A depth gauge?

If it drives straight for a daily driver, I w ouldn't worry about it. IMO, getting toe set proper is more important than camber for a daily driver, and you have toe adjustability.

Thanks....yeah it drives straight as an arrow.

By the way, how much camber adjustment can I get out of the SPC arms if used without the included offset toe bushings?

The exact range will depend on your right height, and how you set it up, but I'd expect to get more than you'll ever need

Feeler gauge.
