Why didn't you put in any camber in the front with your camber plates and in the process of correcting the toe in the back you got even more camber in the rear. Generally you want more cabmer in the front than the rear.

The guy told me not to mess around with it, since its a new car blah blah. What specs are you running? |
You simply loosen those 4 bolts on the top of your front camber plate (one of which you have already broken) then you slide it in the slots. The further you slide it towards the center of the car the more negative camber. I haven't gotten my alignment yet with my new coilovers and wheels/tires, but I am hoping to run -2 to -2.5 degrees front and -1.5 to -2 degrees rear camber. Your installer is an idiot and probably wanted to try and keep the car at OEM specs which are not much camber in the front, but you are still way outside of the OEM specs for camber in the rear. I would get some rear camber arms installed on the rear and go back and add front camber and remove rear camber and then set the toe to 0 in the front and a little bit of toe in in the rear.

and I told the aligner guy to adjust the front camber.. FML .. Lemme know when you get your alignment that way i can show him that's what I want. |
I have the Cuscos, and they are nice, but if you want to save some money the SPCs are more affordable. The Cuscos also aren't the easiest to adjust due to the design, so you might want to consider one of the newer lower control arm options in the Suspension forum. I really want the Whitelines, but I still don't think they are available yet.
I will probably be getting my car aligned in the next couple weeks. |

Looking around, i saw RACERX or Whiteline, I can get the Cusco at a good price, some people are saying anoying to adjust some people saying there ok to adjust. I'll wait for the Whiteline price and figure it out. |
You are definitely safe to drive. You will wear the inside of your rear tires more with that much negative camber though. The RacerX ones are really nice and can be adjusted on car I believe. I would probably go with those or wait for the Whitelines.

To really preserve your tires you will want to run the least amount of camber you can run that still allows your toe adjusters to get the toe close to zero in the rear, otherwise you will also need to add toe adjustment links.

It isn't a matter of what lower control arm you buy, it is a matter of the length of the arm not allowing the ecentric in the subframe to be able to bring the toe back into alignment. The length of the lower control arm controls the camber.

Hey great ride you got going!
im interested in how you installed the rear strut bar. can you elaborate how you did it? |

Just Just bought the Cusco Rear Control arms yesterday, and i received them in the mail today. Fucking Fedex threw the box over the fence....... Asshole. but anyways getting everything installed on Monday. Hopefully it doesn't burn a hole in my wallet. Then i'm going to see if my injectors are still good, before I install the turbo kit that @FA20CLUBshipped to me today hopefully! |
TURBO KIT HAS BEEN SHIPPED FRIDAY!
I finally found a good garage! They fixed my alignment properly, installed my coilovers right, installed Cusco Rear control arm, raised the car half an inch, adjusted my camber (-2 in front) (-1.15 in rear) Car is so much for balanced and stable, I don't peel out with my tires anymore. I booked an appt for the turbo kit to be installed next tuesday! I will be also getting a BPS short shifter + bushing, and that will be it for this year. |
