CAUTION: 2017 REAR CAMBER ARM PROBLEM with Performance Package
 

I just put on KW Coils and the Camber is out in the rear. I was told I need Rear Camber Arms. YES I DO.


****THE ONLY REAR CAMBER ARMS TYHAT I HAVE FOUND FOR THE PERFORMANCE PACKAGE (BREMBOS) IS THE VELOX 7000 SERIES FROM VERUS ENGINEERING*******


I ALSO AM NOT SURE IF THAT INCLUDES ALL 2017 BRZ'S AND '86'S
THEY WILL BE INSTALLED ON NOV. 17, 2017

Maybe I'm missing something...what exactly is the problem? Are you suggesting that most rear LCAs don't fit with the brembos?

Or go with the uppers. :)

Its like he's trying to communicate something...

My vote for most confusing thread I have read today.

Subscribed for WTF is going on

WHY ARE YOU YELLING??

I want to bet real money that the SPC rear arms also will work for the Performance Package.

Let's bet.

It's sometimes hard to understand "Floridian"

What are your pictures trying to tell us, and what actually is the issue?

As a fellow Floridian....


WUT?

I'm in, but I've spent all my money on car parts. Can I bet my RCG4's? Or maybe my OEM RGR's?

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. :bonk:

Think all rear lower control arms will work across all model years regardless of the BBK. I think the real issue however is this:

I wanna bet $3.50

I'm trying to capitalize. If I go hard on a 'sure thing' maybe I can get my RCG4's back, and a set of Electras. :drool:

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.

Downvote for lack of meme usage

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.

Sounds like you are too low.

Light Sensor Bracket
 

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....

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?

nico rsx: this or something similar self-assembled, no?

Yes, I think something like this would be required, but when people talk about lowering their BRZ and changing the LCA, I've never heard them talk about changing that part. Only that the LCA need to have the mount for the sensor. Maybe the rod is already adjustable on our car. I haven't look.

No, you were not too technical in what you wrote.

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."

Most other systems for auto level headlights reset the sensor when you start the car.

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.

What I'm thinking is that lowering the car has the same effect as loading the trunk, because it probably change the angle on the LCA, so the headlight would compensate by pointing down because it's thinking the rear is more compressed than the front, but since your lowering also the front, the headlight end up pointing down.
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?

You can use the adjustment on the back of the headlight on a flat surface to adjust them back to center. There is an 8mm bolt you turn to manually adjust.

I had to do the same thing when I lowered my 17BRZ and got aftermarket LCA. worked like a charm, took 15 minutes, no need for additional parts.

I hadn't thought about that, really interesting answer. I didn't know there was still a manual adjustement on the headlight. I'm guessing you have the automatic sensor adjustment on your BRZ?
What LCA did you use?

Thanks a lot

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.

You would want this if you didn’t want to manually adjust the lights from the back.
