Rear camber adjustment options?
 

So what are the options available for adjusting the rear camber on the BRZ/FR-S? I know Whiteline makes an adjustable bushing kit, anything else? Either current or in the pipeline? I thought I saw Eibach may be coming out with something?

Cusco and few others offer Rear control arms with adjustment...that and the rear is very ride height dependent on Where it would be for camber..

SPC makes a rear control arm that is super easy to adjust. I have owned several differant brands on my 09/11 STi and they were the easiest.

Yes, they are listed for a 08+ STi/WRX but they share the same rear control arms.

i am using the gt spec rear camber arms, if you are thinking of getting that you might want to get the rear toe adjustment arm as well. make the person who is doing the alignment job easier. well not sure how much stock and adjust toe wise with the camber adjusted. I have both and i did the alignment myself and it took a while. i have rear camber set at -2.6 but i think i will be running -3 in rears. if you are planning to get it make sure to have a specialist that know what they are doing to install it.

here is a pic of the arm adjustment parts apart

drool...

Good lord. I only paid $150 total for both of my rear camber arms including the bigger bolts on my 370Z. What a ripoff we've got currently.

I agree. Not much out there and the prices are outrageous. I mean to get a setup that allows good adjustment we are currently looking at a grand if you want front camber plates, rear control arms, and the whiteline rear bushing camber bolts while your in there.

I considered rear camber arms, but right now I'm at -2.5 degrees in the rear, which appears to be w/in spec.

I also considered roll center adjustment, but I just got my alignment...

I believe the maximum in spec is -1.75 in the rear. At 2.5 you will definitely see the inside parts of your tires wear substantially faster than the middle. You won't even notice any wear on the outside. That is unless you are tracking the car of course.

Don't want to spend $500 for adjustable arms so I'm making my own...

I'll start a thread next week when I make some progress...

After lowering my car on KWs I wound up at -1.9 on one side and and -2.0 on the other.

There are alot of features on GTSPEC that are not available through SPC/Eibach or even the cheapo made it urself camber arms.

To list a few

1. Up to -6 degree camber
2. Camber joints are CNC cut out instead of normal stamp out.
3. It's made out of chromely steel and spray down with anti rush protection coating to prevent rush during the winter where salt and weather will rush regular steels.
4. GTSPEC also made the toe arms to work with the camber arms. Toe arms will be needed if more camber needed.

Don't get me wrong, your components look nice but I'm a diy guy with some good resources at my disposal. If I wasn't, I would buy your lower control arms or Cuscos without question.

I so far have purchased 2 (new) oem lower control arms, 2 teflon lined spherical rod ends, lock nuts and misalignment spacers. The rest is all labor.

Total cost involved... $134.


I'll link my thread in here once I get going.

Looking forward on your project, Good Luck!!! :happy0180:

I know you're a vendor and all and you're trying to sell your shit, but damn, that was uncalled for, especially since there is someone in this very thread who just wanted to make their own. Jeez. No respect for the DIY'ers out there, even if what they make turns out to be better than what's sold in a shop.

:burnrubber:How l
Low did you drop? Mine is at 1.5" lower.

I'm about 1.5" lower too.

Mine isn't slammed but it is pretty low. I have -3 degrees camber in the rear.

Where can/did you find spec for camber?

No disrespect for the DIY guys, but just pointing out the differences between DIY and something that was custom made to work correctly.

Ravspec, with GT Spec toe arms and control arms, whats the maximum negative camber available ?

We went as far as neg 6.
