Sportlines + stock LCA. How will it look?
 
I will be driving my DD with stock rear LCAs for around 2 weeks with the sportlines. I understand I will get a negative camber around -2.0 but I wont be able to get proper rear lcas for around 2 weeks from now. How will it look? Bad? good? or hardly noticable?

It'll be noticeable, but not terrible by any means.

Been running this for about 8000 miles with no negative impact to the tires and really isn't that noticeable. Two weeks won't hurt anything.

That's springs only?

Yep, sportline on stock shocks. No camber correction.

bfrank1972 04-22-2014 09:40 PM

Won't be bad at all - if anything leave it and add some negative camber to the front (camber bolts), a bit of an aggressive look. Just make sure to get it aligned though, your toe can change and that will increase your tire wear quite a bit.

I have read several people have blown their stock shocks, I'm guessing its too Much stress? But here you are at 8000miles no issues ?

My shocks hadn't blown, but the lack of shock travel certainly is evident on rougher roads. My new FA500s are certainly smoother.

Myth. Damper life may be reduced somewhat in the long term by lowering springs, but nobody is "blowing" them with springs. In general these stories you're reading are about dampers that are damaged by incorrect installation.

People are "blowing" their shocks because they're spinning the shaft when installing the springs

Camber really isn't that bad. I hardly notice it.
