Camber
 
Hello,

I've looked around for camber kits and usually come across rear lower control arms, I believe this is all you need to camber the rear wheels. I've been recommended to get rear toe control arms aswell. Now do I also need rear upper control arms?

Someone mentioned to me to get ones that are adjustable by arm and not bolt. If anyone is willing to help me and recommend me parts/manufacturer to point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

What are your goals?

Are you correcting or creating camber? and how much?

How far do you want to go?

If you're trying to keep the car setup for street or track/auotcross with the rear camber between 0 and -3 degrees the stock toe arms are fine.

imo the bolt adjustment is easy on the OE rear toe arms.

Toe arms aren't needed unless you go super low or want lots of camber.
Upper control arms aren't needed.

I'm looking to create camber. So preferably as much as I can to make the wheels fit.

As much that is necessary to make wheels fit in the arches when aired out.

Sounds like I'll need toe arms aswell. What do you mean by can/can't slip?

Thats got me a bit worried, i was planning to go with SPC LCAs because I heard good things about them, including from the shop I use (AZP)

I have the newer Whiteline LCA's and they've never slipped from street driving or Autocross. These are basically the same as the SPC's.

I just clarified because swarb went offline. As long as I butted into the conversation here's my take. In the event of a mishap the stock LCAs are designed to deform before passing the energy to more expensive parts. I'm not a fan of the super stiff aftermarket LCAs for that reason. If I had to choose, I would go with the SPC units.

Don't be worried. These would be what the factory did if the decided to put adjustment in the rear lca

Ah ok, that makes me feel much better. In that case, I too would prefer the SPC units.

I only need LCAs to address any potential stock camber differences between left and right, and to fit some meaty tires anyway. Dont care for the fancier looking units.
