Hi, I'm have very minimal experience around modifying my car, and any advice would be appreciated.


I have a 2014 BRZ, no performance modifications. I bought some KWV3s with Raceseng camber plate for the front.


I don't initially plan on lowering the car, but may do so down the line.



My question is would I need adjustable end links (currently stock)? If so, what length should I be looking for. And can I keep my stock sway bar?


Do I need different rear LCA? Do they need to be adjustable.


I've looked around other posts, but of course everyone's situation is different, so hoping someone has insight into my particular setup.


And any additional info, advice or recommendations I'm not thinking about would be helpful. Thanks!

If only stickling to that no. :slap:
If lowering the car. Maybe and why ask until that point. :slap:

Thanks. I guess I didn't know if the bolt location for the links were the same KWs as they were on the stock.

Most people end up getting adjustable lower control arms to dial in whatever camber spec they want in the rear. Many people have uneven camber from the factory. As long as you keep your lowering to an inch or so you shouldn't need much of anything besides that. Welcome to the rabbit hole

Stock endlinks in the front are fine. In the rear get some LCA's to you can balance rear camber to the front if you don't plan to lower. Most ppl use LCA's to dial some rear camber out

Yeah I realize when I want to do something, there's more that I have to consider lol.



When you guys are mentioning lower control arms, are you talking about adjustable ones? I guess I'm not sure if I have an incorrect understanding of LCA if not referring to adjustable ones, how would they adjust for camber?



Thanks.

Okay I think I got my answer about the LCAs here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVyDcr4KaQw

Yes but don't need to spend alot of Money. SPC's are cheap and work just good. Just not as flashy.

Decep 09-04-2022 12:08 AM

Yep, SPC worked fine for me and no problems in the 50+k miles i had them installed for before selling the car.

Stock sway at links are fine. Rear LCAs are imo overprescribed, seldom needed. -2.5 rear camber you’d get with1” lowering is not a prob even for street only usage, and I don’t worry about asymmetric rear camber within about 0.3 degrees.
