Lowering car with springs... What else do I need?
 
I've got some RS*R springs waiting to go on the car. These springs lower just about an inch. What else do I need to correct the alignment?

So far the only thing I've read on my searches are front camber bolts. Do I need something in the rear to correct camber?

Thanks all. Hopefully the ride quality is good enough for me to run this setup. I don't want to have to go to coil overs if I don't have to spend the money.

Wow. Replacing rear lca seems extreme to get camber. Why does this seem to be the preferred method of adjusting rear camber when there are uca bushings?

People were saying lca is easy to install compared to uca bushings

I'm hoping there are some affordable lca out there that doesn't mess too much with the geometry.

Ok. So I buy me some camber bolts up front and some lca for the rear. Then I install that crap with my springs and ill be able to realign my car?

Thanks for the help.

Pretty much....

I bought the new spc lca which is like 200$.

Bolts is like 30$

Then get it aligned

Do you need the LCA's if you are getting coilovers ?

yes

Front you dont need the bolts because you can adjust camber with the coilovers but back you still do.

well that sucks.

You are only dropping an inch. You don't really need camber correction.

azian_advanced 08-24-2013 08:50 PM

offtopic, but i'm curious where you got your RS*R's from? I'm debating between H&R super sports or RS*R super downs.

Contact RS*R directly. Find their USA web site, find their contact email and ask to buy. They are really fast.

i have the rs*r super downs and am very pleased with them. they drop the rear about 5mm more than the front and it really helped with traction out of the turns.

Disagree. Mine was funky till I put in UCA bushings moving forward ill do lca when go coils. Better camber and alignment is a world of difference how this car handles IMO.
