This is a properly noob question here.

You mean you can lower an FRS on 100% stock suspensions just by adding LCA's?
I mean i got the impression by the product description...

Just the rear, the front would need some other lowering solution.

Is there anyway to lower the front at all without resorting to changing springs or coils??

I miss my stock suspension's ride....

Top mounted front camber plates (like RaceComps, Ground Control's, or HVTs) lower about 3/8". Nothing else on the market as of yet as far as I know.

Powered by max i asked them if they plan on making more kinds of suspension parts for the FR-S etc and i was told in the next few months they will start to have more kinds of parts!!!

So i just installed these lower control arm and wanted to dial in -3.5 rear camber but the shop told me they cant do it because i would need aftermarket toe arms but i see a few members here going up to -4 without aftermarket toe arms. Also the shop told me i had to grind/shave down my subframe so they can access the lca to adjust them. Anyone had any experience with this??

If i wanted to lower my car another half inch or so would these work? I have Swift springs with Bilstein B6 shocks and SPC LCA's right now. It just has a little rake right now and the rear could go down another 10mm or so if possible.

Yup, I have FA 500's. At the lowest setting in the rear I had around 1.25 to 1.5 inches of gap between fender and tire. After installing these LCAs in the lowest mounting point, I was tucking rim. Definitely seemed like it lowered it by more than 40mm. The good thing is that they have 2 holes to attach your coils to, one is -40 and the other is -15 or -25, can't remember which off the top of my head.

Not sure if you guys ran into this or if its just common but the winter roads beat up the front side of the LCA's, pretty much chipped the paint off now they don't look so good from the front :/ function wise they are good but cosmetically they aren't the prettiest on one side

Happened to my Megan's, assuming the same will happen with the PBMs as well. I'm not worried. Not like you can see it anyways.

We see this with almost all the "fancy" rear LCAs in terms of the adjustments. IIRC my techs told me they welded up a tool to reach the adjusters on the cusco/fancy style arms.

hey guys, do any of you guys get any noise from these lca? mine is clunking pretty bad in the rear and im pretty sure its the lca, perhaps bolts not tighten properly or stuff. just wondering what exactly should i do to recheck all nut and bolt. im on airlift suspension. thanks

are they any updates as to these LCA's in terms of review/install?
I have been looking at these for couple months and this thread seems to be the only one that talks about these LCAs..

I love the clamps to hold your alignment settings. They also have nuts, so it's a double locking mechanism, although i think the nuts are not really necessary.

They are hard as stone, but a bit heavy.
