2 LCA I am interested in.
 
Can someone please tell me the pros and cons for the shape difference.

Goal: I am lowering the car about 20mm-30mm(not that much).
Wanting to fit nice 17x9+35 wheels so want LCA to help achieve the -2 to -3 camber required.

What is the difference with the Racer X:

& the
Voodoo13?

Voodoo have a steeper middle section what does this help with?

Voodoo is basically a copy of stance. It lowers car by "x amount" as the bottom of strut is physically lower. Made to allow more stroke for coils like KW, ST and others by that design. Coil choice is important when choosing between the two styles you show.

In such case consider the racerx over voodoo.


MCA I never heard of them, but they're like rsr in how they height adjust, hence the racerx style would be more suited given your height desires etc..

Btw with that wheel offset and size "same as mine" currently you'd be fine at -1.5 camber all around unless you want to track it, then of course up to -2.

cool! beans will await Racer's reply on shipping costs ahah

thanks for the advise (they are an Australian Brand is why you might not of heard of them)
what else have you had to do to dial the camber in?

86•BRZ 02-14-2014 05:50 AM

Just get std style ones. It changes the shock length set by MCA if yo go the stance style. You would need to adjust the lower collar to compensate for this with the MCA struts.
Ultimately if doesn't matter with coilovers as you can adjust them to compensate anyway. But why make work for yourself!

Good read.

Just some clarification from Voodoo13. The Voodoo13 control arms have 18mm of drop built into them and the design has changed quite a bit since those photos were taken. The Voodoo13 arms have 3 positions for shock mounting including a wide range of camber adjustment.
