Which LCAs for decent amount of camber?

[sqd]

So I need a bit of camber to fit my wheels (no, I'm not gonna run -14 degress to fit 12" wide wheels), but I know SPCs give -2 degrees? And Cusco arms give more, right? But they are like more than twice the price of the SPCs. Are there any other alternatives that give more than 2 degree negative camber?

Stance will hit -6 according to its documentation, but it also features lowered geometry vs. OEM. What is available to you in Sweden?

Keep in mind the adjustment listed is the adjustment range, not the final value. If the car is lowered and at -2* from the drop on stock LCA's, an arm that gives -2* adjustment will put you at about -4* total.

Yes, true, but I'm on TRD springs, not sure what camber those give.

Only directly available are Japspeed, which are UK ones. But I can order from anywhere of the price is right.

A 1" drop will put you at about -2* in the rear.

You're on TRD springs, so what is your camber as it sits now? For instance, I'm on RCE Yellows, which don't drop as much, and my rear camber is at -2*. For me, the SPC LCAs could take me from 0* to -4*.

What size and offset are your wheels and what size tires are you looking to run? And do you have specific goals for your camber, or just something to fit the wheel into the wheel well?

I have no idea what my camber is, doesn't look to be much to be honest. Had the car for 6 days so far

My wheels are 18x8 and 18x9, both +38, but they're 5x114.3, so I've got 20mm adapters, so they'll be +18 in the end. 215/40 front and 225/40 rear tires. So yeah, I want them to be flush really.

Are you on the TRD USA or TRD Japan springs?


The TRD Japan Springs are 15mm drop (so less than the TRD USA springs).


If you are on the TRD Japan springs then the camber changes is actually minimal, and the camber can be adjusted within "factory" specs without LCAs. I'm using Hardrace LCAs (which are similar in design to the Cusco ones), You may wish to look at the Buddyclub ones which are lower cost than the SPC, but are designed more like the Cuscos. There has been talk about the SPCs slipping but I don't know how valid it is. A number of the respected voices on here seem to be against SPC.

Those are both going to stick out a fair amount, and there's not too much you'll be able to do about it. If both wheels were 5x100 then you'd be just about right for flushness.


Check out posts 2 and 3 of this thread. It has links to what people have tried so you can see how things will look.

Since I'm in Europe, I am sure they are TRD Japan ones. But thanks for the info, I'll look into the Buddyclubs, or even Hardrace.

Yep, been looking through that thread and the examples people have posted. I know I have to run camber, but I think I'll make 'em fit with camber.

You might want to hit up the guys in the Aggressive Wheel thread. They know all the tricks to getting a low offset wheel to fit in the wheel well. For instance, the page I linked has a guy with 18x10.5 +15's in the rear.

These are the Japspeed ones. Still don't know how much camber they allow, sent them an email, but they look similar to Hardrace arms.
