toe links needed with lca? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

garfull · 08-12-2013, 10:05 PM

Got swift springs with 1" drop and I ended up with -2.6/-2.7 degrees of rear camber after my spring install. I want to get back to stock -1.2-1.5. Will a LCA get me there or do I need to get toe links too?

Any recommendations for either?

Lca will get you the camber correction by reducing length of the arm. If the toe link at the most inward position is greater than 0* toe, then you would need toe links to get alignment or you would have toe out in the rear.

Wouldn't hurt to get both at the same time for an alignment.

I could not get less than ~1.5 camber in the rear without messing up toe, even with offset toe bushings. You may as well buy toe links, unless you wanna gamble.

How far did you lower?

a friend of mine ran LCAs and got UP TO* -5 degrees of camber without needing aftermarket toe links. That being said im sure the OEM toe adjustment range can handle going from -2.6 to -1.5

Goodluck

at -1 camber in the rear with a pretty good drop I do not have proper toe adjustment on factory bits. you should definitely get new links

I also have swift springs and I did the SPC control arms which resulted in ~-1 camber without needing the toe kit.

Forgot to mention, toe was 0 degrees.
