SPC Lower Control Arms(Old and New) - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Though by appearance, I trust the old ones more. Maybe just speaking from an overly cautious engineers' POV but the old ones lok WAY more sturdy

@FT-86 SpeedFactory 's user name is light blue because they are a vendor. You can buy these and probably a few other lower control arms from them.

The SPC "old" arms have been discontinued. As far as I know we have the last set in existence. The SPC "new" arms are an affordable function over form item that get the job done.

The Cusco arms are going to give you far more camber adjustment but do cost 2 times as much. Plus they look great.

We run the cusco ones on our race car as we want/need the extra camber adjustment. For an STX car / daily driver the SPC is what we recommend.

I'm getting coilovers and a Cusco LCA. Do I need anything else? Like toe arms?

mfbmike · 08-26-2013, 12:14 AM

I keep reading these are what is needed if lowering the car more than ~1.5" to be able to properly align the car i.e. adjust camber in the rear?

Looking at suspension and now realizing it's going to be slightly more complicated than my previous car which allowed rear camber adjustment from the factory. lol. All I had to do then was throw on a set of H&R street coils and I was done.

I actually looking to get like 2"-2.5"at the back so do u think lower 2" will help get more camber? So 2" camber from the spc another. 5"-1"from lowering?

The arms will help get tings back into spec after lowering that far. Getting back to - 2 won't be an issue.
