thanks for posting it looks much better than the previous arm. I know SPC is cheaper but all.of their hardware, nuts have turned into a rusty flaky mess on my car in less than a year. I don't know how much I would trust them using it in midwest or coastal areas.

You need the arms if you want any adjustment.

So let's say you lower it two inches and end up with - 3 or - 2.6 you got no way to fix it. Two inches lower will give you over - 2 camber.

I am on the old arms. Ft86 speedfactory are there any reliability reasons to switch? I currently only run -1.8 in the rear so could use old or new (or something else for that matter).

Just bought some Goodridge SS brake lines, Hawks ceramic brake pads, and SPC LCA's from FT-86 Speedfactory. Thanks again! Going to get a great alignment and improve my braking even further.

No reason to switch. The old arms actually have more adjustment like the video says. New arms + or - 2 degrees. Old arms are + or - 3 degrees. Really the only main functional difference.

New ones have lower MFG cost so that's the main price difference as well.

Just got mine on and aligned. NEW LCASs with STOCK toe bushings. Maxed the toe link all the way and managed to get camber down to -1.2 with VERY VERY MINOR toe in on the rear

Definitely worth the money. Ordered through ft86speedfsctory too

I'm interested in getting these as well....but a little unclear how you'd actually adjust the camber? Do you simply move the hubs inwards/outwards as shown in the red arrows on the picture?

And are the items in the yellow box the toe bushings?

The part in the upper right is the toe bushing. It has to be pressed into the toe link after you press out the stock bushing.

The other parts are the eccentric washers and bolt that go into the hub side. When you rotate the bolt, it is locked into the eccentric washers, and that moves the hub mounting point in/out to adjust camber.

Very happy with my SPC arms. Made for easy camber adjusting in the rear.

Do you recommend these LCAs or the Whiteline rear adj bushing kit for a daily driver looking for stock alignment specs on a BRZ with Eibach prokit springs?

(if it makes a diff, wheel specs are: 18x9.5+39 tires 255-35-18)

These LCA's. Install is easier and you get more adjustment for not much more money. The labor savings alone is worth it over the whiteline bushings.

Whiteline also sells these.

They're cheaper and you keep your factory control arms and the engineering that went into them.
