Thanks. How do you suggest doing this? I've never have my camber checked but from what I've been told with my 2" drop I should already have approx -1 to -1.5.. Will bushings suffice? And call me a newb, or just a girl, but how do you go about changing toe?

To add the rear camber , you would need the adjustable LCA. Spc brand is the most affordable one . They also have the adjustable toe link to set back your toe to 0. I have both of them installed .

To adjust the camber , you'd need to bring you car to a local alignment shop. Tire discounter seems to have a good deal on that ..$100 for a year service or so .

Just to let you know in advance, the more the negative camber you have , the more wear in the inner tire you'd get. But if you have the toe set to 0 , it'll reduce the wear rate on the tires.

Good luck !

Thank you I appreciate the info! I'm sure I'll need to get some camber, and I understand that the tires will wear faster. Do you think that this setup is going to effect my spirited driving? I was really going for functional and not so much stance when I purchased these.

More negative camber is Actualy better grip on the corner , but not too much off course

im sorry , before you go buying anything, did u get the rear quarters rolled? i saw a guy mention that the fenders are already rolled which is NOT true. Front fenders come pre-rolled from the factory while there is a slight lip on the rear quarter panels (or at least for my BRZ, maybe scion is different but doubt it).

Itll be 100% worth researching on whos the best fender roller in your area as our quarters are a little more delicate than other cars. Also pay attention to the rear bumper tab where the bumper meets the quarter panel, this area can rub alot too, just grind it down a bit with a dremel or angle grinder to make some room.

if all else fails , i recommend going with the @racerx1715 Upper Control Arms rather than any LCA. LCAs tend to throw your toe way off, and UCA give you way better fender clearance than LCA. Just think of it as the UCA tilts the top of your wheel inwards while the LCA kicks the bottom of the wheel outwards.

To tuck the wheel behind the quarter panel, with the UCA you may need lets say 1 degree more while with the LCAs youll need 2 or 3 approx. which will effect your handling

I have Racer X uca, GT Spec LCA and megan racing toelinks, and imo the UCA is the best bang for the buck. Good luck fitting these, if anymore questions just shoot me a PM.

Excellent info thanks! And FYI scions the same. The front come rolled and the rear do have somewhat of a lip

But I guess I should say it's not very much at all. Maybe less than 1/4 inch

Rolling ain't gonna cut it you need more camber. -2 to .2.3 will help (a lot)

This^ the lip left in the rear is very small so won't help you with much over two mm
