I'm on KW V3's courtesy of @CSG Mike, about a 1.4" drop.

1. SPC LCA's
2. Very OEM like, adjustable, very affordable
3. I like that they are quiet like OEM. My Whitelines I had before were clunky over small hills at low speed, like making a right turn and going over a small hill where the suspension adjusts to it. It would make a clicking sound. Bugged the hell out of me, but the Whitelines are very thick and durable compared to the SPC's. About my only complaint with the SPC's since I mostly do street driving and I may see a track day once in a blue moon.

Debating on whether I should install the coilovers or just hold off on the install and save up and buy lca's... and would i need adjustable toe links as well?
im lowered 2 inches and my rear camber ended up being -2.7deg. ive put on about 1k miles so far and no signs of excessive wear. i plan on rotating tires (not flipping) every several months.

my toe settings is almost at 0... i think it might be sliiiiiightly spec'd out in the rear.

bad toe setting is what annihilates tread wear... camber wears it out unevenly, but toe just eats that shit up like no tomorrow.

Any adjustable rear LCA will work. Just depends on how often you want to get an alignment.

It's like buying coilovers... a lot of people don't realize that even with locking spring perches, you'd still have things that can come loose and requires regular maintenance.

The more simple a setup, the longer it will last between adjustments.

We've installed probably 50-60 sets of SPC arms and we use them on our Project BRZ which uses KWv3 and is tracked extensively. We've also installed them on our Spec86 Cup car as well.

Good quality parts at a very reasonable price.

I have racerX control arms and I like them. Very solid. Easy to adjust. They are one of the few that use poly bushings which was big for me. No downside so far. I got them anodized black.
