Because the -1.8 im at from a bit of drop on coils is fine?

Both sides are close enough to give 0 fucks about spending $500 ish on lca and another track alignment.

Though. With some more camber in back i could run a 275/35/18

Sometimes alignment even on stock car/stock suspension can be out of whack. Worth checking not just 'for track'.

It was

Rear camber was fine for my uses, at a point where no need for lca at the time when it was still dd.

Rear toe on the other hand needed fiddling

The car currently is only driven "for track", if anything id be adding more -camber

Gotcha, I guess if you luck out and it's close on both sides.

Anyone at all using the TRD (JP) lateral link kit? (I know it isn't adjustable like all the other brands mentioned in this tread, but I was just curious.)

We include grease now so people can grease their pillow balls. That being said it is still a pillow ball bearing. We were going for the best performance possible, not the quietest. When they are properly greased the noise is minimal. Many of our customers do not have any noise once greased well.

I've gone through this thread and I'm still up in the air as to which LCA would suit me best.

My car is primarily a weekend/track car and sees limited street use. I'm looking for a LCA that can be easily adjusted on the car and strong enough for track abuse. I do like the have the extra travel built in the control arm if I can get it and the seat at link as well.

Can anyone offer a suggestion or has experience tracking with lower control arms.

There are a few local dudes who went straight for the SPL because beefiness (@1Cor10:23).

I daily mine but not a true track rat in that sense but I just got the SPC's which seem to be ok for now.

We're a huge fan of the SPL arms here, have them on the race car now (got rid of the annoying Cusco ones) and all of our personal cars.
