My front has -0.4 camber
-2.2 rear.
Trd lowering springs
Do i need camber bolts and lca?

If you are happy with how your car handles with this alignment, why would you need it.
If you want to change it, you need adjustability. Camberbolts & lca is most common way to get it.
Your own choice/preference, what you want.

LCA's are overprescribed. You don't need them, -2.2° is totally streetable, particularly if you run zero or near-zero toe and rotate tires. IMO -0.4° camber up front is still woefully low, you might get camber bolts to bump that up to -1° (and you'd want a lot more than that for track/autox) but not necessary.

Yes - What ZDan said. I'd get the SPC camber bolts for the front and aim for -1.5* and keep the rears as is.

I dont think anybody has them listed for use on the rear control arms. I didn't need to modify the bolts either.

I have the bolts adjusted to max positive on driver side and max negative on passenger side to even out the camber. In terms of total negative camber gained (left + right side), its none. not much adjustment in them.

Yes. I dont do track or autox. Only for daily.
I just want like the factory set up. For equal threading of tires.
So -2.2 at rear is set. Then -1.5 in front using camber bolts.

Btw
Trd lowering spring
Stock struts
17x9+38 w 245/40/17 is my setup

After reading this review, I am going to buy Godspeed coilover. How it is?

86TOYO2k17 · 07-19-2020, 03:51 AM

Tein Flex A seems to be the only coilover worth getting for under 1k. Other wise just get RCE yellow or TRD lowering springs will be as good or better performance/ride quality as any other coilover under 1k.

Lol half of the products on that list are trash.

Save your money. Be patient. Buy something that’s actually worth buying.

The KWs are probably the only ones on that link that I’d spend my own money on.

Bilstein B6/B8 with springs (RCE yellows or tarmac, Swift sport or Spec R) is a great option IMO. I'm really impressed with the Bilsteins/Spec R setup I just put on my car a few months back.

How is the high speed damping on the B6/RCE yellow combo? I’m trying to find a more comfortable damper setup than the PP Sachs.

WAY smooover high-speed damping. The ride is much less crashy over bumps, and also there's a lot more bump travel so running 1.25" lower springs is no longer the problem it was for me with PP/Sachs and bump-travel-robbing Raceseng camber plates. The ride is transformed

Also theres more low-speed damping so better compatibility with the stiffer lowering springs like RCE Tarmac and Swift Spec R

Excellent to hear! Looks like B6s are in my future.

The bilsteins are great. ONLY reason I wouldn’t consider them for myself is because of the larger OD on the springs used. My wheels wouldn’t fit; they’d hit the springs.

I got KW/GReddy. I feel like for the money, they’re hard to beat, along with the RCE SS1, CSG FLAs, and ST XTAs.
