For a street car, you it wrong

Wrong rims
Wrong tyres
Wrong alignment

Your car now handles worse than OEM

Your braking is now worse than OEM

Your doing it wrong, unless of course all you care about is how "you think" your car looks best hard parked.

The alignment is not good enough, you need to balance your toe left to right or it will continue to pull to one side.

I’m gonna get back on the alignment rack soon

That alignment is good enough. 0.1° toe in on one rear and 0.05° toe-in on the other side is really not a big deal.

If car pulls to one side on acceleration, *and* the rear tires are at the same appropriate pressure, *and* same make model and at similar wear level, the thing to do is swap rear tires left to right and see if the pull changes direction. If so, bad tire.

Well it's not uncommon that camber plates need to be in different positions to get equal camber on alignment rig but yours seem to have quite a big difference. Are both of your coilovers set to the same lenght ?

Hello MrSkubi

The coilovers are set at the same ride height.

strat61caster · 09-26-2022, 03:06 PM

Did your alignment guy max out the camber bolts before adjusting the camber plates?

Hello,

There is no camber bolt on the stock suspensions of a scion frs and i installed the coilovers with the oem bolt so there is no lower adjustement for the camber. The only way to ajdust camber in my cas is by moving the top camber plate.

BC coilover has a slotted upper bolt hole for camber adjustment with factory bolts.

Seems like any car I've done suspension to in the past decade.
Camber plate are for quick eye camber adjustment NOT for centering the car.
Most of the cars that I've dealt with were as easy as fixing the camber at the bottom of the strut. Then of course, 2 of the cars needed the entire subframe shifted.
