@RavSpec, w/ the gtspec rear camber arms, does the 30mm bend raise the ride height and reduce bumptravel?

yes raise by about 1" to compensate for the bend due to the drop of the suspension.

Mark.

Could you elaborate on that?

So if I were to install them on a completely stock car it would sit higher? Looks to me like the shock mount is lower down in the arm, which would lower the car with no other changes.

Love that front strut/power brace setup

Nice, I'd like to see a bronze wheel on white though.

What's the availability looking like on these braces?

RavSpec · 07-18-2013, 04:49 AM

Quick bump ....

Thanks for working with GTSPEC and their product line. All pieces appear well designed and easy to install. I've looked across many forums without finding any quantitative analysis of before and after installation of any chassis products. Can you point me toward any analysis beyond seat of the pants?

Is this a part in development for BRZ?

Yes, new version for brz specifically.

stancypants · 08-05-2013, 12:33 PM

RavSpec · 08-05-2013, 03:32 PM

no, not at all, installed with stock spec out of the box.

@RavSpec this question had been posed in this thread before, does the bend on the rear lower control arm lower the shock mounting point, in effect, lowering the car and keeping bump travel?

I'm confused because this was GTSpecs official response -

"Thank you for your inquiry. Our BRZ/FRS rear camber were not developed for lowering the stock shock mounting point. The arm was mainly design for camber adjustment. "

Also do they use sphericals on the end?
