Im going to choose either these or Top Speed Autos: http://www.topspeedauto.com/index.ph...arch=scion+frs

I just got a set of these. I can't wait to get them installed.

The only question mark I have with these is how are they less than half the price of everyone else? Is everyone else just crazy overpriced, or do these have sketchy build quality?

Nothing at PBM seems to have the kind if markup that most vendors charge. They look to even be fabbing some if their own parts. So if PBM is a "mfg" selling direct then there's no middleman (vendor) markup. PBM can have better pricing controls and balance costs across their lineup.

Going to be installing these this weekend. Anything I should know about as far as installing these particular LCA's? I did some searching and found info on other brands but nothing on PBM except for this thread.

Have you tried PBMs own forums?

Yeah I looked around but didn't really find much. I just want to pull my camber out a bit (cars pretty low) but I wasn't quiet sure how short to adjust the PBM LCA compared to the stock one. I will probably just set them to a little shorter then stock length to pull some of the camber out and call it a day. Never done an adjustable LCA arm install before so hence the dumb questions.

NemeGuero · 04-11-2014, 01:43 PM

Try to match stock length as much as possible, install and then get it aligned asap. They'll fix it.

I put these on my car last week. The build quality is excellent and the multiple locking points on the arm is very nice. Great product and the guys at PBM are super helpful. Definitely recommended for anyone on the fence about LCAs.

illmattic · 04-24-2014, 11:06 AM

Is it necessary to run adjustable toe arms on a car with a decent amount of lowering and these control arms? I've noticed some guys run toe arms with LCA and coils while other dudes just run the coils and LCA and that's it.

the rear toes in quite a bit when lowered a lot. theyre good to have when it's questionable. i would say theyre mandatory if you go lower than 1.5 inches.

BRZPDX · 09-02-2014, 04:18 AM

how much rear camber can you get with these LCA's?

Dihudaxia · 09-02-2014, 10:40 AM

Hold on...

This is a properly noob question here.

You mean you can lower an FRS on 100% stock suspensions just by adding LCA's?
I mean i got the impression by the product description...
