Rear camber etc
Hi,
I bought wheels that are 11" wide with low ET for the rear. I'll be rolling fenders but i want/need a lot of negative camber. I know that I need: * Adjustible Lower control arms * Adjustible toe arms So, question is. Is it neccessary to buy Upper control arms? Do I need Trailing arms? What are trailing arms for? This is my first GT86, I've only built Nissan, Honda and other cars. I googled a lot but can't find exactly what i'm looking for. Excuse me for my bad english, I'm from Sweden! |

imho you shouldn't need trailing arms, you might need upper arms to get what you want but with just the two lower arms maxed out the car is likely near undrivable at anything other then parking lot speeds so I say just hit the alignment shop with the two lca's and see where you're at.
There's more stance boi's on instagram and facebook, you might have better luck there. |

If you have 18x11-6 or similar i think you will need to focus on pulling the top of the wheel in with ruca. Here is my stockbody with 18x11-6 on before I cut fenders. You see the wheel is very far out and the top would need to be pulled in, but the bottom could left alone. On the finished product photo you notice my wheel sits more towards the rear of the wheel well. Trailing arms adjust this and could bring the wheel back to the center of the well, but i do not rub or find a problem with how it is so I did not buy trailing arms. Hope this helps.

I just remembered the above stockbody 18x11-6 picture is with 25mm spacers too. Sorry for the confusion, but knowing that my recommendation would be change rlca and toe arms. That is the most common way of upgrading rear suspension. I would 9nly get trailing arms and ruca after you install rlca and find it's not enough

Why the hell would there be spacers on 11 inch wheels?

Just to reinforce my recommendation to not derail the thread, I think you should first install rlca and rtoe arms and then see if you still need ruca, but you probably wont
