SPC Rear Adjustable Lower Control Arms

[Bcarlos]

Hey all. Would like to know if anyone installed SPC Rear Adjustable Lower Control Arms. If so, did you use the toe bushing that was included? How well did it work? Or went with different route and purchased a seperate adjustable toe arm instead. Thanks!

i have them... not really the ideal solution to camber issues, no lower arm is though. they work decent for the price though.
ideally you want an adjustable upper arm, the lowers really affect toe at the same time they adjust camber due to changing the track width. i found i didnt need the bushing to get my car where i wanted it alignment wise.

Im trying to do the flush slammed look...depending on what set up im doing as far as wheel fitment and rims goes do you recommend and upper arm more than an LCA?

How stiff is the bushing in the SPC arm? Is it close to the poly aftermarket bushings?

I have them; tracked them; love them for the ease of adjustability.

The bushings are much stiffer and beefier than the OEM bushings.

The toe bushings are NOT required to align the car properly.

Even vendors are using them and can vouch for them:

You might like the Stance or GTSpec arms for the slammed look.

I just ordered mine on monday, dropped the car on Sportlines and I have ridiculous rear camber. Glad to hear I don't need the toe bushing.

I must disagree with this i couldn't get the car to align right with out putting the toe bushings in. and you get what you pay for after one adjustment the tac welds the hold that bar the the centric bolt ride on snapped off. the fitment is Honorable i have to pry them apart to fit rear strut in between the control arms. plus they just look flimsy. but you get what you pay for. i have used spc parts before and they have always been great quality but i must say im disappointed in these control arms

Sounds like install error.

The cam nut shouldn't require that much effort to turn when installing the arms correctly. You're supposed to tighten only the outer hub bolt before putting the wheels back on and lowering the car back onto the alignment rack, then proceeding to adjust the arms as necessary. Having a proper alignment rack is critical to minimizing the effort in adjusting the cam nuts and dialing in the alignment since they feature pads that the wheels sit on and float/move around based on adjustments being actively made.

I am waiting on a warranty arm as the tab also sheered off on one of my arms. The welds were pathetic. The was no indication of heat penetration on the parts. I would have tig welded it myself but I didn't have time to spend on it that day.
I will replacing mine with reinforced stock arms and adjustable uppers asap.

Where are you seeing adjustable uppers? Or do you mean the Whiteline bushings?
