Yes RCC SS1s come with camber plates.
Also I thought 5mm spacers don’t need stud replacements? Or is that a myth

Here's some pics after the install:






Posted in the other thread, but the specs after the alignment are -2.6/-2.7 in the front and -3 in the rear (went with -3 to be on the safe side with clearance). Keep in mind that I've had the rear inner fenders shaved.

The 255/35 Yokohama Advan Apex 601 that I'm currently on seem to run a bit thinner than other tires.
Do you have a pic of what you had to do to the inner fender?

Wouldn't ET38 poke more than ET42?

The threads on the stock studs on the first gen are known to be pretty weak, and have just enough engagement when not using any spacers. I would strongly advise against running 5 mm spacers with stock length studs.

Was looking through my phone, and the one picture that I had is a little too dark to really show the details. If i take my wheels off this weekend, I'll try to snap a clear picture.

From what I remember, the tab that protrudes inwards needed to be shaved pretty significantly and some of the inner fender liner was cut in that area as well. I had someone that specializes in fender rolling in the socal area handle the cutting/shaving process.

It would, but he's looking at an 8.5 instead of a 9 in wheel width, so it should have almost the same poke as my setup does in ET38.

I just installed a set of RCE SS1s today. Pretty happy with how the install went. I only dropped it about 7/8". Ended up with about 2.2 degrees camber in back. Dialed in about 2.8 in the front. Should be a good starting point for the BRZ's first visit to the track.

I noted that the front studs seemed quite short and did not appear to offer sufficient length for any sort of spacer.

That’s funny, I just installed mine today as well. I need to adjust it since the front is sitting with a gap of 3 fingers and the rear is at 2 (very scientific I know).

And since 9.5 et45 will be 5mm more fender clearance, perhaps no fender rubbing for +45?

Any thoughts anyone?
+45 French kisses stock shocks
+45 on kw’s no issues plenty of clearance.
+45 on kw”s -2.2 camber no rubbing anywhere up front or out back with not too much drop.

That's actually pretty good. I think a little forward rake is appropriate. Front of mine is about 3/8 lower than rear.

If Mr.Sexy did yours, which I assume he did, Ill be able to get similar pics as I have an appointment on Saturday with him.
