Wonky rear camber - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

jdzumwalt · 10-02-2012, 02:28 PM

So I installed my KW coilovers on Friday. Has anybody had a major differentiation between left and right rear camber. I'm looking at 1.7 on Rear left and 2.7 on rear right nothing appears to be bent just kinda weird.

Sitting on an even surface? Heavy things inside the car on one side?

Ive put 2 different frs on my alignment rack and none were straight.

In some cars, you can loosen up the subframe and push it towards the side with not enough negative camber and then re-tighten it to make both sides a bit more uniform. I haven't tried on my BRZ but its worked on some others.

Mine is bad too i have -1.4 on the left and -2.5 on the right with just Tein H Tech springs, i am looking at the SPC and GTSpec lower control arms i don't know if i can get my tech's to install the camber bushing kit.

Toyobaru808 · 12-07-2012, 12:40 PM

so anyone know what the best rear control arms are?

Im also lowered on kwv3s and have a rear of -1.9 and -2.6. (trying to achieve -1.5 in the rear)

SPCs price looks good but I dont know if they are quality, they dont look as beefy as DME, Cusco, or AP.

JoeBoxer · 12-07-2012, 12:41 PM

Turn In Concepts is using the SPC's which was good enough for me, i haven't had any trouble out of mine.

Same here; love my SPC's and their ease of adjustability.

I also have KWs and installed Cusco arms. I'm sitting at -1.2 in the rear.

Can anyone chime in on dme, AP, or gtspec LCAs? What make AP so much more expensive?

I would most definitely get Whiteline over AP for roughly the same price. GC and Esoteric have some in the works too i believe. Out of the ones listed in your post i'd go GTSpec.

I have the AP and love them, with every single other arm you have to remove the bolt to the subframe to be able to adjust it. With the AP setup you can just hop under the car loosen the lock nuts and adjust the length of the LCA without removing the bolt. Some people will say that the threaded rod is a weak point, but after seeing the Cusco arms and GT Spec which are just stamped and welded steel vs. the machined block of aluminum with steel fittings that comprise the AP unit, the extra cost is worth it. The Whiteline looks amazing, but i don't think it's even out yet but it would have been my only other choice if it was available when i needed mine. Also AP is red and I like red!
