FA500 vs Stance SS vs BC - most front camber? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

manualmotive · 03-29-2015, 09:25 PM

So I'm currently just waiting for one of the following coilovers to be posted on a used parts forum: Fortune Auto 500, Stance SS, or BC (:/). Will all these coils have the same amount of max front camber adjustability with their top mount camber plates? Or will some offer more than others?

I'm already running whiteline camber bolts in the front but only getting -1.2 camber in the front. I'm looking to get at least -3 degrees out of the front when the coils go on. Will all of the coil options listed by fine for that or will I need additional mods?

And what about camber correction on the rear? I only want -1 to -2 degrees in the rear and I'm already getting over 2 of natural camber on Sportline springs (-1.5in). Most likely getting PBM RLCA's to deal with this though.

Looking to be dropped 2.5 inches all around, give or take a half inch.

Sorry for the weak ass thread but nothing helpful was coming up in the searches.

I think that stance and maybe fortune have slotted upper holes on the lower mount, which allows for a bit more camber if you have the tire clearance. That way you just bolt it up with max camber on the lower mount before you align it.

I've only had their 240sx coilovers though, so you'll have to check with someone here who has them.

What are you going for? FA500s won't give you the drop you are looking for if you want "slammed". They give a lot of camber, but I haven't maxed mine yet. Rears are maxed(lowest) btw:

Thanks ^ I'm assuming you're on stock rear LCA's? With Stance or PBM it lowers the rear another inch.

PS: I'm also planning on getting federal 595's and filling in the lettering lol. Good taste

EDIT: How close are you to max low in the front?

I am pretty close. I think I am going to drop it as low as I can and raise it from there. I'll get pictures.

Interested to see pics. Also if you want to sell your coils I'll pick them up hahah. Think I'm gonna go with the fortunes and pbm rcla's. I've read with that setup max low is about 3" all around if I really felt like making it undriveable

EDIT: Wheel/tire specs?
