Lowered with BC coils, what do I need?

I have swapped to BC coils front and rear, the rear camber is screwed bad. Do I need camber arms, traction arms, and toe arms to get back to stock

I have swapped to BC coils front and rear, the rear camber is screwed bad. Do I need camber arms, traction arms, and toe arms to get back to stock ish camber? Not sure exactly what I need and don't want to buy more than I need if I don't have to! Thanks guys!!

another ******* one of these?

your front camber/caster is not adjustable from the factory, so you need a replacement front upper control arm. I know you said it's your rear camber, but i'm betting your fronts are ****** up too

In the back you need a lockout kit to replace your factory eccentric bolts. These are prone to slipping. You will not need them anymore because you will be getting adjustable arms that do the adjusting

You will need rear camber arms, rear traction arms, and EITHER a replacement midlink or replacement toe arm. If you have "true" type coilovers (spring around damper), you want the toe arm. If you have "OEM" type coilovers (spring separate from damper),. you want the midlink

The brand you'll be getting is SPL parts (splparts.com), because they're never gonna break and have lots of easy adjustment for your alignment tech.

The brand you won't be getting is Z1 (known failure) or anything off ebay (obviously)

Also, you won't be complaining about the price, because you want to do it right, once, and never have to worry about anything breaking or slipping or not being adjustable enough or being hard to adjust.

And if you see Nismo parts, you should know they are SPL parts, made by spl parts, but with red/silver and a higher price tag.

Do you enjoy being wrong?

https://www.z1motorsports.com/coilov...rs-p-9485.html

They make both and you could have found that out with the quickest search.

why are you still asking about SPL or whiteline? whiteline sucks


Stop posting man, you have nothing to add.
