Rear Camber Arms

christian370z

I just ordered some lowering springs so I am on the prowl for a set of rear ajustable camber arms. If you have a pair, let me know... I have no preference about whether it is new or used either!

SPC rear camber kit with toe bolts is the same as the eibach and ichiba. you can get them for 150 maybe a bit more from most vendors

SPL will fetch about 250.

Do you think the camber bolts will cover enough adjustment range to accommodate my Swift springs? If they do, I would definately go that route. (Lowering specs are 1.25" Front and 1" Rear)

the stock camber bolts/arms? the aftermarket ones will certainly be able to get you back to stock allignment settings with a drop like that. the stock ones will not.

Don't get the bolts alone, get the bolts and arms kit.

I'm getting the SPC rear camber kit tomorrow @ amplified. It includes bolts and arms and I would say it's very affordable. However, I've heard some forum members were able to get pretty close to stock settings without rear camber kits but the drop was conservative like Eibachs. So you may not need them with swift springs since I've heard the drop is somewhat less than advertised.

Also consider, front camber CANNOT be adjusted with the stock upper control arm. SPC has a front camber kit, which is a replacement upper control arm that allows for camber and caster adjustments. Some vendors will have special pricing if you buy both front and rear kits...I think the going rate for both kits combined is around $510 - 515.

Is the front needed? I don't see many specific mentions of those who are lowered needing the adjustable upper control arm, could I get away with foregoing that part?

No, if you don't care to bring front camber back to spec. A little neg front camber can help to reduce understeer, whixh isn't a bad thing. In my case my front camber was out of whack after lowering (-1.0 on one side, -1.6 on the other). Plus I wanted to take my camber to -2.2 to increase turn in response.

Thanks for all the information DJ, I really appreciate your insight. I definately am not looking to go as aggressive as you are in terms of camber, but I wouldn't mind a little more than stock for initial turn in either.

Hey, no problem.

The way I see it, might as well get it done right the first time. I ended up not getting the front kit before my alignment, only to find out that front camber cannot be adjusted without a kit. So, I had to pay for another alignment once I ordered and had the front kit installed. Would have saved myself $100 if I had done the front and rear all at once. Thus, I'm passing along that savings to you.
