Hey Guys,

I recently installed upgraded OEM suspension which lowered the car. I know i need to get some items for alignment purposes with a lowered car however wanted to ask for some help.

I understand for the front I only currently need new upper control arms which are adjustable - I'm looking at SPL upper control arms
Since i have OEM style suspension i was wondering about the back

Do all i need is Rear camber control arms? or anything else required right now?
I am also planning to get a new toe bolt kit.

I just wasnt sure if i needed traction control arms, i understand rear toe arms are if you dont have the spring bucket.

 

By "Upgrading the Factory Suspension" did you install lowering springs? If you did the SPL upper control arms will get you back to OE specs. Out back SPL also makes adjusters and toe bolts which will take care of that issue! Every one needs that spring bucket, you'd be drag'in azz without it! The most anyone does normally in cut an inch off the lip, not the best idea if you back into parking spots frequently! Now all you need to do is find a alignment shop that has the knowledge to adjust your modified suspension, a frequent challenge!

You need upper control arms in front (see kinetix v2; the SPL are really good, but have solid bushings; lots of NVH), rear camber arms (see spc, or eibach) and spc toe bolts. The spc toe bolts are actually the most important part. You do NOT need toe/traction arms in back unless you have spring bucket delete (like you stated).

You would also be wise to put polyurethane bushings in your front lower control arms and compression rods.

 

Thanks guys.

I got OEM style stance super sport. For what i wanted they were good for now while i figure out the direction of the car and probably swap them out at a later date.

thanks again this is alot of help and eliminates me wasting money on stuff i dont need

 

LolikO, if you need a lowering kit can be found when you get your G aligned! Communicate with the mechanic doing the alignment, if your G is within specs or very close you don't need the a-arms and adjusters. If it's off enough to cause excessive tire wear, spend the $$ and do it right! Not rocket science, just logic.
