Camber issue after wheel install

I have 2010 z with swift springs and recently went from stock 18s to rohana rc10s 20's. Went directly through Rohana and they knew the offset that would sit flush.

Default Camber issue after wheel install

I have 2010 z with swift springs and recently went from stock 18s to rohana rc10s 20's. Went directly through Rohana and they knew the offset that would sit flush. Not sure off the top of my head what it is. The fronts look great and after the rears were installed i noticed the tops are tucking in. I went for alignment hoping this would pull it back out and have them sit right but they had no luck. I attached the specs from the alignment. They recommended getting a rear camber kit. I am going to probably order SPC rear camber adjustable arms. Will this do the job or is there something else I should be looking for?

Do your self a favor, stay away from SPC... I'm lower on swifts as well, I went with the SPL rear camber arms and TOE bolts, also I went with the Z1 upper control arms. Another option is the SPL upper control arms but those were to expensive for me at the time. Good luck

Spc or spl rear camber arms and toe bolt is all you need to fix this while on swifts

thank you for the replies. I see spc on a good amount of websites. Who carries the spl and how much am I looking at for the rears?

IPP and THMotorsports have the best prices on SPL parts... I went with Kyle (IPP) since he replied faster but you can't go wrong with either.

That's the correct part, and they come as a set (pair). However, I'd contact them on the forum for a better price.

I've had the SPC rear kit & bolts on for a couple years, never has a problem.

I'm sure you'll be very happy with SPL's, top shelf product.

While nice, I hear the SPL front control arms are pretty noisy for street driving.

I have the SPL upper control arms and the lower bushings too. As for noise. It's no worst then a noisy set of tires. I can't really hear the increase in noise. But I can fell the difference in steering feel.

For alignment settings. -2.4 in the rear is a lot unless you are tracking the car or going for the wild camber look. I'm tracking mine with 345/30-19 on a 12" rim with a camber setting of -1.75.

Thanks for the help just got my spl package today. I'm going to have them installedo Friday then get the alignment. This may be a dum question but do I have to get all 4 wheels aligned or just the rears? I have my old h&r spacers and will see how the outcome looks. Worst case scenario I will use them. I ll post pics after the install

All 4 yes. I've been there and I've asked the same question.

Yes, do all 4. Because your thrust alignment may be off. When you set to rear toe, the front toe will be off in 98% of the time.
