Front camber arm needed?

Joon · 12-22-2020, 11:01 AM

Hello,

It looks like my passenger front side is a little off, would’ve been good if it was around 1.5 but it’s at 2.09. Is front camber arm needed for daily driving? No tracking.

If you lower the car, you need camber arms and toe bolts.

I got them all for the rear but some say that the front was fine without it since it’s just a little in the red.

Please see the post above yours.

You don't have to buy them if you don't want to. In fact, I don't know why people even bother getting an alignment. Uneven tire wear FTMFW!!

The wear will not so bad on front as you have toe within spec.

If you are OCD. Get a set of SPL arms. If not, you good for DD. But if you are planning to go lower. Get the arms.

I have -2.7 degrees of camber all around, but my toe is in (or close to) spec. The wear on my tires is not bad.

As long as your toe is setup correctly, you should be fine. Of course, I have arms to get that much camber in the front without being on the ground.

honestly...if you're not tracking, imo skip the spl. I have spl front and back and if it was for daily driving I would go with Z1's fuca. SPL is solid dont get me wrong, but 900 for fuca is pricey. From what ive heard z1 is solid as well

If you need the arms for adjustability why on earth would you want to buy one that can't be adjusted while installed on the car? SPL is the only way to go.

Yep. The SPL and VooDoo arms are the ONLY 2 that you don't have to remove from the car to make adjustments.

that is a fantastic point. I did not realize those were the only 2 that could be adjusted without removing

I have the Z1 fronts, but I don't do my own alignments. The first alignment is going to be a bitch but if you don't change your setup for every track it's perfectly fine. Honestly, SPL is good if you're on the road setting your car up for different tracks.

Also the place I go to has a packaged price for 4 wheel alignments and corner-balancing. Just don't buy SPC.
