Toe + Camber adjustments w/ SPL
 
If I want to be able to adjust camber, caster, and toe, front and rear, are these the correct parts to do this properly?:

Front:
SPL FUCAs (I already own these)

Rear:
SPL Camber Arms
SPL Toe Arms

Do I need the eccentric lockout kit for the rear?
Anything else?


Why SPL? 'cause track car.
Why Arms? They're beefy and not much more expensive than the links.

SPL's HQ is 15 mins from my house so they're going to hook me up, just need to tell them what I need.

Also -- if there are any Q's you want me to ask them about their parts/setup/etc, let me know and I'll report back!

If you’re getting adjustable arms for the rear, definitely get the lockout kit so you never have to worry about your alignment slipping because of the eccentric bolt (although this might be sort of a myth… haven’t heard many people complaining of the eccentrics slipping…)

With those rear arms, you have true true coilovers right? You can’t run adjustable toe arms like that with OEM divorced setup

Do you have standard coilovers with the stock spring bucket? If so, you want the rear midlinks to adjust toe along with a set of rear springs. Folks with true-type coilovers use the Toe arms. and remove the spring buckets all together. You will need the eccentric lockout kit.

AH -- see this is where I got confused. I'm installing KW Version 3's which has a divorced setup in the rear.

So NO toe arms.

Spooler said I need midlinks. Which sucks. It's like 2x the cost.

You can get SPC toe bolts for the rear if you don't want to do Midlinks. It will work but I don't know if they will hold the alignment well. I have the SPL Midlinks. I have everything SPL. I got the catalog. LOL

I'm down to try a $40 bolt before going all-in on mid links.

I've been running KW V3's for 5 years now with toe bolts and the lockout kit. My alignment has stayed spot on. No slipping. I'd love to have the midlinks but with the price of them and you can't use the KW springs with the midlinks, it's just not a priority.

Looks like I'm settled on:

Front FUCAs

Rear:
- Camber Links/arms
- Eccentric lockout kit
- Toe bolts

That should give me the ability to get a real alignment and not worry about slippage on track.

Thanks dudes.
