We tested a prototype LCA mount we made and it helped a ton.. but doing it with just that one arm (and keep stock arm length) we had to move it so far that it really ate up ground clearance and I wouldnt want it for street driving. Next up is to do a custom LCA with a different mounting location.

Well, what are you wasting time posting here for? Get to it.

If someone solves this problem, it's either going to be you, Tony or Sasha.

Charles have you tried a SPL mid link setup (with SPL rear camber links), eliminating the eccentric toe bolt? You can get 0 camber even dropped a good bit and still keep toe in check.

Congrats to all the new FI TT owners. At a relatively low wtq value (gear dependent) the car is rwd traction limited. Getting to near 0 camber or sticky rubber becomes a necessity. Gears 1 and 2 remain useless for me with RE-11s and -1 camber. I also ramp up boost to prevent the wtq spike at 4k rpms. Will try 0 camber soon... And then go back to R888s if that doesn't work.

EDIT: just confirmed - SPL has the 370z versions...

This is the route I will be going soon. Hoping I can squeeze 325/30/19s at 0 camber. Might run a diff brace too.
