Bodyboarder81 Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Hi all , Bought some 2nd hand rear adjustable eibach/spc camber arms ...... So this will get my camber in line . Do I also need some toe bolts/arms? Also what about rear traction control links? Getting very confused as to what I'll need to be honest ! Car will be lowered around 20-30 mm max Will the front be ok without upper camber arms ? Thanks Quote
ZMANALEX Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 You will probably require the rear toe bolts. Rear traction arms not really required. Front adjustable camber arms will be required if the camber is out with spec. and you won't know this until you have the car on the 4 wheel alignment machine, however you should be within spec at a drop of circa 20, but 30 will be pushing it.

Bodyboarder81 Posted January 11, 2016 Author Posted January 11, 2016 Ok thanks Alex ,I'll order some toe bolts What's these lock out bolts that I keep seeing/ reading about ? Quote
nissanman312 Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 That's where I ended up mate with stock arms My back tyres are low now anyway so I'll see how the wear is and make a decision on arms Quote

nissanman312 Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Well he said so but I thought there was a min drop on kW? ?? Quote
nissanman312 Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 It certainly look like when I dropped it off lol Quote
ZMANALEX Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Ok thanks Alex ,I'll order some toe bolts What's these lock out bolts that I keep seeing/ reading about ? The lock out bolts and washers are to stop the rear arms from moving which would effect your geometry settings. Quote

djtimo Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 You need toe bolts or just by toe arms and be done with it. I needed them and I'm not low at all. Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Josh, you adjust the geometry settings from the arms, unlike the OEM ones which you adjust from the oval bolt. So with the adjustable arms you need to be able to lock it in place where the oval bolt is, therefore you use a square one / locking nut Hope it makes sense. 1 Quote
