Default UCF10/11 Front Camber

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to make this work...




and it's pretty close but I'd like to add some camber to bring the top of the wheel in a bit. Upper camber arms for these seem rare and stupid expensive are there other Toyota vehicles that share parts which may have aftermarket stuff that is more obtainable? Like Supra or something? What do people tend to do for camber adjustment in these things? Doesn't look like you'd get much out of the eccentric bolt on the FLCA.

Cheers.
Karl

the stock negative camber adjustment is pretty good for a stock setup, so try that first. no control arms are interchangeable with a Supra/anything else.

Most people are satisifed with stock adjustments, those needing more usually end up either shelling out for FUCAs or buying an NRCA (negative camber roll center adjuster) from either Nagisa ($$$) or Studio ($.5)

Thanks I'll have a fiddle with the stock camber, that and probably a bi more of a pull for the guards

wow looks good but that will hit during turns eh? get a smaller tire size, or as PD stated, you will need RCAs for more negative camber beyond the stock adjustment.

haha yeh it doesn't steer just yet.

We have laws on tire sizes that you are allowed to run on certain width wheels, these are 255/35 which you aren't "allowed" to run on anything larger than a 10inch wide rim, I have them on a 10.5 so already outside the limits, alas I won't bet getting smaller tires unfortunately.

I'll keep working away at it and see where I get.

I think the fitment looks good as is. Idk how much ur willing to get more camber, but look up studio. Theyre prototyping parts for front camber right now

NRCA will give you more negative camber but at the expensive of pushing the entire wheel out (approx 10mm), which negates what youre trying to do. In your situation youd benefit from an adjustable UCA.

Really? I have a 255/35 on a 12 wide wheel and it's been fine. sorry to bring this thread back from the dead as I'm searching for information on suspension.
