Default SUPERSPORT rear LCA

Hi all, we have decided to offer a new in between product offering below our full RACE version arms and our EE arms that we have offered in the IS300 and 2GS market, the SUPERSPORT. The SUPERSPORT has all of the same build qualities of our RACE version arm but with no dimples.
We are also offering at a further discount as we have temporarily depleted our RACE sheetmetal stock.
Just to summarize the function of this arm, it allows adding or correcting negative camber and provides instant traction due to eliminating the rubber bushing and replacing it with a spherical bearing. We typically add a little negative camber to the rear of the IS-F in order to lengthen the toe link and reduce bumpsteer in the rear. We continue to provide the best performing options at the most reasonable prices and strive to make improvements when we can.






available alone or as part of our Essential kit.

Curious if you know the weight difference between the dimpled Race and the non-dimpled Supersport?

0.35 lbs mostly outboard so its swing weight.

They adjust using that cammed bolt? Not my favorite design.

The offset length is adjusted prior to mounting via the inner rod end. The outboard cam is for fine adjustment without impacting sway position or shock position. There are few adjustment designs as elegant as the cam and it works very well for its intended purpose. An inboard fine adjustment would shift the shock and sway endlink mounting angles which would not be desirable.

So using this, u can adjust camber even without an adjustable camber arm? Like the upper one from spc?

^Yes. And from my experience this is the better way to adjust camber vs. an upper arm.

This is the more ideal location to actually adjust camber, but for our purposes we were actually adding negative camber so that we can push the rear tire forward and lengthen the toe link for reduce bumpsteer. On the flipside, by reducing the rear LCA length (correcting, you can closer match the factory toe link sweep and reduce bumpsteer that way as well). In short its better to adjust at the LCA location than on top due to the multi-link geometry.
