Planning to get Coilovers for my 2IS and want to have very limited Camber and Toe angle. Are these the parts needed for a necessary suspension overhaul?

Camber arms and SPC ball joints really do not equate to a better ride. The spring rates and the stiffness setting of the coilovers however, do.

In my opinion, you do not need the camber arms and ball joints unless you're a) running some massively low offset wheels/tires and require more clearence, b) you're planning to dump your ride height and need to compensate for excessive natural camber, or c) just for the sake of having them and are **** about having adjustable camber settings. Personally, I'm dropped on coilovers maybe a little more than 2" lower than OEM ride height (OEM wheels) and I do not have any camber adjustment. When I got my alignment, lowering did induce additional negative camber, but the amount was still within OEM spec. Tire wear b/c of the additional negative camber has been negligeable. It really is toe that eats up your tires, not camber.

I do recommend investing in poly lower control arm bushings (FIGS or equivalent). They're not a comfort item, but they do save your tires from inner tire wear resulting from toe deflection during braking. That's where I'd invest my money rather than the above items if I were you.

I'd personally wait until you have the coilovers installed and at the ride height you want before going wasting $$ on parts you don't need. I agree you won't necessarily need those camber adjustment pieces unless you'll need to add additional - camber for your wheels/tires to clear the fenders being +20 offset. I also agree that the RR Racing LCA bushings would be a better investment vs the camber pieces if you can get away without them.

Oh, and your current setup on those coilovers are the default. At the very least, I'd highly recommend bumping up the front to 12k and leave the rear at 8k for a DD-friendly stock-like feel.

Perfect. Thanks for all the help. Im just trying to lower the car a touch more than my H&R Sport springs are cause my current struts are done for. So do they make Lower Control arms for Front and Rear or just one end. Everytime i have gone in to get an alignment they have always recommended i get these Ball Joints and Camber arms. But If the bushings is all i need i will invest in them.

Also my steering seems a bit loose....I can feel a little extra give when turning. Is there a part needed to upgrade the feeling in the steering?

Before spending all that money I agree with what VTsuckah said. Install the coilovers first and if you find that when installing these and getting an alignment that the stock ones aren't enough to get the alignment perfect, then invest in this. I know some people need and others don't, it just depends on how what you're looking for.

I too am interested in knowing more about these FIGS bushings I hear so much about. What exactly will it do for me? Benefits. I read that part about reducing toe from braking. Will it make the feeling in my steering stiffer. I feel like I have a little bit of play in my steering wheel. It's not my wheels, I've had them balanced several times and even a road force and they're perfect. I did install the SPC ball joints years ago and not sure if they've loosed a hair in the many years and miles I've driven on them, but I keep hearing about these figs... tell me more please. Thanks.

VTsuckah can you give us your current coiler set up? I will soon be picking up some BC coilovers for my car and don't plan on dropping it too low either. I will be new to the coil over game lol. can you post a pic of your ride too please so I can see how a 2" drop will look on our cars.

You're going coilovers, it'll be just a matter of time you'll be playing the how low can I go game. Then you'll be playing with clearance and offsets etc. We've all been where you are. If this is your first drop, you're doing it right by going with coilovers and BC none the less. I started with springs, then added fsport shocks, then went coilovers and now on coilover and cup kit. Embrace it! Lol you're going to like it.

So many different arms to mess with
