SPC Rear Camber Arm DIY
 

What’s up everybody. My buddy vlogs here in Germany and started up his own YouTube channel. He and I got together to do the rear SPC adjustable camber arms. I’m attaching the video in case anyone wants to see how it’s done and how easy it is. The video is a bit long, but it shows most of what you need to do for the install. Don’t forget to subscribe to his channel if this video helped you out. :thumbup:

Nice! Looking forward to future DIY tutorials in your channel.

P.S. You forgot to blur your license plate around the 18.56 mark

It's not my channel it's my buddy's lol. I noticed that too, but tbh don't care.

What size wrench did he use on the inner nut and bolt? I am thinking he said 19mm/3/4” for the nut, but was it a 19mm for the bolt head as well? Any insight would be appreciated.

Yeah we used a 19mm/ 3/4th. The nut and the bolt are the same. :thumbup:

So are they as necessary to address wear at the rear as the LCA bushings are for the front?

Really just matters if you're lowered as that increases your negative camber. I wasn't too happy about the -2.0+ camber on the rear so I installed the camber arms to get to about -1.5 which is much better.

Right, seems to be (general) consensus that as long as it's still within Lexus-spec that it's fine. I'm only going with Halfs; seems that it's Downs or more (1"+ drop) that get to the point of needing them. Figured it efficient to do all at once but no point throwing money at something that may not be an issue.

Yeah with half downs you should be fine IMO. If you saw the video you know it's not that hard to install the camber arms so I would lower get an alignment after and see what happens from there.

What specifically did you not like about that extra half degree? seems like a whole lotta trouble to go through for half a degree. especially w/ alignment. If it were me, i'd do the arms to go more negative, not the other way around. (up to a point of course) But you're fine.

Back in my BMW days, some of us w/ M3s used to run up to -3 and -3.5 for track performance. -2.5 would be about the norm though as a good compromise. Going back to something "normal" after felt so strange. But for most performance oriented street cars -1.5 to -2.0 is good. As long as you have the rubber and brakes to back it up.

Going that far didn't do anything re. tire wear or otherwise? You "felt" a daily-driving difference in those ranges, or just when pushing it?

Tbh I didn’t like the look of the camber from an angle it looked super tilted. Also I didn’t want to risk inner tire wear by being at -2.3 and stuff. Just a precaution and it really wasn’t that hard and I’m not that lazy so not too much work :thumbup:
