I think the front could use a 20mm spacer. The 15mm looks great on the back. Does 20mm work in the front or would that rub? I just see most people running 15mm all the way around and was curious if 20mm was an option.

 

I decided to get the alignment to see how it looks after that. Turns out the rear is fine and all within factory specs, but the camber in the front is too negative. Since our car has no camber adjustment, I will probably be buying some new SPC ball joints to resolve the issue.

 

Save your money! Camber is not the culprit to tire wear. Especially on our cars. I too was very skeptical. After reading up on why our car wears so bad on the inner front tire I decided to go with the Figs lower control arm bushing and align the front to as close to zero toe as possible. After driving like this for a year now I have zero abnormal wear on my tires lowered on swift springs and 15mm spacers.

 

yes post some pics please!

My friend here in Australia has swift springs and 20mm spacers all round, and he said the front wheels rub the fender liners. The fix is either cut out fender liner where it rubs, or use a heat gun and mould it.

I went for 15mm spacers because that seems to be the normal on here. Can't wait to get mine installed! The H&R DRS kit with extended studs looks very quality! I'm happy I got these instead of the Ichiba V1 ones.

What was the camber reading? I was told by a few guys that race that you won't really see tire wear from camber below about -2.5 deg. My last alignment I went to zero toe in the front and pretty much eliminated my front tire wear problems that I had with the OEM set up.

 

Awesome! I'm running zero toe (before spring install) and inner wear looks to be eliminated. I've done about 10,000kms on my 245/275 Michelin PSS tires and they still look great. These should last much longer than the 30,000kms I got out of the OEM Bridgestones.

How do you find the LCA bushing? Can you notice anything? I can buy that locally as it's a SuperPro product, seems like a good upgrade for sure.

 

I bought mine here. There's a pretty good video showing how crappy the OEM bushings are. I didn't notice any difference as far as the ride goes.

My car was -2.1 on one side and -1.8 on the other side. I will get some pics posted today. I just can look at the front tire and tell its cambered and that's what bothers me the most. The car does look great with the 15mm spacers, but I just thought the front could come out a little more. I think if I got the camber fixed it would probably look better because the wheel wouldn't be tilted in as much.

 

It won't fix the wear problem though. Toe out is the culprit.

 

Is the figs lower control arm a requirement to zero out the toe issue or can it be dialed in on stock suspension with lowering springs?

 

I think the Toe is fine on mine. The only thing that was not within spec was the camber. So are you saying with negative camber like I have the tires will wear fine.?

 

Pics after springs and 15mm spacers...I love how the sun shines on the Pearl, so I had to post these first.

 

Few more pics...

 

Awesome! Very nice..

Can't wait to do my spacers..

 

What makes you believe toe is fine? It is the primary reason for inside (or outside) edge wear in any wheel with less than 2.5 degrees of camber. If you have more than 2.5 degrees of camber, then you would need camber correction. I run -2.0 on all four corners of my Supra and have no issues with tire wear as long as the toe is set right.

 

I just had it aligned a couple days ago and the sheet they gave me afterwards showed the toe in spec for the front. The only thing that was out of spec was the Camber and Caster. Left side was -1.8 for camber and 6.7 for caster and -2.1 for camber and 7.1 for caster on the right side.
