The car looks very good, more aggressive. In the near future post your choice of wheels and tires. Also for the front Camber kit you used can you share the link? Thanks

Looks good, I assume the ride is a little stiffer.

Hi, can you share the link for the camber kit you used on the front of your RX?
Also, just a quick question: didn’t you need a rear upper adjustable control Arm in order to have a square alignment? If yes ! Where did you get it?

Appreciated you getting back to me. And let me return a favor. Regarding the rear upper arms you shared I would advise you to do more research before you buy it. I was myself in the process to buy that same exact one from a a seller on EBay and he was honest enough not to take my money by telling me that this model is for 4th generation down and I went a verify his statement by calling the company that made them, after they put on hold for about 5 minutes to do some research, they came back and confirmed that it was slightly different to fit to my 5th generation RX and they will soon have a new model out, how soon? No idea!
However by keeping on searching I found 2 companies that made rear upper arm for 5th generation
1) T-Demand company base Japan, but they don’t sale directly to US customers unless you want to hire a broker (Japanese) to buy for you I think one I have done business with charge 10% of purchasing cost and you pay for shipping (inside Japan and international) I think the price is about $1,500 US. Or you can buy from some middle guys in the USA for around $2,500

2) Hardrace Company base China, but the have a US base store in Miami, but it’s made to order, your order will take a little over a month to get to you. They are legit you can go on YouTube or Facebook and will see their products on 5th generation RX. Their price including shipping is under $420,


I myself ordered a kit about 3 weeks ago, I am waiting on delivery. Good luck!
