Since the car was so low, the arms were shortened in order to bring camber angle degrees closer to neutral

Does anyone know if it's possible to use rear Supra LCA's on our cars? I know the Supra arm is supposed to be shorter, but wouldn't that help correct excessive negative camber for lowered people?

it's better than stock, which was the goal i was looking for in the beginning. then it kinda rolled out of control. Was all the time investment worth it? hell yes.

I love these cars but handling is not their strong point.

That's why i went straight for the suspension on this car. the lower the standards, the easier they are to surpass.

Candela above pretty much answered it. I've raised my car since about an inch or 1.5" and the rears look dangeously close to having positive camber, but I still have a ton of adjustment so that won't be a problem in the least.

I thought supra front and rear lca's were the same length as sc's

The fronts are a given for sure, but not sure about the rears. I just read it a few times on the forum that the rears may be shorter

I've never read of anyone using a Supra rear lca though.

I assume they're all the same length, I make that assumption because when you look at aftermarket arms it usually says JZZ30/JZA80

The supra rlca is a different length then the sc. So are the toe links. Both about 2 in shorter.

I tried to measure it up to see if they would help correct the rear camber but they are way off in length from the originals.
