The final touch

So the last part of my upgrades is the BC BR coilovers, I have them but haven't installed yet. I have been doing alot of reading here about camber and not wanting to trash my new Pilot Super
Sports so I will be purchasing Megan upper control arms and rear Megan camber arms. This car is my daily driver and I will not be droping real low, do you guys think I will need toe arms also?

It's the toe that destroys your tyres, not the camber.

Install the BCRs and the various camber arms all at the same time. Then find an alignment shop to get you within factory alignment specs. Like what was said, the TOE is what will eat tires up quick!

If you arent dropping very low, your factory linakges will get your toe back into spec. Only get camber arms if you 1) need more camber or 2) dont want the negative camber (its minimal) from dropping it. the toe is what eats tires the fastest, as iinkz said.

My 08 IS350 is lowered about 1.5-2" with BC coilovers and I have the Megan front UCA's and rear camber arms and I am able to set my camber to what I want and still get 0 toe. I am running a relativly aggressive camberr though (-2.5 front and -1.75 rear) but I think you will be fine without toe arms.

Thanks everyone, I just ordered the camber arms and UCA from Circuit motorsports. I'm not going real low so I should be fine. I will post pics as soon as everything is installed.
