Rear Camber Arm

I ordered the HR Springs this afternoon. While doing so my installer mentioned that after the install and they get it on the alignment/camber machine there is a chance we might need to get a rear camber arm if there is not enough adjustment to get it set correctly. They said we will have to wait and see. These guys are experienced installers.

I was curious if any of you who have installed springs on your CMS 4 had enough adjustment to get the rear camber correct, or did you need to add a rear camber arm.

If I go with a rear camber arm I am looking at SPC Mini Rear Camber Arm

Looking at the H&R Project car set up they did not use a rear camber arm H&R Project Car so I am hoping it is not necessary to obtain the needed amount of adjustment.

Yes you will need rear adjustable control arms to get the rear camber correct.

I suggest the Hsport rear camber links as we have had customers using them for 9+ years without failure, and we use them on the race cars too.

If you have a race car then the Hsport are good. But for a street car you want the SPC.

The lowering springs will increase your rear camber to close to -3* and you will need adjustable arms to adjust it back to a reasonable amount. The stock adjuster only allows for a very slight range of adjustment.

There is already a thread about this... https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...trol-arms.html

Can you do us a favor and snap a couple of quick photos of the springs, and post them, before you have them installed?
