Cusco A Arms installed with alignment numbers
FL: camber: -1.5 Toe: -.04
FR Camber: -1.5 Toe: -.08
With Cusco A Arms, SPC camber arms and toe bolts and Volk LE37Ts 19" settings are:
FL Camber: -1.6 Toe: -.05
FR Camber: -1.3 Toe: -.05
Is it Just me or did you not get too much adjustment with the Cusco arms? I have -2.1 camer up front and i'm looking for a set of front arms that will bring it back closer to spec but it seems like the Cusco's don't offer much adjustment.

-2.1 camber up front is not exactly excessive at all
I just redid my alignment today, trying to get a bit better turn in response, and a bit better exit feel.
Here is what I have now...I am only posting befores for the fronts, since we took the rears apart last night to adjust rideheight and put the rear arms in.
Current setup: Cusco Zero2's, Cusco front a arms, Kinetix rear traction arms and camber arms, Cusco sways, 245/40/18 front, 275/40/18 rear.
Front
Before Camber (L)-1.33 (R) -1.45
Before Caster (L)8.35 (R)8.80
Before Toe (L)0.00 (R)0.01
Camber(L) -2.10 (R)-1.98
Caster (L) 8.56 degrees (R) 8.85 degrees
Toe (out)(L) .03 (R) .04
Cross Camber -0.12
Cross Caster -0.27
Total Toe 0.07
Set back ? 0.37 - anyone have any clue what this is?
Rear:
Camber (L)-1.56 (R)-1.58
Toe (L) -.01 (R) -.01
On paper looks great....only thing is, the car drifts to the right now, and steering wheel is slightly cocked - back on the rack tomorrow. But, it turns in great and is very stable in the turns. I'll check tire pressure in the AM

Yep, to ramp this platform up, some won't be comfortable with the camber numbers they need to run, especially in the G community I think. Though I don't think they're looking for that type of setup in general.

Your at -2.1 AFTER the Cusco arm install!? Question I have to know, how low is your car set? And what were the before numbers?
I think he saying his car is at -2.1 before the a arm install
I was just going to ask what the rideheight was too
My car is exactly 25 inches from the center of the fender line to the ground. That gave a "natural" camber of -2.1 degrees pre a arm install. Post a arm install I can get down to -1.3 on the a arms if I want

I'm def. getting these arms soon, I'm dropped about 2in so tire wear is crazy. I cearly am getting these to improve tire wear but I don't want stock settings. For the events I attend I like a little oversteer so i still want streetable wear has anyone found the sweet spot? (adam)

I went with EVO A-arms; the Tech that aligned my car said I had enough adjustment to go to +.5. The car was sitting at -1.9 and -1.7--I have Tein Basics. ...had the camber adjusted to -.3. ..."feathering" stopped also.

because he has lowering springs only, which very typically lower one side slightly more than the other - virtually every car is like this - plus he has fitted aftermarket wheels and tires which alter the final alignment settings

Yes what he said is correct. Lowering springs are never even side to side. I'm switching to some Swift springs and Tokico D Specs soon which should raise the car a bit and hopefully make it more even.
