It's easy. No, I don't have aftermarket control arms. I do have offset bushing in my UCA's to get some additional camber. My car isn't slammed in the least, but is about ~1.3" lower than stock.

 

ill have to look up offset bushings as i dont know what they are.
so as long as im not slammed, i look into these offset bushings, i should be able to get enough camber to make the guards miss the rim.. i look at the pic and wonder if thats possible but you guys know best!!!

 

+15, but safe on the tires for the front.

SPL is my favorite, but i have been running a set of Megan front arms on my car for the past 4 years.

 

That offset calculator didn't compensate for the width of a wheel, which also affects offset. For the given difference in width of a wheel, you take half the total deviation (I.e. 10" to 9.5" = .5" deviation) and apply it to the offset. Your current 10" width +30 offset is only 8.65mm less agressive than those 9.5 + 15's. (take .5" off the 10" to make the rims the same width. When you do this, you adjust the offset. .5"/2 = .25" converted into mm = 6.35mm [25.4 mm per 1"] so from there, your 10" + 30 is the equivalent in position to a 9.5 + 23.65. From there, subtract the difference in offset between the newly converted wheel and the wheel you want).

I know, it looks like a mess, but the more you do it, the better you'll understand it and the easier it'll be calculated in your head.

 

You don't want offset bushings. They are MAJOR PITA to install. The only reason we (racers) use them is aftermarket control arms are not legal for our racing class. There is no reason not to just buy aftermarket arms. Also, you would have to have them made, they are not available off the shelf.

 

Oh thanks, i get it, so really its not 15mm further but around ~6.5mm (makes the back fit easy), front a little better...i dont have that 6.5mm but not as bad.. u think the amount of stock camber adjustment could dial that in? my height should keep it away from the rim but again on turning and downforce while breaking is what im worried bout .. but *** it, ill get the +15 and figure it out!!!

ok cool, if i have to get them and cant afford the SPL then at least i know megan is another one i can get.. just the top camber or bottom toe arm adjustment too?

yeah i just read a thread of calculations and custom making them..

 

Just the front end, upper camber arm is needed. The rear end is a different story, most cars will align OK if you don't go to low on the rear.

 

The Kinetix brand front upper control arms are another good choice for "budget arms".

 

Thanks

Ok thanks, saves me some $ then

Gonna fit them tomorrow, any suggestions on camber and toe with stock camber arms ?
