Leggy-5th.GEN Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I just sent SPC an email to see if this fits the 5th gen Legacy. It seems we share the same LCA with wrx/sti/forester and brz so hopefully it does. I am pretty sure BRZ/FRS are sharing this same part with 5th. gen legacy. This part number (692 474L) is mostly referenced to FRS/BRZ LCA but the installation manual is for BM/BR. I picked up one from a local guy that is parting out his FRS. Painting the LCA with Grimspeed Cherry Blossom Red, pictures to follow. http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/ajphoto09/CuscoLCA_zpsd6dc8529.jpg Added some pictures Primed http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/ajphoto09/DSC_0004_zps9872e092.jpg Painted http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/ajphoto09/DSC_0029_zpsad0aeb8a.jpg Installed http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/ajphoto09/DSC_0032_zps0c602479.jpg http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/ajphoto09/DSC_0046_zpse9e3c625.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2baru Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 ^you would be correct of the fitment for the brz to be compatible on ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gborja888 Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 I've got RCE blacks and Bilsteins setup, I'm interested in getting LCA to fix the rear camber issue. So far I've found two part numbers: Cusco 692 474L GtSpec GTS-SUS-1376 Any other parts I should look at(links would be great)? Thanks in advance Hardrace 6754-R / Megan racing in US http://www.hardrace.com/products.asp?strClass1=9&strClass2=66&strClass3=169 Agency power also makes one but I have just remember that there was no hole to support the bracket for the self leveling headlight. SPC also make a very simple adjustable rear LCA, not sure if you would like it though. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanger Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 But I can't seem to find everywhere selling the new version. Even the GTSPEC website still listed the old version. http://www.gtspec.com/product/gtspec-rear-control-arm-camber-adjustment-08-subaru-12-brz-frs The new version part number is GTS-SUS-1473 I just posted mine up for sale http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/fs-ca-new-gtspec-lca-rear-adjustable-control-arm-gts-222978.html ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT_36R Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Just browsing the web and notice this economical adjustable LCA offered by Whiteline, KTA216. Roughly have the price of other LCA on the market at 260-280US. Doesn't look like any weight reduction, but you get the ability to adjust camber. I'm still using the Cusco myself, thought I share. +/-2.5deg camber http://www.whiteline.com.au/product_detail4.php?part_number=kta216 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zee199969 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 For about 200-220, the SPC LCAs can be had. The camber range is +/- 2 degrees My "Build" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DugsSin Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I like the various mounting options on the RSR https://www.rs-r.com/product/rs-r-rear-lower-control-arms/ but also like the billet of the ISC http://iscsuspension-na.com/store/#!/ISC-Rear-Adjustable-Control-Arms-V2/p/28352614 and the color is perfect for me. other than the price anyone here anything bad about either one ??

Zee199969 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 The RSR one seems to have an aggressive bend in it like an earlier GTSPEC one that was mentioned in this thread.

DugsSin Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Good observation yet the RSR pages say each set of holes include the factory location. On the flip side I don't like important pieces like these having TOO many holes drilled in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandon.mol Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 If you live somewhere with winter-salt, I'd recommend that you to not get one with pillow-ball bearings. They'll be toast in 1 - 2 years. Go for something with a PU or hardened rubber bushing at the end. There are way less options, but the SPC, Whiteline kit above, the mysterious Whiteline aluminum copper coloured ones, or hardrace with hardened rubber are good options. That whiteline kit above looks like a good option. Same setup as the SPC, if I am not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodwingg2 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I have my car lowered and haven't install rear LCA. My rear camber is sitting funny right now, with Left of -1.8 and Right -2.5. It also runs side by side stupidly when the road surface is not even. Got an advice from a guy from car club, his wife has 4th gen in it and get a camber bolts or Rear LCA (I forgot :lol), but he told me to get camber bolts. Meanwhile, on the other shop (ftw tuning in eugene, or), they recommend me to change the rear LCA, but it costs somewhat expensive (around 300-500 if I recall it correctly).

Unsp0kn Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I'm pretty sure camber bolts will only give you about .5* of adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrxwhit Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I got some off eBay for dirt cheap well under $200. I don't remember the seller, but have had no issues in 3 years. I looked them up for a BRZ to get more options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's the toe in the rear? If the toe is straight the car shouldn't track side to side, even with the uneven camber. If you're on coilovers, see if you're at the same ride height on both sides of the car. The lower you go, the more camber you get. Camber bolts won't do anything in the rear on a 5th gen, there's no place to put them. Whiteline makes an offset bushing for the rear that allows a tiny bit of camber adjustment, but it probably wouldn't be enough adjustment to even out that camber completely.

SJGT Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 That IAG kit is very interesting - I heard some talk in hear regarding the joints and materials used, especially if in the northeast - does this look like it fits the bill there?

fredrik94087 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 When modding the WRX, I had shared, with my installer, an adjustable rear LCA with a "slot" for camber adjustment. He was a bit weary of how it would "lock" into place. He suggested sticking with the used cusco piece which is threaded and locks with a nut on the thread. Has anyone had issues with the slot type going out of alignment?

SJGT Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I did just see that and same thought came to mind - IAG I would imagine is comfortable with the design - but I can picture that being an issue in such a structurally significant piece Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DugsSin Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Whitelines have the same style slotted mounting point. I can understand how the pillow ball joints wouldn't like being subjected to our salted roads but I'm under there to lube the poly swaybar bushings so they wouldn't go without being sprayed with something. Currently thinking the RS-R arms with the bushing style mount might be my best move and they can be found at an OK price. Glad I'm in no hurry.

Talbz Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I purchased an 08 LGT that had some minor upgrades (Exhaust, window tint), but recently realized that the previous owner installed Tein H lowering springs. A few months ago, I noticed my tires making noise even at lower speeds (25mph+) and decided to get an alignment as well as my suspension inspected. No major findings when looking at bushings, but alignment was 'bad'; Before alignment Front: Toe L 1.17 R -1.44 Camber L -1.06 R .26 Caster L 6.34 R 6.66 Rear: Camber L -1.59 R -1.29 Toe L -0.08 R -0.22 After alignment Front: Toe L 0.04 R 0.04 Camber L -0.99 R -0.88 Caster L 6.37 R 6.34 Rear: Camber L -1.62 R -1.42 Toe L 0.01 R 0.00 It was suggested that the lowering springs in conjunction with mis-alignment has caused the inner tread of my tires to become cupped/feathered. To fix this issue, whiteline KTA124 kit was recommended. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgoodhue Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 The front Toe was probably causing most of your tire wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talbz Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I thought the same thing, but I think the tires that are worn the worse are the rears, which were rotated to the front prior to alignment. I do not want to spend $700-$800 on new tires, only for this issue to arise in less than 20K miles. Currently, I have Continental Xtreme Contact DWS tires. Should I not be concerned about the @ -1.5 rear camber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
