Hardrace Adjustable Lower Control Arms

The BRZ does not come with any sort of rear camber adjustment from factory, and to make matters worse there was about half-a-degree difference in camber between the left and right side. So to correct this imbalance and give me some adjustability I decided to get some adjustable Hardrace lower control arms. Huge thanks to Dez to help sourcing these!

Excellent condition, never been tracked etc.

Camber adjustment! 

Stock lower control arm. No camber adjustment.

OEM(top) vs Hardrace (bottom). The kid before me must have been running proper tintly wheels based off the length!

More OEM vs Hardrace. Noting how they reinforced the arm in both cases.

Eyeballing the length to get them somewhat the same length before getting a proper alignment.

Fits like a glove.

Lowering it down before torquing it up. Couldn't torque the nut behind the wheel properly anyway

OEM arm bushes look to be in pretty good condition

Fitted and driven to Raceline for an alignment first thing Saturday morning!

GTR for sale at Raceline for 85 big ones!

Note to self: Remove race stickers and wash car straight after track days...


Before the alignment. My eyeball rear camber wasn't too far off!

Spoke to Ray heaps about Shockworks coilovers and these are some 6kg springs just lying around. These will go perfectly with a set of Shockworks with the 5kg rears....

Undercarriage shot with the arms installed. Colour matched the hoist!

Final alignment. Somehow found some extra camber in the front? Maybe wear and tear? But more importantly it is now even 1.5 degs in the rear now!
