Global West Upper Control Arms Finally ON Installed Global West Upper control arms this weekend. My car was camber challenged and I needed a little more negative camber for auto x.
With lowering springs and the stock setup, settings maxed out, I was only able to get negative 0.9, decent for street but it left wanting a little more on the hair pins. with -0.9 i was still understeering with the toyo r888s.
The install was very straight forward...take out the shock and spring combo and just unbolt and re assemble.
When i took it for a test drive it was awesome! Even on street tires. Thats because i was at negative 2.1 on both sides. The only downside, is you cant go back to stock alignment specs, should you need to......I think the guy told me I could probably get to -1.3 or so.....so oh well. I still have the stockers if anything...just in case.
It felt really good but I didnt want to run that much - camber on the street. I took it to the alignment shop and had them dial it in to negative 1.6. Good compromise and it still feels nice.
I'm sure negative 2 works but not ready for that much just yet. At least I know I have more should I need or want more.
I'll post a quick pic later on....
