Just wondering if anyone installed these CTR FK8 rear control arms together with the rear adjustable camber arms? Would like to get feedback and if there’s added function other than making the arm stiffer :) Many thanks!

Happy early 4th of July. I’m in the process of installing it right now. There isn’t any adjustability but the arms are beefy AF! Just did the passenger side and the install isn’t so bad. I just wish they included torque specs for the bolt that attaches to rear hub. I set mine to 64lvs and it seemed it was too much. Changed it to 54lbs and it felt better.

I’ve had the part for about 2 months but haven’t gotten a chance to install it. The part is well made with nice material and feel. I have had several other eibach parts and never had issues with them.

Looks beefy and well-made, but odd that it's not adjustable. I've got the Whiteline ones on our Si, and the adjustability was key to me

Is the adjustability for toe, camber etc alignment settings? I see you have the SPC rear lower camber arm which is to adjust rear camber. I’m curious to why Eibach made it beefy yet fixed and not adjustable also. Thanks!

Correct, both Toe and Camber can be adjusted with Whiteline's offering. Yes, SPC Camber arms I do have as well for Camber adjustment - if I didn't have those then the Rear Toe Arms wouldn't be able to impact Camber as much since the factory camber arms would max out.

No clue why Eibach's aren't adjustable to be honest

Do you feel any actual benefits with these?
