SPC Rear camber arm part #67476
When altering your vehicle ride height, it goes 2 ways. Raising the vehicle causes the suspension/wheels to “tilt” inwards to the vehicle center, but for most of CTR owners, we will lower the suspension height causing the suspension/wheels to tilt outward of the vehicle centerlines.
Doing this causes the majority of the suspension geometry aka “angles” to go out of the OEM specifications. Being blunt you will not get “All” of your suspension angles back into that green zone you normally get when given the alignment print out of before and after with stock suspension arms. This review is only based on correcting the rear camber, one of many angles in your suspension. Camber is the biggest angle that will create uneven tire wear when lowering your CTR.
SPC rear camber arms are made of forged aluminum. Joints are their own xAxis sealed flex joints, according to SPC “a cross between pillow-ball and rubber bushings.” These arms allow for camber adjustment of a +/- 3.00 degrees over OEM arms. Built into the arms are the most important part for the CTR which is the height sensor mount.
I can say that the forged aluminum is beautiful and the quality is near perfect. If you aren’t a fan of the naked aluminum you can go to Eibach and purchase the same set in black as SPC supplies Eibach just rebranded.
Installation is well… Hard. The left Side will be a pain in the ass, upon removal you will find removing the bolt it will contact the gas tank. I will not get into how to install parts no more as many keyboard commandos have privately messaged me saying how to do it correctly.
After installation, alignment is a must to get the vehicle as close as you can to either OEM specifications or your own custom alignment specs. I’ll let you in on a little secret… the CTR alignment numbers are the same as a regular Civic in the same model year. With my contacts at the dealership, I heard it myself when he called Honda’s hotline to get the CTR specs.
The SPC rear camber arms have done what I wanted to get the rear camber to where I wanted, not causing excessive wear on the tires for the left/right rear. In 4 months, I have not had any issue with noise or it holding the rear camber in the set angle. The height sensor mount also allows the ADS to function without giving a malfunction light. Cost on average is $190 per side so $380 to have the rear arms.
