You don’t even need the hardrace lower ball joints. Lower your car, remove the oem alignment pin on the top shock area and it has plenty of adjustment to get you back to -.9. Won’t even need them

I didn't take any photos but if you take the wheel off and look you'll see where its at. Front suspension does suck on this car though vs anything else I've ever worked on.

So can I adjust them after they are installed? or do I have to uninstall them to make adjustments?

it’s a process to adjust them so you’ll want to choose your setting or have a lot of work to do.

So how am I supposed to know what setting to choose ahead of time? I wont know how much camber I need until I get it aligned. How did you go about this?

I luckily asked a friend who installed them already. If you remove the oem guide pins and choose setting B you’ll end up around -3. So if you remove the OEM guide pins and choose A I assume around -2. If you don’t remove the guide pins it should be about -2.5 for B and -1.5 for A.

Using setting C would give you all the camber hah

How much will dropping down .9" on to Eibach Sport Lines affect my camber? Trying to guage what setting to choose ahead of time. I just want to keep my tires wearing tread evenly. Maybe later Ill add more camber when I put different wheels on her...

You are in luck lol! Before installing my ball joints I was just lowered on Eibach sport lines with the guide pins removed. I was -1.7 front like that. Rear I added camber arms right away and went to -2 so I am not sure what the rears would be without a camber arm.

Anybody knows the torque specs on the bolts that are supposedly never to be removed?

Noobie question guys. I just lowered my ce the right hand front wheel camber was out of spec. or maybe too much camber as manufacturer recommended numbers. Will this product fix the issue? I don't track my car and I just want the camber numbers to be close to the factory settings. I have already placed an order for the rear camber arms and I just want some insights before I jump into this product. By the way, I am still running on a stock wheels. Still waiting for my Rays wheels to arrive 18x9.5 +38 spec.

Thank you in advance!

Looking for some help putting everything back together. Just wondering if you have any tips to putting the ball joint back into the LCA. If you installed/remember anything, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Is -3.5 to -3.7 too much for a daily even with toe zeroed out? I know toe kills tires, but I'd imagine that much negative camber can start to affect wear even with 0 toe.

What is a good rear camber number to aim for when pushing ~/+ -3 up front? I understand that rear camber arms will be probably be needed.

Meh, I have close to -4.0 on my BRZ and while it is not a full daily, it does gets driven quite a lot on the street. I would not worry about it.
