Default Lower Control Arms

Anyone make LCAs for the EP? If so who? And anyone have them?

Thanks. That Mugen piece looks like something along the lines of what I was looking for. So it pushes the bottom of the wheel out about 15mm? Using trig, and based on a 15" wheel, that works out to about 2.25 degrees (if you're pivoting at the top of the wheel) or 4.5degrees (if you're pivoting at the center of the wheel). Anyone know what the real camber angle gain is by using these LCAs? Is this LCA adjustable in any way at all?

I don't see where spc's website has a reference to front (or rear) LCAs for the EP?

It's not a double wishbone design up front (as you know). I don't think it will adjust camber like you think it will.

And no, it is not adjustable. Just a longer and aluminum control arm.

I kinda figured that it wouldn't have the same effect as an LCA on the older inequal length A-arm setup but I'm just trying to lay out all the details that all. Would changing camber using an LCA affect toe as much as changing camber with an upper mount camber plate?

Thanks for the info all.

no, adjusting toe from the crash bolt has almost no effect on toe..I was at -3 on both sides with almost 0 toe

it seems to me that if you are moving the lower knuckle mounting position out, then the lower strut mount position is also going to be moved out adding negative camber...
