Interest In Custom Rear Control Arms

That 100% will not fit your car unless you send it to the body shop for a widebody kit. You'll have more than enough inner clearance, for both front and rear. I ran 18x10.5 +26 square, and in the front I probably had 3/8" of space between the barrel and the spindle. Luckily, that clearance never changes. In the rear though, I threw on a 5mm spacer, because I kept scraping the barrel on the coilovers.

Our cars can fit decent wheels pecs with some fender work, but unless you're planning on doing a custom widebody, 18x11 +7 will not fit. That setup sticks out one inch past what I had, and mine was poking out past the fenders, which were pulled to high heaven. My fenders are probably 3/4" to a full inch wider than stock.

I know they wont fit with about -4 camber, that's why I was shooting for -8. I'm pretty sure I could run a 18x10 +7 square with around -6, though. I'm not really worried about the poke aspect of it, but I'm not too sure about the back clearances.

It will just be more trouble than it's worth for you, take my word for it. A full inch is a lot, and at that point you will see excessive camber wear on your tires. To put this into perspective, I had my car aligned by a very reputable shop, had my rear camber set to -4.3°, and my tires lasted six weeks. Literally there were chunks of rubber that were falling off of my tires from everyday driving. -8° or more is just asking for trouble, not to mention your car is going to drive horribly. It was hard to keep my car driving straight with that much camber in the back.

Alright thanks. We will see though. I'm at -4 camber right now naturally and I don't have any of those problems. Car drives straight as an arrow.

The rear of my car was fishtailing like crazy. It was quite scary at times actually.

I didn't know that camber could cause that. Thought it would be from toe or caster, but not camber. I know the contact patch is smaller, but it shouldn't really pull from side to side. Just what I thought, may be wrong.

 

[Sleeper Cell]

Honestly I would have never suspected it either, but my toe was within check.

That's wierd. I have -6 in the back and my tires are fine. Been driving like that for about 4-5 months.

i was -4f -5.3 rear, had my achillies for 6 months and when i sold them they still had a lot of tread left. the fronts wore from when i was on type 1s, smacking the wheel well

Alright gents, with each passing day, we draw closer to the time of the best control arms you'll find for a 6th gen. Literally just got word about 10 minutes ago that production is under way. We're gonna try and get a sample shipped over for test fitment purposes, photos and whatnot. There's going to be intro pricing on the first 25 sets, so be prepared to put your money where your mouth is in order to reserve yours.

More details as they come.
