SPC Lowering Control Arms '11+ STi/WRX
So.... I am wondering who here locally has installed the SPC LCA and whether they did it themselves or at a shop... I personally dont have the right tools for it and have spoken with Mert over at RBMS and he doesnt either. Does anyone have the tool to help me out with the install Seems that the bushing needs a certin "press" in order to remove the stock one from.
If you can leave any install tips that would be great too

I installed them myself, I think you're referring to the toe bushing? Which I did not install and was not needed in my case. I believe in the instructional video they stated you only need the bushing if you can't get back within O.E alignment specs.

I was just curious as the other arm bushings are a combination of steel and rubber and seriously pissed me off replacing.
The one he's referring to I knocked something up on the mill and lathe for

Here's the install video.
There is a tow bushing. But that can be swapped out off the car. It's also not necessary.
The design of the arms has changed. But the install is the same.
Here's a video going over the changes.

The SPC works great and fixed my camber issues on the rear.. The bushing for the Toe-Link is optional (at least on my setup), 0 toe on the rear on mine. The white stuff is on the cam bolt is lithium grease, I need to wipe it off.
Make sure you get Part #67660 (not the older model). It's equal, if not better (beefy and boxed) than the OEM rear arm but with camber adjustability. Great price too!
