Rear camber arm install?
How can I remove this bolt to remove the stock camber arm? I'm trying to install my new adjustable camber arms. I can't fit any tools back there it's such a tight squeeze!

I removed my air springs, If I remember correctly just unplug the air hose that goes to the spring compress and remove

Did you also install front camber kit as well?

Thanks brother, I'll give this a shot. Since you changed to aftermarket air ride you don't need the link sensors to be connected to your Megan Racing camber arms right?

BTW to both of yall since not alot of people llike stance. K-mac would only net you like 1-1.5 degrees more. Switch to coil overs up front with plates and keep the rear air if you want or just switch both front and rear to coilovers. You would need star tuning if you dont like a fault light but, I just removed the fuse for the air and kept the fault message there, doesnt bother me. If you do go coilovers I have the part number for the rear LCA you would need to get.

Your ingenuity inspires me! Fortunately my LYKT rear camber arms have holes drilled for the sensors already, I just hope I can get approx -7 degrees out of them. If not I'll be selling them and doing what you did LOL. You got PM btw

Im using megan arms right now, you should be able to atleast get -6 aired out if your using stock suspension and around -8 if you go bags, what you can do is take a few of the locking nuts on the camber arms out, if its the same design as mine you have 2 nuts just take one out

Yup I know exactly what your talking about. Mine aren't like yours but I'll still be removing the nuts to get more negative camber. Here's what mine look like...

It seems like a long shot but I'm hoping to fit 12.5" or 13" wheels in the back

The camber arms are made by LYKT. Google "LYKT w212 rear camber arms" and their website will come up. I still haven't installed them :/, I'm slacking. The holes in the camber arms are for the plate that connects my Airmatic links.

Just saw this post. I still have the boring Forgestars, and haven't even really been fidgeting with the car much. Just got a lot going on right now, but I still got some plans for it.

Not yet. I plan to install the camber arms some time this year though . I'm gonna max out the arms and get as much neg camber as possible with them. What did you do to your setup to get an additional -3 deg???

I'm going through with the install but am worried with removing the airline from the air spring. I don't want to pull too hard and break anything! Any have ideas?

I used some pliers to loosen the compression fitting. I was able to get the top of the bag down.

That looks like at least -4 or higher camber. Now you can fit some crazy aggressive wheels.
