What is the rest of your set up? Lift kit?

What are you trying to achieve?

A well aligned Brumby actually drive pretty well - certainly better than my L ever did!

lowered in the rear end, choppies in the front,
to achieve.. i hate the ugly camber and really love cars with negative camber, and trying to achieve the drift look on the brumby, cheers

Can only think of the Crossbreed kit.

Sorry, have spent my life lifting Subies, not lowering them!

crossbreed kit is how much...

and i was hoping there was a strut that could bolt in the brumby then i get ULTRA LOW KING SPRINGS and have straight wheeeels

no camber. maybe a lil negative.

another way to get negative camber in a brumby is using L series lower arms

thats what i want to hereeee TOONGA

to clarify, what is a L series ?????

Post by **TOONGA** » Tue May 03, 2011 7:50 pm

the L series is the model between the MY model and the liberty, more often than not it is the chosen model that is lifted and then has an EJ motor put in it.

the L has longer control arms and with very little modifying can be put into an MY model

Installing the L lower control arms will give you the negative camber you want but comes with other issues that you may or may not like. The front track will be a bit wider than the back and the front wheels will be pushed a bit further forward into the wheel well..looks a bit odd from side on. If you do a search on the forum there has been plenty written up about it. I ventured this way myself but went back to the brumby setup after encountering the issues I mentioned plus problems trying to mount L brakes on brumby hubs etc etc .....

Have you got posotive camber on both sides? I have lowered a couple of brumbys before and their can be a problem.

when you say track, do you mean you look at it from behind and the fronts will be out wider then the back ?? and the wheels would be toward the front of the wheel arches more then the middle ?? i should be okay with that

and yes i got postitive camber both sides...

Yes, the front wheels will be out wider than the back, not a lot but ...
