Exclamation SPC adjustable ball joint

I've been told that there are some clearance issue with these with lowered 3G TL's. For those of you that have this on their lowered 4G, any clearance issues?

If the SPC's are similar to the Ingalls, then you shouldn't have any clearance issues. I've got the Ingalls joints on all 4 corners, and the car is as low as the Tein's will allow.

Ive got the SPC ball joints and camber kit for all fours and Ive had no issues at all. My shop never mentioned anything about clearance issues so I think your fine.

Am lowered and maxed out on the TEIN coils and there's no clearance issues. I have even adjust my camber to see the max negative i can get and at max which was -5 there was still no clearance issues.
I've had both the SPC and Ingalls ball joint and they are just about the same. The only difference i experienced was the SPC piece that is pressed into the upper control arm does have a larger hole opening compare to the Ingalls.

We haven't seen any issues with the 4G nor the 3G TL with the adjustable ball joints. We've had some 2G TL's that are slammed and the top of the nut that holds the ball joint can touch the strut tower.

If you need these parts let me know. We have both INGALLS and SPC in stock.

^ What you'll have to do is get the front and rear BBK measurements and give that to whatever company (Ron Jon, Work, DPE etc.) you're getting your wheels from and they should be able to let you know what wheels will and will not clear the BBK. If you go the custom wheel route they can build you some wheels that will clear the BBK you'll just need to send that wheel company the BBK measurements and Rotora have those measurements for their BBK's. Also, If you get the BBK setup that i have...i have those measurements if you need it.

I ordered the BBK for my car with the HPT 19s but I also have 20mm spacer adapter for front and 25mm spacer adapter for the rear.

FYAH tested the clearance with his stock 18s with a 20mm spacer adapter on front and rear and they cleared so I should be fine. The BBK would look amazing on your car!!
