Cool video man, I have been waiting so see someone install these. I have had had my eye on a set of these in anticipation of the HKS coilovers coming out for the VB. Just subscribed.
With less camber in the rear it effectively gives you more tire patch to ride on. With the larger tire patch it gives you more compliance and spring out of the tire. I.E. better ride.
You’re missing the silver slot holders for the suspension on the control arm. There are 2 tabs per side that go on the front and back to align the bolts.
Not too sure if you have them because of the cuts in the video, but where your coilover bolts into the cusco arm (you called them slots) there typically should be a metal piece inserts which ensures the coilover bolt stays in one place and does not slide. These metal pieces look almost like the things you pop open soda cans with. They come with the LCA's. Good luck and hope that helps
... umm, if not crucial, why would Cusco include them with the arms (yours were missing or you overlooked them when unvoxing)?? In your case, I would contact the Vendor or try to source those parts to ensure the lower bolts don't move...
The thing about having like a metal front splitter is you risk ripping off your bumper instead of just scraping as you would do with a front lip. I’d rather replace a lip than an entire bumper. Just a thought & cheers from Australia.
you should tighten those control arm bolts when your car on the ground at neutral position not when they are at fully extended position. Those bushings are twisted at 9:10.
it's not necessarily the STi Subaru doesn't want you to have, but more like the STi you can build with the parts you want at a pace conformable to you. And you're not hamstrung by mediocre, overpriced STI branded components from Subaru...
Control arms in general are a pivot point for your suspension, upgraded control arms, either replace soft rubber bushings with harder polyurethane bushings, or sphericals to eliminate slop. They also provide adjustment for camber where there previously wasnt any or very little.
Do you know anywhere to get the bushing ends at. I been trying to find some. I want to replace that whole end on the inside were you extend or shorten the control arm
I don't know what's up with Cusco in the past like couple years but they're construction of their components are terrible The welds look like they've been done by a 12-year-old. You didn't load the control arms before tightening the bolts.
Thanks for calling it out! They were loosened and retightened during the allignment. You're right, I've seen better welds. I'm sure it may have something to do with their supplier/QC
It must be nice to have unlimited funds to do all of this stuff. I really thought this car was gonna be more fun to drive but in its stock form it’s super boring. Big mistake trading my 21 Mustang GT for this. I mean hell a stock EcoBoost would be more fun to drive than the WRX.
That would be super nice. Unfortunately I am not one of those people and have had to learn how to install my own parts to save on labor! Sorry to hear you regret your purchase. The WRX is far more composed and safe, this also takes from the perceived "Fun factor" Might I suggest you take the WRX up into the snow or onto some fire roads? You will be able to do far more than any of the vehicles you mentioned there!
@@erdinczor1 once again, I don’t have it like that where I have unlimited funds to tune a car. Not only that but you lose your warranty once you change anything in the computer. If something happens to the engine and it blows you’re on the hook for it not Subaru. Car manufacturers will do anything to weasel their way out of a warranty claim.

!!! Thanks so much! You inspired me to do my speakers!
Any idea when HKS coils will be releasing?

What’s up homey! I didn’t know you had a channel. I found this vid while researching control arms. Subscribed!
Good to hear from you! Lets go racing soon!
One simply does not change color of Cusco to match car, you change car to match Cusco 😂
Are those KW from the previous gen WRX? I haven’t seen any drop on their website specifically for the VB chassis.
Great well edited video! I appreciate the content and learning about about the VB. Cant wait to someday add these to my car!
Hey thank you so much I really do appreciate it!

Hey excited for the paintmatching videos

Definiteley missing them. It's not critical, but sure would have helped aligning the coilovers evenly.

Panda 🐼 Gang ✌🏽
i like the extension alignment trick. 👍
Thanks! Little tricks you learn from working in the industry!
@@Hapawerks How do you know how much to adjust them?
@@Nonx47 the explanation is in the video!
Talked to a vette guy who joked about putting a skateboard under the front diffuser to help go over bumps. Skate fast
you should tighten those control arm bolts when your car on the ground at neutral position not when they are at fully extended position. Those bushings are twisted at 9:10.
I constantly change and reallign things on this car so it was loosened and retightened on a rack where I can get to it easier.
So jealous of your coils and your brakes
🤤🤤
They're still for sale as of now!
Definitely want to know how to paint them
Did you paint the rear bumper, wrap it or buy and aftermarket cover? I want the same look for mine but can’t seem to find any information
Cool video. Is this control arms heavier than OEM ones?
Yes, much more material! But they are stronger, and we may be talking about 1-2lbs of difference.
How much did you pay to get rear bumper painted?picked up my ceramic white 23 vb couple weeks ago, Looking good my friend :)
The rear bumper cost me about $400 with the homie discount.
Awesome content 🔥🔥🔥👌
Thank you so much! I hope you follow along with all the new content!
Only need LCA's if you're going real low. Plus, it's hard on your axles when making big power. Like they snap.
I'm looking at these, sooooo, thank you for leading youngman 🤌😊👍

That diffuser is awesome what is it and where is it from?
two places...either Verus Racing or Aeroflow Dynamics....
AFD! Nailed it!
How did you manage KW Coilovers, I do not see them available for the VB. thanks
I was a part of the development for these, I believe they are working on releasing them soon!
😁@@Hapawerks
Whats the purpose of rear control arms?
Control arms in general are a pivot point for your suspension, upgraded control arms, either replace soft rubber bushings with harder polyurethane bushings, or sphericals to eliminate slop. They also provide adjustment for camber where there previously wasnt any or very little.
Even just lowering it on springs makes it -2.5 I’m thinking of doing this with a different brand adj rear control arm
Nice
Hey man which tailight tints is that, i find mine are a little matt id prefer a better gloss black like yours
This was done at a professional tint shop!
Do you know anywhere to get the bushing ends at. I been trying to find some. I want to replace that whole end on the inside were you extend or shorten the control arm
I would think Cusco is a great place to start, next I would measure it and see if McMaster Carr has a replacement.
I’m wishing I could get some of those KW coil overs but when I contact the company they said they had no plans for such.
Give it a couple of weeks! As you can see it's definitely in the works, sorry you were given the wrong information!
If I'm going to spend a good chunk on coils kw might be the one to wait for
What’s the benefit of these ones over stock
Adustability, eliminating a rubber bushing, and overall stronger construction. Did you watch the video? :D
Yo the big wing spoilers on wrx are stupid AF!
Alright then!
Hi , Kindly advise the part number. Tks
The link is in the description! Thanks for watching!
I need the details on the V3’s…!!!!!
Stay tuned on kwautomotive.com!

To be fair, most people don't buy WRX or STI and keep them stock
