WRX / FR-S / BRZ / GR86 APEXi EXV Rear Lower Control Arm (Pillow Ball)

A'PEXi N1 EXV suspension components are designed to offer more adjustability and better performance than their factory counterparts, with advantages in precision, rigidity, strength, articulation, and geometry correction. Whether you are replacing worn suspension parts, dialing in alignment on a street build, or building a dedicated competition car, the EXV lineup is made to keep your setup precise and predictable.

The A'PEXi EXV Rear Lower Control Arm functions as a rear lower control arm / camber arm and uses pillow-ball (spherical bearing) joints for maximum suspension accuracy and response. This makes it the ideal choice for track-inspired builds and drivers who prioritize alignment precision and handling feedback above comfort.

Key Features

  • Expanded Adjustability: Greater alignment adjustment range than stock components.
  • Pillow-Ball Equipped: Spherical bearings provide precise movement with reduced compliance.
  • Improved Suspension Precision: Helps maintain alignment settings more accurately under load.
  • Better Feedback & Response: Faster, more direct suspension articulation for improved handling feel.
  • Built for Performance Use: Ideal for motorsport, track day, and aggressive street applications.

Pillow-Ball vs. Rubber Bushing

Pillow-ball (spherical bearing) arms are intended for applications where precision movement is the top priority. They are best suited for competition builds and track-focused cars that need increased suspension articulation and more accurate alignment control.

Compared to hardened rubber bushings, pillow-ball joints provide a more direct response and faster articulation, but with increased NVH. For drivers who want maximum precision and sharper feedback, pillow-ball is the better choice.

Why We Like It

This is the right arm for drivers who actually use their suspension. If you are lowered, tracking the car, or just want to keep your alignment where you set it, the EXV rear lower arm gives you the control and feedback the stock arm can’t match.
