The only reason you might need adjustable camber is if you lowered your car... lowering accentuates the camber and can cause excessive wear on the inside of your tires...

When I lowered mine my camber went to about -2.5 degrees..... I had them aligned to -0.9...:D

Too bad we cant do this with the front....:(

Count me in. I just replaced tires on our lowered SRT and could not believe the wear pattern.

I would disagree - there are other reasons for purchasing these. You may want to run a more aggressive alignment on a road course without chewing up your tires on a daily basis. Or the opposite if you are a drag strip guy you may want to run less camber when on the drag strip but then got back to a stock stetting for handling and stability.

Plenty of reasons to purchase these arms. :)

Yes, but he did say for street use......;) and I like your thinking....:D

So how much are these and how soon will they be available? I have my springs in hand and am ready to lower my car.

Thanks, Mike.

I am interested as well, what price range are we talking about?

Re: Adjustable rear camber arms feeler...
 
Guys, I am making these on order with the low volume and short turn time.. waiting for rod ends is the longest time and that is only 4-5 days.

Price is $225.00 + $14.50 shipping....

Not the cheapest out there, but comparable. They are well done and solid.

I have recieved my set of camber arms and am absolutely impressed.

They are the highest quality and I can not wait to put them on, unfortunately, life has been getting in the way, hopefully within the next few weeks, but who knows....

Thanks again, Mike, I would gladly buy any product you offer for purchase after seeing the quality here. I also have a few friends that are interested in custom length ones for their lowering applications, any interest in doing some 'custom' work? ;)

John,
no problem doing different lengths.... all I need is the specs they want...;)

I had Mike's arms installed at the dealership and the tech was able to bring my Eibach lowered rear into spec. He mentioned there is a factory kit for the front arms that is very inexpensive. Since my camber is still out of spec on the front by half a degree, I'm considering taking the plunge.

Has anybody ever heard of or used such a factory kit?

Also, because the aftermarket arms are straight and the factory rear arms curve around the sway bar, I now have less than 1" clearance from arm to bar. Not a showstopper but definitely something to be aware of when considering this mod, especially on a lowered car.

Mike, just an idea. Why can't the adjustable arms have an arch to them? I realize you would have to at least remove one end to make an adjustment. But once you locked the arm back in the arched position, with both lock nuts, it shouldn't be a problem. Just curious.

James

PS, Maybe I mean more of just a slight bend in the rod, enough to give more clearance.

This is well know to those that have been here awhile and have paid attention. It's not an issue on the street. If you race ie push the car to the extreme limits you will have contact between the straight camber arms and the sway bar with Eibach's and Dot 1 pads. I know because I had Eibachs, track my car, and had the problem. My solution was to lift the rear with Dot 3 spring pads.

Hey Les, If you were paying better attention, you would have noticed the first word in my post was "Mike", not Les.

When Mike was gauging interest for this part your suggestion was made to him. But OK, I won't butt into you PM's.

Re: Adjustable rear camber arms feeler...
 
Sorry to dig up the old post ( miss you Mike! :( ) Car is in the shop and they are failing me on the inspection because the camber arm is loose. I have not seen it yet but I assume it is just the end if it is loose. This is hard to believe though as these are built rediculous strong. Looking through old threads it looks like the end is a QA1 XM10 5/8"

Does anyone know if this is not correct or a good place to order from? I'll have the 15 day rejection period to get one in and swapped, will prob just pick up a left and right thread to make sure I'm covered. Thanks guys!

Re: Adjustable rear camber arms feeler...
 
I can't think of what you mean by the end is loose???? If it is the bolt to nut through the eye, then just tighten it up??? If it is thread to rod then the same thing? or am I missing something...
