Anyone run the A1 rear camber arms? I'd like to keep my car low and fix the camber properly since it is already maxed out.
Anyone run the A1 rear camber arms?

To be honest, I have never heard of them. Can you post a like of something so that I can check them out.
Thanks

i am interested in these too. these are the ones that replace the no. 2 lower suspension arm. the one that goes between the low bushing on the rear knuckle to the diff. it has a cam on the diff end. when i lowered my car i needed a shorter arm to pull in the tire. not enough adjustment there. i had the hole in the arm welded over and redrilled away from the bushing to shorten the arm. I could have gotten these a1 arms for $90 more and have full adjustment if i understand what they are. I need a bushing set too.
blah so much chassy stuff I want. I think my shell is going to have $20,000 in it when I'm done w/ it.
tekdeus: Thanks for the link. I have seen them and just forgot about it.
That is the same thing that I am building myself. You are going to need the toe rods also most likely. One problem with the rear suspension design on our cars is that you cant adjust one (camber or toe) with out affecting the other. When you lower the car, you push the camber negitive and the toe out. Now as you bring the camber back in, you actually cause more toe out and you run out of adjustment for the toe pretty quick.

How much camber are yall trying to run? I can get up to -2.1 deg. with OEM toe and ~-1.1 on the other end of the spectrum. Are you looking for close to zero rear camber? How do these mount to the subframe end, there is no bushing in the pic, I'm assuming the spherical end is to subframe and the other end to the pivot bushing? The #2 arm has a ball joint/tie rod end, not the end as pictured.
If you lengthen the Lower Transverse Arm 15mm it will put the stock adjuster back in the middle of it's adjustment range when lowered.
I bought 2 extra arms then cut the stock ones on an angle in the bandsaw and cut the spares +15mm then welded them back together.
