^^^ Ditto. Randy (BIC) has a way of notching the camber pivots to get more adjustment out of the stock arms, and I opted to do that.

is there a write up on how to do this?

I think I knocked off about 1 degree of camber with these arms. It has been a while though so I am not 100% sure.

Interesting.

Boris- I've seen several people's reviews stating that there was "too much thread" sticking out on the Heim joints, too much for comfort. I know you can get them to tuck further in by adjusting the eccentric bolts, but I just wanted to hear your first hand experience with that as well.

I'm neck deep in the subframe restoration. As seen here:


And I would really like to just get this stuff done first time, rather than re-installing old stuff that's prepped and painted with new bushings, only to upgrade later. I want it all to be done now.

I guess they are out kinda far.. but I have tracked my car many times with the arms with no problems. The only problem I ran in to was the bolt actually rotating so my alignment gets messed up.. but that is my fault for not tightening the bolt enough. Overall I am happy.

I need to know if you can repair the cambert metal tabs because they keep bending trying to adjust the camber and it doesn't work.

I think i need to get the a1 arms but i just wanted to know if there was anyway around it.

You don't notice any unusual wear from using an open Heim joint? I assume you DD your car...

My concern is that grit will get in the joint, causing premature failure. :(
