Pics of Speedybnz Adjustable Camber Arms

I have just installed the speedybnz camber arms. I had Jeff overnight them to me. I got them just in time for my long trip. Very good quality stuff. The reason I needed them was my tires were wearing out on the inners after lowing the car. As you may already know, these cars do not have adjustable camber arms. I changed to a H&R cupkit. Those that have lowered may have also noticed the rear wheels have a negative camber. /---\ The adjustable arms makes the wheels vertical. |---|

But remember you're so dumped that if you went back to positive you'll increase chances of the tire rubbing the fender. If you really want camber ARMS, hell take mine, but I want your stock dogbones for use with K-MACs!

that is EXACTLY what I am fearing for when getting adjusteable camber arms...but then again...wearing out 1 set of new 245/35-18 (rear)tires in 8000km (5000 miles) sucks as well

greetingz,

greetingz,
Having the car re-aligned when you change your coilover settings is a small price to pay compared to buying new tires...assuming you only change a couple of times each year (summer/winter, perhaps?).

Steve,

I have my car fully loaded right now with the camber bars in place. No rubbing. Several hundred pounds of stuff, 3 passangers, 2000 miles. I am done with 1400 miles of the trip and the tires look as good as I left with. I will be putting the AMG style III wheels when I get to detroit. I will let you know if I rub or if I have any issues at all. Being adjustable, I can still have a slight negative camber to avoid any rubbing if that arises. Still better than the massive negative camber from our drop.

I think if keep the camber to -.5 to -1 degree or so after adjustment you will not have rubbing problems. From what I understand there is around 80 sets of camber armed cars that do not seem to have any issues.
