jeffs camber kits are awesome!!! I have them on my C32, had them for 1/2 a year now and still running strong... no noise, no squeaks, no harsh ride, just great camber!!

A day late
Trekman, you are about a day late, I sent a brand new set to a guy in Houston yesterday, (he did buy them a little earlier, while several others were talking/thinking about it). You need to watch the classifieds here. Let's just say they were way below the normal cost. The people that have them know SpeedyBenz are 100% fine, grade AA.

when you lower a car the wheels will tend to look like this: / \ when viewed from the back or the front. this is all dependant on what the suspension setup of the car is and what not. a camber kit will take it back to factory specs.
the more you lower a car, the more camber you will get.

My camber went from -3 to -1.2 after adjusting it... how do i know, because I was working on teh car too!!!

Jeff (speedybnz) does a great job with those adjustable camber arms.
Does anyone know how Speedybnz's adjustable camber arms work in conjunction with the RENNTech rear subframe modification?

Maybe a smaller offset number produces a little more negative camber, but -3 degrees is crazy. How do you get this number stock? BTW, -1.70 gives me even tire wear and good handling in the rear with aggressive driving.

Yes, they replace the same link and go about camber correction differently, utilizing an adjustable bushing for camber tuning. The other two arms deflect a bit under hard load, including the arm in question, effecting camber, caster and toe during cornering. I am not interested in this mod for tire wear concerns, but only handling.
I am interested in knowing if anyone has done these two mods together. There may be a fitment problem that would prohibit the use of the adjustable arm with the RENNTech kit.
