eclectic assortment of cars
The camber arm is the one in the middle, upper side of the hub assembly. In your photo, it's the arm on second from the bottom. In the photo I posted in this link, it is item -4:

Heh...I see from your photo that you and I have the same digital HD PVR...
Or at least it looks like it. I thought my HD PVR was the best invention ever, but then I got my iPhone.

are you going to molest the new LCA?
are you going to chisel out the new bushings on dose Febi arms and put the new K-mac's instead?
you'll have a brand new suspension when you're finally done

The suspension has not been touched by the previous owners and has taken a beating from the LOW profile tires I have wrapped around my 19" rims. After I finish the suspension and then exhaust I am going to down size to some 18" rims.P.S the only rust I have are the tiny rust bubbles around the sunroof, we don't salt our roads here as we never get snow

503, you must have the most understanding significant other ever or be single. You are just raining part orders 
I'm looking forward to hearing how she feels when you get everything done.

I decided to go to a shop to have everything installed as it would take me at least 1-2 weeks to install everything plus I don't have all of the right tools not to mention I am the "I want it now" kinda guy. I am awaiting their quote, I should have it by early next week. The shop I am taking my C43 to is a kleemann dealer/installer and I have already talked with them about the kleemann headers so if the suspension install isn't too ridiculous I should be able to get the headers installed as well, I HOPE!!!

Lol, I am married but my wife understands how much I love cars, I had 5 cars and we made a deal that I could spend 1/2 my tax return on whatever I wanted if I got rid of 2 of the 5 cars.... Now I have 3 cars and 1/2 my tax return to spend on whatever I want, so I figured I would put the $$$$ to good use
