F1 Fabrications Camber/ Control Arms
I am contemplating a drop. I am considering H&R springs and an F1 Fabrications camber kit. I have read of some folks experiencing problems with the popular camber-adjustable bushings setup so I an weary of going that route. F1 is a control arm setup.
I lowered my previous cars and always installed a control arm camber kit along with the lowering coils. Better to do the whole thing right in my opinion. I reason that saving money on not getting a camber kit isn't worth the money you lose replacing our expensive tires more often.
With that said, have any of you used F1 camber kits on their AMG? Feedback on them?

i have read that we would want to ask them to use OEM bushing as they are quieter and F1 would oblige that request

I have the rears but have not installed them because I'm lowered and running wider rear tires . If I were to adjust them out the wider tires would cause rubbing on the wheel opening over bumps . If I wasn't lowered it would work fine but my clearances are too tight so they sit in my garage for now
The front are something new they've come up with ...interesting . They might be better than switching to the Kmac bushings and alot easier to install

I have read on the forums that there have been some who have experienced issues with aftermarket bushings slipping out of its proper alignment when using that solution. Control arms won’t have that issue.
I have used aftermarket control arms on previous cars with great success. Some aftermarket control arms are better quality than others however as there have been instances where lesser quality arms have snapped under heavy load. So I’m gathering as much feedback as possible on the F1 arms before considering purchasing.

Is it just the front we need to worry about when it comes to camber adjustment after lowering? What's the length of install with this kit? I want to order springs but trying to did out the best way to go about it and now eat through my brand new ps4s tires.
