Lensolo has 5 unpaid for kits available. I bot mine from him and am awaiting delivery. He apparently has a good reputation here on the forum and the arms seem to be overbuilt and very solid. I do not know of the Benzboy arms. Speedybenz also offers them but it is difficult to reach him. Good luck.

his arms are the BEST! if you look at them you will see that he puts a hex (i believe thats what its called) to make adjusting easier!

^same, $225 shipped for a set.

I'm thinking they can knock the price down if we find a few more people willing to order.

I never said there was any deal to be had , but if a group buy can be arranged through benzboy, Len may be willing to work with you as well. Even if there is no discount, others in this thread have stated that Len’s camber arms are clearly superior and may be worth the extra money, but that’s your decision, not mine. He currently has three spots left before the order goes to production and has said that production would be 2 weeks. That doesn’t seem too long to wait, but that’s also your call.

I emailed benzboy and he said no drilling, and all hardware is included with instructions.

We already have 3 sets for the $215 shipped price...

1. sfclk
2. OGCLK320
3. xxmurrtownogxx@aol.com

...if you're interested please add your member name and email address to the list. I'm looking to reply back to benzboy with more than 3 to possible get the price lower than $200+ shipping for a set.

J56BP, interested in a set?

Folks, can you please clarify at what point I need camber arms – if I lower my ride or if I add spacers or all of the above?

benzboy arms

I purchased and installed my Benzboy arms about 5 months ago. A small amount of drilling is required! The person selling them says you don't need to drill, you just need to chase the hole with the new bolts........Well it doesn't work! You need to have an angle drill, or a small die grinder to open up the hole for the new size bolts. He uses standard size bolts in a metric hole. The amount of material you need to remove is minimal, but is still too thick to just run a larger bolt through. I was able to reach a round file through the hole, but it took a long time to file it down since the working area is so cramped. The product he is selling is of good quality, and works great. Just make sure you have all the right tools ready before you remove your factory camber arms. The working area is very cramped. The alignment guy said the rear camberadjusted perfectly. Hope this info helps.

I'd be interested too, IF these are required to properly align a lowered clk cab? can some one please advise? Thanks.

I'm about to purchase a spring/strut combo and want to be sure I'm all straight once dropped.. likely will run 18's or 19's...

PS: will have a set of 20" Auto Couture Magnifiques for sale shortly in the classifieds..
