K-MAC Rear Adjustable Bushings
I finally have the rear adjustable camber & toe bushings in the rear of our BS. Only 2 bushings needed for each rear corner of the car to be able to adjust rear camber (4 total).
I just did another alignment today and currently have about -1.75/-1.80 rear camber dialed in, but you could dial these way up to around -2.7 if you wanted to. Our car had around -0.50 rear camber when stock.
This will not fix the rear-end wander when under full throttle, so you will still need the other bushing upgrade. I just installed the Weistec delrin bushings in our car to get ready for the SEMA show and OUSCI race in Las Vegas, but we will be collaborating with K-Mac on making/testing a rear Poly bushing kit.
Changing rear camber has a drastic effect on rear toe, you pretty much have to change both at the same time, it is that sensitive on the alignment machine.
The gold colored tool that comes with these K-Mac bushings works great on replacing all of the other bushings as well!
