Looks like ill need to get some adjustable camber arms now that my car is lowered. Any opinions on the top speed adjustable arms? Saw them on eBay for $237 shipped

they came in at under $90 shipped and are solid... had them on for a few months now and no complaints, shop was able to get the camber to within spec

I read one post where a member used these speed racing arms years ago, but he didnt have any follow up comment as to the longetivity and his satisfaction. He did mention that it brought his camber back to spec.

I was also looking at the possibility of changing the lca, but couldn't find a set. Looks like one of the "500E" board had a group buy on this a few years ago, but again no comments on the lca after they got the lca.

Kmac set was tempting, but I wanted to go a simpler route.

I went ahead and bought the speed racing arms $237 shipped. I'lL post pics and comments when it's installed. I got these because they went that extra step to install some type of rubber bushing to block dust and dirt. According to the listing, this should help with preventing squeeking.

the arms that use heim joints are the ones that get squeaky. the diy ones through speedway use urethane bushings so they can't get squeaky (similar to the OEM arms in concept except for the adjustability part).

I am fairly sure (not 100% though) that the top speed arms use heim, BUT they have that rubber boot so that should hopefully eliminate any chance of them starting to squeak. i've seen up-close pics on another forum and they look like high quality pieces so i think you made a good choice!

Here are the arms

A closer look at the ends

Now let's look at it apart. Overall feels tough, heavy, and well built. Installing on Monday then ill get it re-aligned.

I am trying to do the DIY for my Crossfire and I want to upgrade the ends if possible. I have the 4 bar end option in mind from rod end supply but I would rather ends like I see on better set ups. Are there part #s for ends that look sturdier than these? Like the ends above? I guess I need specs.... part #s would help more.
