Inexpensively!

Need to confirm a few things, but might have a way to correct front camber on the cheap.

Yes please.

I sent you a PM a while back asking about your rear setup... It seems like you've really spent a lot of time getting things dialed in perfectly.

The only "cheap" way I can think of is camber bolts, or using a generic smaller diameter bolt. An alternative would be to be to slot the hole on the subframe.

Yes - spent countless hours and $$$ dialing things in. I really got tired of burning $$$ on rubber, and just started "playing" with settings until I wound up with a low tire wear/predictable handling setup.

Understood.

I thought I'd read some old posts where you'd installed the MBArts camber arms or toe-links (or maybe both?)...

There aren't too many people I can find who have actually installed those products, so I was just looking for some feedback. All I've found were complaints about some early units with pulled-out threads on the adjusters.

for all you guys just killing the insides of your tires, just before the inside edge gets illegal go to the local tire shop and have them flip the tires. if you a-symetrical tires sorry your S.O.L. they will probably charge you about 20 bucks to do both tires, but compared to what a single tire costs its worth it.

Just do it the right way. You will never regret it.

And also add a set of toe links.
