F1 Fabrications adjustable upper control arm (+-7 degrees camber)

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F302571344041
I have searched all over this damn forum and can't find any feedback on these. Any one using them to correct camber in the front?

It says it fits with air suspension as well. Seller name is Snooozie with lots of items sold and great overall feedback.

Yes, I'm running Jimmy's (F1 Suspension) full set front and rear and they're really nice. He has a few guys that race with his suspension and haven't had any issues either. The front upper will give you as much camber as the front upper shock tower will allow. Make sure to ask him for the smaller heim joint if you are lowered or you won't be able to go out enough without hitting the upper shock tower. You'll either have to make room with a body hammer and trim the wheel liner back or get the smaller heim joint.

Thanks man! Am I simply using the wrong search terms? I couldn't find ANYTHING on these arms. Can you refer me to some links to other feedback? Even if it's your own postings?

I think Toadster posted something about installing some in a thread on here within the last year but I haven't seen anyone else here. F1Fabrication has a FB page with other users' feedback.

Here are few more.







The five arm sets on the left are for the rear and the two sets on the far right are for the front.

That entire set looks nice! I just finished installing my rear toe arms last night actually.

I think it was around $1800 for the whole set front/rear. I was replacing the stock arms anyways and wanted the adjust-ability.

I ordered the rear camber arms which should be here thursday, I'll snag the upper front A-arms next paycheck.

Just curious, why spend the extra money for the caster arms? Are you planning to autocross the car?

No autocross. I just wanted to correct camber as much as possible since I'm lowered (STAR). As for deciding on the other arms, I figured since I had the rear subframe down anyways for the bolt fix and all four subframe bushings replaced that would be the time to do it. Now my alignment guy has no excuses.

Rear Subframe Bolt Fix. Here are a few relevant links.

Rear Sub Frame Bolt - It's not a big deal

Upgrade your rear subframe bolts

Here's what my fix looks like:

Wow looks good. The dealer had trouble dialling in my negative camber even in comfort mode. I need a set of these one day. What did you do for the back?

Same company built me a set of adjustable camber arms for the rear. I didn't grab any pictures of mine but you can see them in other posts in this thread.

Yes, they do ship with them on. Contact Jimmy, he should be able to send you out a set.
