Subject: Camber - another option

I managed to find the websites for Specialty Products
(http://www.specprod.com & http://www.specperformance.com), and I ended calling one of their technicians. I described my proposed suspension setup and that the car was a street car but was auto-xed regularly. He steered me away from the eccentric bushing solutions. They offer three options - a press-in bushing that provides +/- .75 degree of adjustment, and control arm anchor bolt replacements that give positive camber adjustments (up to 3.25 degrees!!!) He said that the bushings and the anchor bolts squeaked a lot, and required yearly removal to clean the camber adjusters.

What he strongly recommended was the SpecProd adjustable ball joints. For my use, he recommended the +/- 1.5 degree adjustable joint. I requires no maintenance and is more friendly on the street.

For the rear of the car, they offer an adjustable bracket that gives you about +/- 1.5 degrees of adjustment. FWIW, he frowned heavily upon longer bolt/washer kits, even the one they sell.

Interesting stuff.
