You might even get them for 395.00 if they are still doing the promotion.

These look pretty good. I think I'm going to order a set.

They are a quick install too, my mechanic only charged me an 1 1/2 labor.

Thanks

Oak......so you've heard these babies start to chatter after a bit?.....kinda like adjustable DLs w/out bushings?
Zippy.........I thought you were looking for more negative camber.....you do understand these arms help with adjustment in the other direction (less negative camber)....that adjustment many loose when they take the suspension down past a point.

Gregg - yes I understand that. After finally getting an opportunity to take the car out for a really hard drive with the new wheels and tires, I am TRULY amazed at how the car sticks once the rubber is heated up a bit. These are my first set of R compound tires so I don't know how the RA1's 245s & 335s compare to the MPSCs, but holy **** are they impressive. As an indication, I can barely break the tires loose in 1st gear now! Cornering is insane. I'm going to miss the mid/slow speed power on oversteer I used to get with the 225/295 contis. I don't think I need more -C on the rear. I'm going to have to push the car to insane levels to determine under/oversteer characteristics given the level of stick this rubber provides. I'm sure by tweeking the swaybars and ot the coil over settings it can be tuned in without more -C. I just need to do a bit more fender rolling to eliminate the slight rubbing when the car goes over a significant compression. (it's only happened 2 X)
I think I'm definately going to get the rear links to firm things up, but additional "chatter" is the last thing I need. I'm interested in the idea presented by Oak. Is there such a beast?

I think for a proper track day the -2.3 +/-5 rear camber is ok. What about the front camber set up. I read some guyes use -3.00 or even -3.25. Have you tested something like that?
If anybody knows i would like to know also about the axle toe they use both front and rear axle.
