Here is an update. We have been trying to abuse them for the last couple days, give them some real world testing. So far so good. here is the pricing set up.
camber arms - $220
traction arms - $235
If you buy the set of camber and traction rods, you can get both sets for $400 even.
The traction arms aren't completely necessary, they definately give you a finer adjustment on the suspension, I have found that it helps to eliminate wheel hop. If you are lowering your car with coilovers, then you probably definately want the traction arms.

it is my understanding that if you drop the car 1.2" or more, the traction rods are needed in order to bring the toe back into spec.
The stock toe cams only adjust enough for about a 1" drop.

Thank you for the compliment on craftsmanship.
We have been playing with the arms a lot in the last couple days. It is true that if you lower the car more than about an inch, the stock toe becomes a problem.
As you camber the wheels back towards factory spec, the wheels will actually start to "toe in" The traction arms can help eliminate the "toe in" when adjusting the camber, but only to an extent. The traction arms aren't meant to be a strictly toe adjustment, but they are needed if you lower the car more than about 1"

The Eibachs I put in only dropped it 3/4-5/8". If I buy the camber arms and find out after alignment that I still need the traction
arms will you reduce the price to match the $400 as if I bought them at the same time?
Also when will these be available?
[camber arms - $220
traction arms - $235

I will probably be buying a set of these next week once I get another paycheck. I have the Eibach springs. Does anyone know if both sets are needed with Eibachs? Should I get both to be on the safe side? Opinions...
very interested! please advice for us Eibach Pro-Kit user, which drops the rear about 1". Do we need the Traction Arm?
I know I want the camber rods fro sure.. how do we order?

Well..... I think you need both sets because they look cool!!...just kidding
If you are only achieving a 1" drop, my most honest answer would be you most likely will not need the traction arms.
It is always better safe than sorry, but with only a 1" drop I don't think they will be needed.
Currenlty we can take Paypal. or personal check. We have a credit card merchant account, but it is not set up to do phone orders yet, but hopefully soon.
Turnaround time, after payment, is about 6-9 business days till shipment. I will calculate actual shipping costs per order.
