If you buy the set of camber and traction rods, you can get both sets for $400 even.]
Is their any reason to believe that the combo pricing has been recinded? I could find no evidance in this thread that is has. I have pm'd lsdunique, wanting this offer and details on how to purchase. But he hasn't replied.

Can you explain to me how this can adjust the toe. It seems like all the traction bar will adjust the wheel going back and forth, not left to right. I guess sort of like a caster adjustment?
Because of the angle it will pivot the axis more then the stock eccentric bolt. It works.

The only time people have had problems with fender rubbing is by putting on 10.5" wheels. Sure you could put the traction rods on but you say you have a camber problem not a toe issue.

After a long wait, I finally had my adjustable camber arms installed. I had the Eibachs installed a couple of months ago. After an alignment, the results :

All adjustments within spec EXCEPT front camber, which we all know is NOT adjustable (OEM). The front camber is at -1.5 degrees, max spec is -1.3 degrees.

So I will be researching options to fix that. As I said, all other specs worked out.

BTW, after adjusting rear camber, the tech adjusted the rear TOE by turning an OEM eccentric behind (towards the center of the car) of the springs. This was enough to bring TOE within spec. I didn't get the adjustable torsion arms.

That said, they make a good set and I should have bought all 4...

I am glad everything worked out for you!!

PM me if you want to complete the set with the traction arms, I am sure we can work something out.

I will also have a few prototype sets of front adjustable A-arms hopefully by the end of next week.

I just became another very satisfied customer of LSDunique Rear Camber rods, great product and simple to install. If anyone in south florida (Ft. Lauderdale - West) would like to see them on my car just send me a PM and we can arrange a meeting somewhere.

before installation:
left -2.03 camber - 0.02 toe
right -1.92 camber - 0.04 toe

after installation:
left -1.01 camber -0.01 toe
right -1.00 camber -0.02 toe

Thats close enough for me (;>)

Now I am waiting on the Front arms and I will be all set.

Yeah I've been waiting for the fronts to be released. Hopefully we'll get some sort of package deal on all of the rods together.

if you drop more than about 1.5 or 2" you'll need traction rods to bring toe back into spec.

On a standard Eibach drop I don't think traction rods are needed

I have the standard suspension, still waiting for Koni struts. Should I get the adjustable front arms as a preventative measure? I only have 7500+ miles, 6000 on my Michelin A/Ss, so no wear is evident. Maybe wear later, maybe not at all. I don't plan to drop my car, What would you do in my place?

If you're only changing the struts and not dropping the car there is no need to have that can of adjustability in the front. Save your money.
