Default 350EVO camber bushings

These are the new 350EVO eccentri camber bushings. We have them for the front upper arms and the rear camber arm. These are the proto-types. The front bushings also allow for caster adjustment.

COOL. Can't wait to see the finished product. What kind of material will they be made from?

when can we buy them??? I'd like to be able to adjust camber before a track event in October.

If you have them now, we can add them to the headers order!!!

Thanks,

PeteH

it does both................the simplest way i can think of explaining this at 6 30 am is hold two fingers in front of you at the sme height horizontal to the ground. The cents of the bushings are lobed.....so now whe you turn one of them......move one of your fingers in a circle while keeping the other on e still......when your finger goes higher of lower then than the other finger that is changing the caster. When you change the how far back or how close one of the fingers are to you....that will change the camber bacasue it is leaning the arm in or out.

I forgot to ask...how much camber correction do these allow? Also using a material similar to Delrin..isn't that a little too hard of a material for bushings? I need at least 1 deg.

For handling......the more solid they are.......the less flex you will get. The less flex.........the more percise things will be. Our race car has our complete Delrin bushing kit in it. Such as with sway bar bushings......flex is not a good thing. This applys in most ares of the car. There are a few places where movement is a good thing. the upper control arms bo benifit form a stiffer bushing.

We found today that there isnt enough for this to be the fix. There is actually more caster adjustment thatn camber adjustment with these. We would have loved for them to be able to adjust 1 degree but that isnt the case for the front.
With the rears there is more because the bushing is a little bigger.therefore it turn more.
If anyone is interested we have three more sets of these avaialbe that we can sell at our cost. They are a stronger bushing and do allow for some camber to be adjusted.
What we might do is use these with our adjustable arms so then u would be able to adjust camber and caster with our setup.

Sounds to me like you discovered the same lack of camber adjustablility as K-Mac did with their bushings. That's why they're not selling them.

PM me with a price anyway for a set of the prototypes. I need a minimum of -0.50 deg. to get back to max. spec. of -1.3 deg.
If I could get 0.75 deg. out of the bushing I'd be happy. You must know if you say this isn't the fix.

We gained .3 and .4 degrees of neg with the bushings.
My car had -.9 on one side and -1 one the other side.
Now noth sides are set at -1.2 with stock springs.

That's not much adjustment at all. Definately not enough adjustment for me. My left is now at -1.8 and right is -0.9 with my Eibachs. For my kind of "normal" driving I'd like to have it at -1.0
