Has anybody used the Camber Arm Kit from Ebay. I'm thinking about getting them, but wanted to get some input.

Here is the pic of them. I would love it too if someone gave some feedback on this forum. Right now, I have B & D springs on my Z. It is lowered 1" in all 4 corners. Even with a 4 wheel alignment, it is out of spec by .7 degrees on camber on the rear and .5 on the front. I know there will be some wear on the my tires being out of spec but do not know if .7 is enough to be excessive. Anyone know by experience on that one?

Does anyone know where I could look into front camber adj. kits too?

Jeff

Adjustable A-arms for the fronts from both Kinetix and K-Mac are supposed to be available in November.

ZLand, I have the Eibachs (1" drop) and these arms (from lsdunique). After installing the arms, all alignment is within specs EXCEPT front camber, which is not adjustable OEM. So I will be shopping for adjustable front camber arm/bushings myself. Mine .2 degrees off (-1.5, max spec is -1.3)...

The arms are great quality, bolted on easily. The tech was able to adjust camber very precisely.

May I ask how much you paid for these arms and how many hours labor you paid to get them installed?

Sure. I got them from lsdunique here at.. $220 or so, wasn't it?

This AM I had the arms installed, new pads on all 4 corners and SS brake lines, brakes bleed and alignment. All together paid $150 (2 hrs labor). If you figure $69 went for the alignment, then under $100 for the brakes stuff and the arms.

The arms are just 4 bolts. But the ones on there are on there TIGHT, and you MUST have the alignment right after, so what the heck.

I went to TK Performance (a division of Tire Kingdom). The store is on Palmetto and 57 Ave (NW)

BTW, he didn't split up the price. He just charged me a flat amount for the mechanic works including the alignment. I just figured for the work etc the alignment must be around $69 or so...

The mechanic/alignment was done by German (Colombian). He was very nice and explained everything he was doing.

Also, I mentioned the club to Matt and that YOU might ask for a club discount, he smiled and said "sure!", so, hey, see what you can get!
