I would say you have the right idea but wrong parts. Research megans stuff in the forum, you will see failed suspension arms, bushings, basically I would refuse to ride in a car with those parts installed.

If your going with coils and lowering, you need the Spl compression arm bushings as well as a front camber arm. Jason has done a wonderful job of spelling out the suspension system and what is needed, just do a little more searching..

Default Godspeed / ebay front camber arms

Do the Godspeed / ebay front camber arms correct camber when lowered, or only add more negative camber ?

I think this is what your asking, they are made to be adjustable so that you can bring your camber back to spec after lowering. I don't know if I'd recommend these though, these are low quality ebay arms and from what I've heard, are easily damaged. I'd go SPC if you can afford it. I have an ichiba rear camber kit myself and I have no complaints, though I know others on here have had even those break on them.

I would pass on Godspeed junk, there are much better cheap arms available.

I'm looking to spend like 300 for front arms tops. What's good around that price. Ichiba, circuit sports, kinetix......? I just want something that isn't gonna break on me, will get me back in spec or close to it, and isn't gonna burn a hole in my pocket.

Cusco and , Megan are make to increase camber for performance , great arms. Circuit sport is a solid jointed arm, most of the people are limp wristed and will complain about the noise and harshness, great arm for a budget track/drift junky. The ichiba is just garbage.

Did you read the link posted? They adjust ±1.5 degree from stock. What is your current camber based on what ever ride height your are at? Add 1.5° positive camber and that is as far as they will get you.

Default I got these Camber arms too....Now what?

Yes i know i could have spent $ 500.00 for good camber arms, but these looked beefy enough so i took a gamble.

Obviously some people have these on their cars and would like some good feedback despite what people think of my poor purchase.

If your embarrased to post ..PM me and let me know how they really work or if they are REALLY POS junk?

Id like to know either or.

thanks, I cant afford to buy F-n tires every Two months!!!!!

I daily drove with -2.7 front camber for over a year, I still got 25k out of my front Hankook V12's. Front camber arms are not really needed unless your going stupid low. The normal 1 inch drop brings camber to around -1.5ish. Perfect to DD on.
