Might be a dumb question but with these mods could you by chance adjust the camber so we could get rid of the feathering once and for all? I'm thinking if you can I'd easily buy a set.

This list below are the objectives they wanted to reach in development of these control arms.
__________________________________
1. The arm must be easily adjustable
2. The adjustment must be permanent and repeatable (no
sliders assliders can slip and no eccentrics as
eccentrics can rotate
3. Provide enough range for both street and race
4. Use aluminum for light weight
5. Make sure it is as strong or stronger than original
6. Use a ball joint so that the travel is as long as
original ( monoball type outer joints limit usable
travel)
7. Make sure it looks cool so people will want to buy
it
8. Use existing proven race car design
9. We wanted an adjustment method that a person could
have his streetset up and easily change to his race
set up on race day then go backand know that both
setting are repeatable.
They believe they covered all of these. Soon to come, pictures of instal and review.

um..... sliders slip!
Thats funny .....we have over 8500 race miles on our race car and that has never ever happened. If an arm is engineered and designed correctly it wont happen.
That would be the same as me saying that shims fall out.
Come on now Performance play nice i think your diggin a little here.

Sad thing is your both good people, knock it off or both your bottom lines will suffer from turned off wallets. Our community doesn't need this. And I like both your companies,.........let's keep it that way.

Feathering is supposedly affected by the shock valving, not the UCAs, but I could be wrong. I have no feathering now that I got ride of my OEM suspension.
As for UCA adjustability, I would much rather have sliders as they more easily adjustable that having to put in shims.

We will do a step by step install as soon as my car is back from the stereo shop. I think you will be impressed by the "shims" that are used. They have a male/female mating surface to prevent any slipping and make sure you can go from track to street setting easily and ALWAYS end up with the same setting you want.
