So, we have a set of these on our test car for awhile and have our first sets shipping out to some of my preferred customers this next week.
You can get a detailed description on our NEW website, KINETIXRACING.COM
They offer 1.5 degrees of positive camber adjustment and 2 degrees of negative camber adjustment. They will not adjust or change caster.
We used a high quality 3 piece heim ball joint, with one of the key factors being the clearance issue beyond the mounting stud (where it mounts to the spindle) As discussed in the thread with 350evo's arm, there is little to no clearance beyond this point, meaning we had to gain as much clearance as possible in order to get the 1.5 degrees of adjustment before it hits the subframe. Getting more negative camber was easy, but getting postive camber (pull your wheels out for tire wear) was the real challenge.
They also use polyurethane energy suspension bushings and a polyurethane dust bootie. They are very easy to install and come with everything you need, take about 1-2 hours for both wheels.
They are made of S.S. and are much stronger and stiffer than the factory arms.
Let me also say that was very IMPRESSED with the 350evo billet arms, all I can say is WOW. Those are some serious arms with some serious quality. We understand our position in the market and try to provide an affordable camber solution for the front while also providing a good upgrade in performance. We think we have done that.
While many enthusiasts are going for every extra edge in tracking there Z, we also didnt want to ignore the guy who wants his tires to last longer (like myself) For the enthusiast who is going to track his car, we recommend upgrading the haim ball joint to the 3-piece version with heat treated chromoly race, which offers the most in strength and longevity. This upgrade will be $65 and is recommended for those who really get on their car and track users. For almost everyone else, the standard heim joint is PLENTY.
so here are som pics and let me know what you think.
prices will be posted in VENDOR CLASSIFIEDS FORUM.

sorry, but we cannot do local pickup because of our zoning and insurance. Plus you may find us all out golfing and that wouldnt be very professional would it!!
Though orders placed through the website now have actual shipping cost, so shipping to sth cal is VERY cheap.

I noticed on your website there is a $50 dollar discount when the camber and traction arms are purchased with the A arms. For those of us who purchased your camber and traction arms before the A arms were available, will you consider giving us that $50 discount on the A arms?

I can't tell from the picture, but can the camber be adjusted without separating the control arm from the spindel? It looks like you have to pop the joint out of the spindle then spin in 360' to make a change.

true, they will not be adjustable while installed on the spindle. We went over and over about the design and this was weighed in heavily.
We had another design that allowed adjustment while on the car, but cut our positive camber adjustment capability in half. We thought it was a good trade off to allow more positive camber. While this may be a little pain in the *** while trying to adjust, most leave their adjustments alone after installed the first time.
PM if you have already purchased our camber/traction package and we can work something out.

-D'oh!
I also was concerned with this and he said they are not heavy-load bearing pieces and that the overwelding done on these will be much stronger than a factory piece. They aren't that pretty, IMO but how many times has someone asked you, "Dude, let me check out your A-Arms!" Never happened to me! I need something to adjust camber and be at least as strong as stock. These fit the bill perfectly and at a price that is virtually unmatchable. I bought mine last Sunday. I think they will be here about a week from today.

I'm very interested in your package for $750 and my paypal account is ready. My only question is, will the pieces have any type of warranty or guarantee that they'll withstand daily driving along w/ a few track days?

We will never turn down a customer on a piece that has failed or is faulty. We say this because for one, we have tons of confidence in the strength of our pieces, and two because we do all the work in-house and is really not that inconvenient to send out replacements, etc.
The only time we will not "warranty" (we wont reapir, we replace) is if the car is in an accident and that is what caused the damage to the piece.
We have always felt we do a reat job in standing by our products and when buying from us, you get a more personal experience which also means more communication.

That's what I want to hear!
I live in costa mesa, is there any way we can speed up the process so I can get them soon? I'm installing my coilovers this week, depending on how low I go I'll know if I need the front arms or not
