Default Adjustable Rear Camber Bushings

http://www.bmpdesign.com/product-exe...earch_model/52

Is anyone using these? I'd like to get rid of the toe-in and be able to adjust the camber a bit. I know bavauto.com sells something similar to this also. Has anyone heard anything good or bad? What are my other options?

I'd also like to find some adjustable front plates (K-Mac?) if anyone is selling. I need to be able to add about 2 degrees of additional negative camber in the front for track days.

I'm running a front camber kit. Putting in a BavAuto rear kit tomorrow.

This is a link to a front kit I'm using.

I bought that kit a while back and it turned out to be made by K-MAC. I had it installed along with a new trailing arm (bent) and so far no problems. Tires are wearing pretty even. I never really messed w/the adjustments though. A friend at Firestone installed eveything and he put everything in factory specs so far so good

I have the bavauto rear camber adjusters. Nothing to say about them really though. They do the job, but how our rear suspension works you can't adjust them yourself. Ground Control, Motoforce, or someother type of camber plate like that seems to be the most popular front camber adjusters.

L8 - Can you explain what is involved with installing the rear camber kit? What was difficult? What did you need to remove?

OK, first you remove the wheels. Then remove the lower bolt of the shock, remove the springs, remove the sway bar end, remove the inner brake lines. Then you remove the bolts of the control arms. Then swing the control arms in a position that you can get the supplied tool to have room to work. Then you will see that the old bushings are herniated on the ends, and will not compress into the supplied tool.

So I used a dremel type tool with a cutter blade and hacked away at the most herniated side of the bushing. That should allow the bushing to collapse into the the tool as you wratchet the tool into compression.

Then you must insert the urethane bushings, insert the offset insert sleeves, and finally get the bolts in. The bolts are shaved off on one edge of the thread. You MUST make sure not to install the bolts incorrectly, or you will jam up the insert and damage the threads.

Take your time, and remove all the stuff I mentioned, then use a cutting tool to break down the bushing. It will take about 4 hours to do the job right.

I'm on my way to the alignment shop in an hour. My toe is WAY off, hope they can set me straight.
