Man, yours looks way better than mine does.....Mine is all beat up and the anodizing job is "below par" to say the least. I was very excited to get these, but the appearance of them has kinda of killed it... I'll try to post pics when I can.

REVLIMIT! Come on now, unless I'm misunderstanding you, these things allow camber adjustment, via the slots you see cut in the base. The whole assebly slides forward and aft to adjust castor.

oops sorry about that I should have explained myself better. what I mean is that I want MORE camber/caster. Those peices only allow you to get as much as the stock peice can give. I need a peice that can give more camber/caster.

why doesn't he offer them with more adjustment over stock?? I to also want units that will allow more adjustment in preperation for when I lower my car. I figured this would be a good selling point to have, and it can't be all that much more labor.

With stiffer front springs and these units you wont need as much neg. camber.
As the suspension compresses in a corner, the camber will increase positive with wheel travel. Stiffer springs will keep it from diving in as much thus maintaining more of the stagnant neg. camber setting.
Also with the units above added, there is no sideways thrust slop on the sperical bearing as opposed to the POS stock rubber bushing. with a rigid suspension and these units 2 1/2* neg camber will remain close to 2 1/2* when set into a corner as opposed to a stock supension starting a 2 1/2* neg. will flex over to about only 1*neg. camber in a corner.

hmmm...I do have 800lbs springs....and my camber is at -1.5....I think I have to look at my car and what not to see if I need more camber. (note I drift and the camber change is different then when gripping)

Another added note- If you a-arm bushings are stock as opposed to Delrin bushings or sperical ( Urethane either, you still get some flex) you will loose camber there too under hard cornering.
In most cases on street tires, people don't run grippy enough tires to make a difference. You need a tire grip like BFG G-Force in the hot & dry or an all out race tire to make a new urethane bushing flex)
