It's my understanding that someone makes an A arm where you can adjust the camber. Anyone have more information on this?

referred to as a 935 style arm.
pricey.

not legal in many racing classes.
not fully necessary in but the most demanding and competetive environments.

check out smart racing, I think they may sell one.

Why would it be illegal in racing? If youre rear camber is made to be adjustable (shims and such) why can't your front?

Im in the process of making something like this for my 911, I may make two sets, one for my 914 as well.

I am however using rod ends at all connections so both castor and camber are adjustable

your front in stock configuration is already adjustable for camber, castor and toe also...

most racing classes are either stockish or modified.
and very few stock-ish type classes allow a person to change suspension points or modify factory pick up points. The 935 style technically just that.
some racing classes would allow 935 style in the modified classes.

however, there are other types of racing out there that will not allow any modified pick up points at all. For example many of the vintage clubs. For example, I am not allowed to modify pick up points. I would never be allowed to run a 935style, and I am not even allowed to make the drop spindle modifications for the same reason.

so rules vary.
and many rules would not allow it.
probably 70% of the different classes in the U.S. of A. would not allow it.
