I've been able to find four manufacturers/suppliers.
Give me some feedback about these. They are as follows: These are made in Canada and are $195 CDN (US $??). They're inserts which use the stock housing. I've sent several emails to them with no replys. Attached image(s) |

What Tarret's mounts (and some of the others)give is more negative camber. For a street car, I don't see them as useful....thus an unnecessary expense.
The same camber can be aquired(?) using the stock mounts, but they need to have (per my calculations for my car) approx .40 removed from their sides. A like amount has to come off the inside of the mounting hole and bolt cutouts. Negative camber (in large chunks) is not a gud thing for a street machine, but many Rspec or slick tires work MUCh better with around -2 deg. They wear evenly when used as intended. I have, however, seen tires that were street driven unable to stand upright on their own due to uneven wear from negative camber. The more rubber one takes out of the suspension, the more harsh the ride, but the responsiveness makes it worthwhile .......in a race car. The challenge when driving on the street is keeping the thing in one lane (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) It comes down to what one is going to do with the car, I guess. BTW, I don't have boxed trailling arms OR a "chassis stiffinging kit" on the shitbox....IMO, you can add the CSK to the list on unneeded road hugging weight....I've got a gud cage, tho. |
