Dude that sucks!

Was going to get it from http://jdmaccessories.com.au/...Does sound interesting considering JDMyard has them for closer to $400. But who knows.

I've been looking around, and by the looks of it i can get a kit with ASR subframe brace and 24mm sway bar for around $400-500 from the US so i might grab that.

Nah man you can put your trust onto him 100%

Upper arms look good, what camber setting are you going to run?

[rookie]

Cheers ChargeR. Not really sure but I guess your the man to talk to if anything!

I'de love any input people have reg. good camber settings for mostly daily driving but also some track.

Finally got the camber arms in this eve.





Currently running a similar setup to OEM on the arms. When I get my new wheels I will spend a bit more time trying to get a good camber setting.

Great work, how hard was it to install the camber arms? Great progress

Thanks dude. Was very straight forward. Just fiddly doing a lot of the work behind the coilovers and under the guard.

Surprised how well they actually fitted. I heard that they hit the strut top/guard lining. My set had no such issues, complete rotation without getting close to clipping on anything.

Nice work.

I like how the bolts aren't alley key bolts

Cheers. Yeah, the 15mm Bolts are sturdy and you can crank them up pretty hard. Really happy with the build quality on these!

i run 3.5 front with 3.0 rear camber...

BTW - dont over torque the bolts! they will SNAP!

Thanks for the advice. What torque setting would you recommend?

[tinkerbell]

if the instructions don't tell you, here is an alternative to ensurign "enough but not too much" torque on the bolts:

use a 25-30cm long ring spanner with one hand only.

if you have a shorter spanner around 20cm , you could use two hands,

pull gently and evenly until it gets hard to keep moving. this is when you should feel it is nice and snug...

never jerk or tug.

since there are 4 bolts there, there is a lot of surface area for the plate to bind with, you dont need to over tighten such a set up ever...

and since there ARE four bolts, do it in steps, just like when you put the wheel nuts on...


ALSO - it is hard to tell, but are there any other washers under the bolt heads?

my camber kit has 'star' washers to prevent teh bolts loosening...

Surprisingly there were no instructions or information in the box that was delivered. (Ordered from JDMYARD)

I did what you have described last night when installing the arms. Although it was hard to gauge as I was also supporting the camber arm in my opposite hand (Holding arm in one hand, tightening bolts with the other)

Although, the ring spanners was only about 10-15cm long so I would be surprised if I had over tightened them.

Thanks for the info dude. I do have a torque wrench, but like i said before, there were no instructions supplied so I was not sure as to the torque measurement required.

In regards to your last note. I'm pretty sure my kit had split lock washers.

[tinkerbell]

sounds like your 'arm torque' is well calibrated, and you also took into account the split washers,

still - like all sussy installs, you should physically check after 100-200 km,

and do the 'shake' test regularly... (grab wheel with car on ground and see if you can get it to move)
