Thanks man!

This arrived today! This meeeeens MOOOAARR camber which meens MOAAARR low which meens 1 step closer to track ready!

Buddy Club Roll Centre Adjuster with camber adjustment yes!






This is some serious piece of equipment! Such a awesomely done product can't wait to install it!

Now all I need is some rear tyres, another alignment and I'm ready for the track.
Confirmation from Berk says my High flow cat will be here 2 weeks into May. Tegiwa headers here waiting.
Exciting times!

so much info on them right?! i just went front as camber adjustment whise for the rear I'm fine. If the rear end is twitchy though and requires them to settle it down I may look into a rear set.

I originally was going to the hardrace top camber arma but I hear they don't leave you much clearance up top and they are pricey as hell. Also for the money you get a 2in1 feature with the rcas compared to the camber arms.

RCA's are much better than camber arms and do so much more than adjust camber so they are definitely the better product.
They help eliminate some bump steer, lower the car without fucking the angle of the lca thus having to raise it up and most of all it helps bring suspension geometry and RC back closer to stock (optimal).
That's why I don't understand why most companies just offer front RCA's

Just saw your post on aus s2k about installing them. Raise it up!
If you're keen for a trackday I've got a mate running one in June/July

fantastic build! massive change from when first purchased your s2k looks sexy! well done

Yeah i love the fact that it brings the LCA back to where it should be!
I raised it yesterday now need a alignment ASAP!

Thanks man! It still has much more to go

So yesterday we installed the RCA's, we maxed out the camber setting on them and once alignment comes around we shall bring it back to normal specs via the standard LCA camber adjuster.
Install was very easy 30mins job all round.

Now with the RCA's it brings your LCA (lower control arm) back to up to a suitable angle for lowered cars thus meaning it bring the wheel to guard clear MUCH MUCH closer.

HERE is how much clearance there was PRIOR to installation (car is jacked up)


HERE is how much clearance there was POST installation (car is still jacked up)


Once we dropped the car down it was crazy low! Looked amazing but was not practical for street or track and a slight turn of the steering wheel would of said
bye bye to my guards. Was photo worthy though. Can't really tell in photos but tyre is tucked about 5-10mm under guards




So the car was raised about 15mm give or take each side (can't remember exactly how much we did)
and now I need to get an alignment ASAP as its terrible to drive on about 5-6 degree of camber with the toe out and all sorts of things.
No photo of how it sits now as I forgot but this


Couldn't make it to Garage88 for an alignment today due to work but may just head to bridgestone in Smithfield who I also use regularly some day this week!

Will update on specs soon!

S2k is looking awesome man!
What was the reason for going RCA? Just to sort out bump steer issues, maxed out your front camber..
Or just to get the lca back up to close to stock position?

Cheers man! RCA mainly for camber and bumpsteer but the lcs fix is also a big plus! but yes main reason was camber

Nice, Sounds like a must do for all s2000 out there!

dat clearance xD i'm having clearance issues as well with my 285/35 tires xD just slightly rubbing against something when i full lock turning left, its shaved my splash guard on driver side abit revealing a nut and its rubbing against that nut slightly and getting it sorted soon xD hopefully not hard, speculating that its the bolt for the bracket for the BOV.
