Buddyclub Front Camber Arms


I believe what they will tell you is that their products are for "Racing Use Only" and are not suitable for general street use. Therefore they should be checked and maintained on a very regular basis e.g every race/track day. Obviously not very good for people that use the car every day and are unable to check each time they park up.

Unfortunately I think that's what they are going to say leaving you to fend for yourself. But you would think that now surely a lot of people have complained that they could spend the extra £5 and throw in some HTS bolts.
 
as said by others and on the actual item, they are for "racing use only". The design is actually better than most because it has a solid mounting point not two thin rails. The only downside is those little bolts corroding to dust as they are just not designed for road use. I had the same issue as you guys when i had them on my old VTI, the bolts were starting to go. Spent a few quid on some good bolts and never had any more issues with them. HTH.
 
Cheers Aleex.

Yeah Stephen i think ill just buy some hts bolts to replace them.
 
We haven't had any of the CyberSpeeds arms fail on us yet.
Proper Hex bolt (not little allen bolt) and a 5mm thick steel body.

I'm scared to take a look at mine lol. I might just remove them whilst my car is off the road before I regret it. The quality of them is terrible...

Anyone wanting any i'd personally go with the Cyberspeeds ones, had them on my old civic and it's so much more reassuring having 4 big bolts holding the camber in place rather than wee allen key bolts
 
GET HIGH TENSILE BOLTS IN THEM AND THEY ARE FINE!

I abused mine round the ring with no issues.

High tensile mean they have a much higher breaking/shearing point. most bolts are like 8.8 and very easy to break. 12.9 wil be spot on.

Metric bolts

8.8
Class 8.8
Medium Carbon Steel, Quenched and Tempered


10.9
Class 10.9
Alloy Steel, Quenched and Tempered


12.9
Class 12.9
Alloy Steel, Quenched and Tempered


A-2 Stainless
Steel alloy with 17- 19% Chromium and 8-13% Nickel

Persoanlly i would avoid stainless as these can be very hard (nature of the material) and if you ever have to drill one out you be knackered because stainless can work harden and no matter what diamond drill, carbide tooling you use will not get it out.
 
have you used the 9 on tracks yet without the camber kit?
 
The main reason for them snapping is neglect. All you have to do is spray them with copper grease or similar product and they are fine.

We put these on all the civic cup cars and not had one issue. I'm sure you guys dont abuse the cars like the drivers do.

Any problems please PM me
