Im confused on what brand to get? its for a daily driven car, but you may also add up for track/circuit application
 
PLEASE use the search function :((

This has come up endless times, this should help though...........

-Eibach/SPC arms are the best, simple as. They are very expensive though

-General opinions seem to rank Buddy club arms next

-Finally skunk 2 ones are ok but require some care/attention to poor balljoints on the front ones

There are also Hardrace ones available which there doesn't seem to be much feedback on :)
 
i do not agree with eibach/spc being the best, i would prob say hardrace are the best imo of course but spc as a very very close second,
 
Buddyclub or hard race
They are really good and acceptable price. Around 160gbp front / 125 gbp rear ;)

steven, i think ill be going with buddy club...

i checked out the net, is this a good deal for a set? :confused:

Buddy Club P1 Racing Camber Kit [Part#: BC02-CBKP1EK-goldrear]
 
Blox SUCKS tico, there ball joints and bushings fail quickly!! I suggest the SPC forged aluminum :nice: you can get them for about $200 and they are without a doubt the best!

I don't normally like to correct people but in this instance you are wrong

Do hardrace ones have castor adjustment? no

Do hardrace ones have adjustment via one huge steel locknut? no they still use the 4 bolt design

Are the arms of the hardrace ones made of forged aluminium? no


My mate has just bought a DC2 LHD ex BTCC race car, PROPERLY fully prepped for race use with no expense spared! Various rosejointed suspension components etc, proper race car, oh and guess what camber arms it uses? Eibach ;)

Are you talking about the same company who makes PLASTIC endlinks for the WRX that break in half? The same company who makes a bushing kit that is so off some people can't get it to fit? You realize all Hardrace products are made in china! I am not trying to be rude but i am willing to guess you own this kit and do not have experience with others and are giving opinion based on emotion. I have used ingalls, skunk2, SPC, and blox, believe me SPC is easily one of the best.

Comparing SPC to Hardrace is like comparing a Lexus to a Kia, it just makes no sense. It's like a thread i saw on here comparing Eibach to Blox, one is a proven company, the other is a copy company that sells chinese parts!!
 
i thought hardrace were ok? does the above statement count for there bushes aswell blinx?

kabayan, how low is your ride? Do you really think you need camber kits?
 
stevenek9_ im running full hardrace bushes on my ek4 and they are superb,had mostly spoon bushes on my old ej9 and they are just about as good, i quite like the 4 m10 fixing for the hardrace kit,granted the single bolt fixing on my eibach camber arms on my ej9 was good but i personally prefer my hardrace ones.....although i never knew the eibachs had castor adjustment and i run them for 8 months lol,

this has just wo this for me, im changing to eibach :D

I have a set that has never been used, do you want it? pm me, i can also show you a place you can get them for about $220 :win: but i know what you mean as average price is about $360+

Yes. When i changed my mags, i really saw a big difference of wear from the inner side of my tire. (both front)

by the way, i'm not familiar with my ride hide height but this is the photo, just check it out http://www.ek9.org/forum/members-rides/16506-my-simple-car.html

Have you checked your toe settings? This is what usually causes the accelerated tire wear.

Hmmm i see, Hardrace seemed like a decent company when they came out but every review i read is either love or hate, perhaps there quality control needs a bit of attention, the price is very reasonable though...
