So, I'm thinking I want some of these ignition leads, seen they vary in price. Is it worth buying used ones? And does the brand really matter? I seen Spoon ones and I know Spoon is...well, Spoon but what's so special about Spoon leads to make them so much more expensive than other brands?

As for the camber kits, again similar thing, does the brand really matter? I know D2 are quite decent and fairly cheap compared to others. Again, what's the difference in the brands or is it just the name I'd be paying for?
 
Camber kits vary greatly in material quality, most noticeably in resistance to corrosion and bushing quality. Cheap **** will corrode and snap, and have low quality bushings that fail quickly.

D2 is not wwhat I would call a quality brand TBH. Buddyclubs are not designed for road use so I would steer clear of those too.

SPC are good if you can get hold of them.

SPC seem mainly American based so could be a little hard to get hold of. Buddyclub was going to be my next option :(
 
Eibach camber adjusters are what you want, got mine from Demontweeks you can order though them. As for leads would not bother with spoon or others Magnacore leads will be fine and standard plugs. Funkypower/Demontweeks sell the leads. How's the car going mate?
 
Last few sets of Eibach front camber/caster adjustment arms left here.

Discontinued now so last of the line!
 
Don't say that about Buddyclubs, I've got both front and rear camber adjusters :p

Actually, Jerrick (MeisterR) does some heavy duty front camber arms, rear camber adjusters and LCA's - I would have gotten them from him when I got the coily's had I already not bought the BC ones

That's from the mouth (keyboard) of the MD of Buddyclub UK, he admits they are race spec units and not cut out for the kind of crap seen on the road without proper maintenance.
 
oh crap, will have to change them over when they start to wear, oh well, you live and you learn
 
I've got Eibach/SPC front and rear camber arms waiting to be fitted, look and feel 10x better in quality that some Skunk2 ones a mate had
 
These are what i bought, the single nut is a lot better than the allen bolts on BClub ones.

There is loads of adjustment on them and a good solid unit. The kit set be back about 350quid well worth the money as I have coilovers and the camber was way out!

Ye it's alrite mate, not really done anything to it, just got alarm fitted and got it on the road only last week. Need to still sort out that thread but will do that soon as I've ordered some Hel brake lines to add.

Paul- is that £195 just for the front camber arms?
 
FFS why do they need to be discontinued before i get my EK9 - this was gonna be one of my first purchases

May as well just grab a set now ready, you dont want to get your '9 and these no longer be available :nice:
 
I could do - how long are you going to have these available? Preferably i dont want to dip into my savings so would prefer to wait till i get paid at end of this month to buy them.

Will the eibach rear camber kits be discontinued or is it just the SPC front arms?

Edit: i'd be happy just to run buddyclub rears so not too much of an issue

We have 9 sets sets left on the shelf. When these are gone that's it, we had the last of SPC's stock so you will struggle to find a new set anywhere.

The rears are still going to be available as far as we are aware, it looks like just the fronts are going for now. They have just done the same on the DC2 ones as well.
 
Ok mate well i think i'm gonna wait till i get paid, hopefully you have a set left !
