Hi been looking at a few different camber adjusters front and rear.

Most people seem to go for skunk2 but those little allen bolts look realy flimsy to me and i have a mate with a dc2 who sheared the bolts on one while driving.

Just wondered what people use and would recomend on the best budget?
 
For the front Ive found my Buddyclub ones up to the job but I changed the little alen key bolts to a higher tensile strength bolt.

A lot of people over tighten them to start without using a torque wrench , Other than that and being non-castor adjustable is their only down fall.
Only reason il upgrade would be for a castor adjustable set , which I will do.

For the rear I would go for bubbyclub also , good quality for the price/ a happy medium .You will find the only difference in rear camber adjusters is the quality of bushing or rose joint.

Didnt know you could get castor adjusting arms??

And yea most rear adjusters seem the same but most dont have polly bushes.

Any one have any issues with rear toe adjusters?? Im sure there was a thread where some makes you couldnt actual adjust because of the angle of the bush??
 
Rear toe adjusters are a good idea for making fine adjustments to rear toe. Anyone who has had issues adjusting has probably fitted them the wrong way round as they do have some offset to them so have to be fitted a specific way, pretty straight forward

The Eibach/SPC arms are the best hands down, i run these. TGM are selling off some of their stock right now so are doing them for £210 posted, worth giving them a call to see if they have any left

The Eibach/SPC arms have castor adjustment too, the camber/castor adjustment is all secured by one huge steel locknut, balljoints are also extremely good quality

On a lower budget i would be looking into hardrace items from Dixon, mate replaced his shagged buddyclub ones with these and is very happy so far
 
As said, SPC/Eibach are the best. Are they for an EG? If so you will struggle finding any, these were discontinued a while ago and as far as I'm aware there are no more available from SPC - no one in the UK has any either.

If it's EK fitment, you're in luck. We still have a few sets available.

EK front arms for sale link
 
im looking at getting d2 rear camber/toe in set up for my teg but was wondering what front set up to go for...if they have stopped doin them for the eg does this mean they have stopped doing it for the UK integra aswell?im told the suspesion is the same on the rear end (eyelet fitment) is this the same for the front end also?
 
My mate ran Buddyclubs on his DC2, they died a quick death

Running hardrace ones now and much happier with them :nice:
 
HardRace teflon coated with spherical bushes, replace your rear camber and tow arms with these and you NEVER need to buy another set.

Run them in the race car, fantastic value for money.
 
nice one for that...my brother did suggest hardrace ones so maybe they are the way forward
 
Well i am looking for new rear camber and toe adjusters as the mfactory rear camber arms I had on are totally fuked, the rose bushes are shagged and its clunking like hell! :( had them on for 20k miles and 1.5 years. the D2 toe adjusters are clunking too and only had them on for 5k miles and 6 months! :(

not sure between SPC/eibach or hardrace???!!

I wouldve sayed the SPC's mate but after seing what had happened to steven9er then id have second thoughts( Obviously that couldve been a one off though)

Ive got the hardrace full bushkit and cant fault it!( Dont have the camber adjusters but they do look a good decent bit of kit)


I think if its between them both you wont be let down!:nice:
 
buddyclub for the front (just change the allen bolts for higher strength ones)
Hardrace for the rear as they're bushes seem to outlast the rest..

I wouldn't let it concern you too much, Steven is the only person I have heard speak badly of the SPC kit (and rightly so in his case) and I think it should be considered that his car is fairly extreme and gets used hard, the loads his suspension sees on a regular basis are going to be a fair sight higher than most of us will manage at best.

I would still rather buy these than anything else on the market using weedy little Allen bolts to hold the wheel in place.
 
I would agree there. stevens spring rates are at 22kg/20kg to start with thats tons more that most poeple will be using.

Have been looking at Cyberspeed ones but even those look a bit cheap to me. Might just get any set then adapt it with new bolts to make it stronger.
 
I understand that stevens car is intense but... Arent these camber arms at the top of the market?? especially for the price they aint mid range market, Surely they would be tried and tested at the highest degree! What im saying is i dont think the excuse is they failed because his car is "Track spec" so to speak, just possibly that pair couldve been faulty.

Not writing the spc's off id still consider them by all means, but just opens your eyes that its not all what u get is what you pay for...

Yea think I will go with the Hardrace ones as the bushes sounds the best and thats what keep letting me down! :(

Totally agree:nice:
 
you have to take into consideration that all these camber adjusters are ment for track use only. where the tarmac is smooth and there is no such thing as potholes and speed humps which put alot of sudden load on suspension parts. The only reason i an not a fan of the spc arms is due to the material they're made of as i would prefer the item to bend instead of just fracturing and failling.
