Sorry, no such thing like there is for JDM stuff. Megan does make adjustable wishbones for adjusting rear caster but you'd have to go full Heim joint spherical to adjust camber beyond what the lower camber arm eccentric will allow. Maybe the stance crowd knows since they're into looks instead of performance.

All are Hard Race spin offs I think, like Megan, Manzo, GSP, NNR...
They make camber and toe adjustable links.
Plenty is written on e90post.
Have you try the search option at all?

Rear camber is already adjustable by a couple of degrees right from the factory.

I'm guessing he's talking about radically changing camber after slamming the car judging by the terminology used. But of course you're right, via the eccentrics on the spring arms.

If he is after a camber kit to take away or add camber, here is a good solution:

Yep, that's the only way I know although Megan makes some much heavier adjustable equivalents.

aggressive negative camber achieved only via eccentric bolts on spring arm might cause excess wear on other components like the half shaft for example. With a full camber kit the wheel will tuck in without pulling on the cv joint.

I have heard that the bearings on those won't last really long. No personal experience with them though.

Thanks, was thinking anywhere in the eccentric's range would be ok.

Yeah, they don't last long at all. I replaced the ones on mine with Aurora Race Performance spherical bearings and Seals-It seals.

Much longer than the rear tires that is for sure.

Cv has a wide working range so that is not really an issue.

True, but I have notice that they do fail, especially on MT tuned n54 that don't have lockdiff and suffer from wheel-hop while running close to -3 rear camber.

I know a lot of contributing factors and for $115 in part why not upgrade?

Yes, that is true.

They fail often when more power is added, LSD and the car can actually put the power down on the ground.

Not to step on the product as my application is not average but I replaced the spherical bearings on the RE arms at about a hundred miles (I think) and half of them were already loose. The Aurora parts are still like-new tight after 10K miles.

I suspect the RE arms would be fine on most cars and nobody in their right mind would pay four hundred bucks for replacement ballends. Just want to make it clear that going to something better costs a stoopid amount of money and i'm pretty sure the vast majority would not find it cost effective.
