Megan $212.00

Figs $450+

Two totally different ways to control camber. Figs is nice quality though.

Too bad I'm getting rid of my car today, I'm actually leaving my Megan chamber kit on the car.

If I can explain this ok. This is looking at the car from the rear. The Megans push the top of the tire towards the body for more positive camber....this way.../ but not so extreme. The Figs replace the lower control arm and bring in the bottom part of the wheel in towards the exhaust. So if you have low offsets you have minimal adjustability. I bought them anyways.

"The biggest difference is that I am correcting the geometry on the lower side, instead of the upper links, which are difficult to adjust when the car is on an alignment rack. Also on a lowered car, if you correct on the top, you lose tire and wheel clearance. essentially I am taking the same adjustment that I have been adding to the Gen 1 IS for the last 6 years and putting in on this platform.

Another thing about the Megan products is they use very inexpensive bearings and welded thread studs onto bearing carriers instead of using a solid forged rod end like I use. So strength is a big difference.
I also add the ability to move the shock pivot point, to add or subtract leverage and to place the sway bar endlink in 3 different places, so you can adjust the preload on the sway bar. It is much simpler solution."

From Figs himself.

If you have the $$$ go Figs, but Megans will probably suit you fine as well.

Figs quality is spot on...I had just bought the Megan's before the Figs were released. Maybe I'll get both! I'm saving for wheels though. So it sounds/looks like you want more negative camber\. More inside tire wear. These kits help reduce negative camber. Interesting.
