With a 1" drop you will be at -2.1 anyway as is. Its not that much to pull another degree for negative. The upper will allow negative camber, just not camber correction. I will try to snap some pics of my proto tomorrow.

Yes, this is one reason we added them to our F was to add camber as well as increase toe link arc length. For an 2010 or earlier this is the easiest way to gain a stable rear end and improve grip at the track. Minimal impact on tire wear with -2 degrees of camber plus the added benefit of running wider tires.

The Race version is stiffer, lighter and designed to hold the power of the F. The EE version is a cost reduced version that is more for slammed ISx50 and Gen3 gs vehicles. While they both have the same adjustment ranges the RACE version is what we have tested under extreme loading and what we suggest for all IS-F owners.

Links will always be heavier because we are adding solid threading components to a tubular assembly that used to be welded.
