Default Godspeed ucf20 Rear camber and toe kit

Just curious if anyone here has this product and can say anything about its quality. megans is about 200 more but looks about the same.

i generally try to stay away from Godspeed parts, whether it's for my miata or for my LS. All the 240sx guys run godspeed stuff, but that's why they're 240 guys

I know plenty of people running them. sgv_bum ran them on his car for a time after his Battle Version arms bent. They're good for about -14 degrees.

Think someone on FB was selling all 6 rear pieces (Megan) recently, and also some Nagisa front arms...might still be for sale.

tony, to my understanding godspeed parts are comparable to megans. i was not aware of the drastic price difference.

I'm probably going to be getting these if i can't get my alignment perfect next week. They are inexpensive and do the same thing as the others. My bushings are old and i need to replace the rear bushings and these are a good option if i need the adjustability.

I am running both on my car and it's doing just fine. It's more for corrective purposes than going crazy camber.

Default Godspeed rear camber and toe kit

I bought the Godspeed rear camber and toe kit but there was an issue with the camber rod being too long which created too much negative camber (pushed the bottom of tire out too much causing tire to wear fast on inside tread). If you are looking for excessive camber then this is the kit for you. If you are using it for a stock look, you will have to cut the threaded piece of the rod about .25-.5 inches to make it work.

I wonder why the same kit on my 98 had too much positive camber when they were installed. I better check to see if there are other issues going on that is preventing the rear to be aligned to factory specs.
