Default Megan Camber Arms

Hey everyone,
so i'm getting ready to order a set of coilovers for my 2010 is250 AWD. Looking to get BC coilovers. I'm also looking into getting camber kit for the car as well. But i'm on circuitmotorsports and there are like 4 different arms. That's just the rear too...Do i need all 4 arms? I just think the toe and camber is the most important. I won't be tracking it or street racing. Just cruising...might be on the semi dumped side. Any help would be appreciated...thanks

Just go with figs arms, its 2 components lower control arm and toe link to adjust camber and toe. They are better designed than Megan links.

If the descriptions are correct, you only need these 2 to correct your camber and toe:
Camber

Toe

I'm not sure if adjusting your camber at the top though without adjusting your other links will result in improved geometry. You may end up having to buy the rest of the linkages if you're set on Megan links though.

If your looking to just do camber then just get the meagans (see link). I'm sure you can get it at a cheaper price somewhere in the vendor section. The figs are nice but too much $$$$. No need for the other arms.. Maybe toe, but I think that can be adjusted with the stock arms... Someone chime in and verify that.. Thanks

thanks everyone for your input. Yea it make sense that stock should have some toe adjustment. So maybe just the camber arm is all i need. But like JDkane said, if i just one of the arm..the rest of the geometry might be thrown off. If anyone else can chime in that could be great.. thanks

I have the rear upper Megan camber arms and the Figs toe links. I'd go with the Figs better than the Megan toe links.

With Megan upper camber links and Figs Mega arms, you can position the wheel whereever you want with optimal camber.

yeah i looked into the Figgs eng. arms and they are really expensive. I honestly won't be doing so much adjusment to the height. She'll be a daily, so it wont be too low where i need a ton of adjustment to camber and toe. I think i might just go with the Megan toe and camber arms....Still doing more debating and research...

I will be reducing prices in the next year as volume increases. We just had to get enough of a production ramp to amortize the tooling costs.

This is great to hear. I am also in the market and was looking at the Megan Arms. I wouldn't mind FIGS but can't justify the cost.

I think you need to take a ride in a car with them installed Its the right place to add adjustment without binding and it also is in balance with the toe link which is where inner tire wear and bump steer start. Think about the labor costs as well. Our arms are complete bolt on and offer a stock like adjustment on vehicle. So alignments take less time, they are less to install and will be easier to maintain. What warranty does Megan offer and what is their return policy? We are so confident in our product we offer a 2 year warranty against defects and a 30 day return policy. We also offer individual replacement parts for wear items like the rod ends. With Megans you need to buy a whole new set. We realize this is an investment and we have designed things to be low cost long term.
