ananybody running megan front camber arms?
I was really thinking about the megan front camber arms as I am -2 degrees camber in front and with brand new front tires at 521.00 per set I must get the suspension in check before I drive her anymore but was tossing around spc vs megan and the only thing spc has is caster adjustment over the megan so any opinions from people currently running either of these?
I am aware that the ball joint angle if far from ideal since it's not a heim joint but I may beable to fab up a heim joint for the megans in the future for a better angle.

No updates as of yet I am still trying to figure out which route I want to go and I may just install them out of the box and see but what is throwing me for a loop is the fact SPC re designed theirs and looks to be much stronger however having caster adjustment is a big plus for me as I like to have a nice zero drag alignment on my cars.

I myself need to figure out why my tire only worn on the inside ? camber possibly? could I benefit from these?

Yes that is exactly what mine is doing which I am lowered on coil overs but not slammed and as my car sits it is -2 degrees in the front which is much more than I like as -1 is about the most you would ever want to go.
Usually a zero friction alignment is as follows...
Camber -0.5
Caster +2.0
toe 0.00
This is just a general starting point you may need to custom adjust to your driving style and what you are looking for the car to do such as slow tire wear,turn in faster and or stick better when cornering etc etc

Most alignment shops will only do a factory alignment so it takes some searching to find one to do a proper alignment and you will need the SPC if you want to gain control of the caster and camber beyond factory settings which allow very little room for adjustment and the megan arms will help you get the + camber you will need to get back in to spec but either way you will need a set of adjustable arms to get the front camber back where it needs to be.

Just my two cents: I run -1.5 deg on the rear for camber on stock suspension for performance (the max I could achieve), and do not get inside tire wear. IMO, camber causing inside tire wear is a bit of an internet legend. 9/10 times it is caused by toe out, not camber. Now if you are running a LOT of negative camber, you should expect some inner wear, but it is almost always due to improper toe adjustment. The rear toe adjusting bolts on our cars wear out easily, and cause the rear toe to wander even after getting an alignment. Pull them out and look to see if they are worn and need replacing.
