This is waaaay more than a stalemate.....be cautious.
These are the rotors I had on my car to match the front rotors. My rear rims I ordered as O disc so they wouldnt clear BBK. When Rotora sends me my parts I will have new rotors to put on the car. I was going to order new rims to allow BBK and boost the car and have recently had a change of mind

There is nothing wrong with the parts I have for sale. Rotora just has the worst customer service I have ever experienced.

well 3 weeks later or has it been longer I have a "new" brown box with something I should have received the first time around...


Worst customer service I have ever had to deal with. I would not suggest them to my worst enemy I hope everyone learns from my experience to find a better company to order your BBK needs from. My loss your gain

I can't believe I will be able to drive my car after this weekend.

Has anyone ever filed a complaint with the BBB? I never have and I may spend my time to do so.

you need all of them. is this shopped experienced with install all these camber parts? its not easy to make all 3 of these adjustments and they have to be precise with them.

I will post feedback hopefully soon on how my car drives with them.

as for the rubbing they brought the camber out too much or you need to do some trimming. if your not aware these cars lean on the driver side when they are lowered.

post back with updates

Ok...now i'm 100% sure that you don't really need the upper arms, my rear driver wheel was pushed back about an inch when I compared with the passenger side. It's 4 fingers gap between the tire and side skirt(rear/driver), 3 fingers on the passenger side, that's why my car was waving badly when I hit bumps on the street or speed above 45mph, and rubbing only on the rear driver where the bumper/panel section. Well...my goal was to set camber at around -4.0 same as Tommys, and I don't know how much positive camber can it adjust without the upper arm, but i'm sure the factory toe arm is enough to do the job, because at first when I had the camber/upper arms installed, my toe on both sides were -2.12 & -2.14, cambers were -5.7 & -5.3, and they adjust the toe back to 0.12(specified Range).
And also it's confirmed that Megan camber kit would only give -4.2 max negative camber, anymore than that, upper arm will be needed, BUT upper arms would adjust camber, toe & caster since the rear does not have caster adjustment, and the alignment machine does not give you the number too, so...it's gonna be really hard to do all 3 adjustments. The shop I went to is JC Auto House at Temple City, he is very experienced with alignment, hes been doing all racing cars, track cars..porsche...etc, i'm sure Henry and Tony heard about this shop, but the machine doesn't tell you the caster degree, so I guess that's why he didn't notice the gap difference.
And YES, when these cars lowered they lean more on the driver. Now i'm at -3.9 camber without the upper arms, so far no rubbing issue...

I still think its an install error. You cant rely on a machine when doing this kind of suspension work. not saying your guy is bad.

hope it stays good for you
