Default Anyone heard of the brand "Manzo" camber kit..

Hi All, I was looking to purchase a rear camber kit, and I'm still on the fence with either going with Megan Racing MRS-LX-0311 price roughly $170.00, or SPC 67520 $160.00-$180.00. But doing some research a brand called "Manzo" came up and they are $130.00 (harden rubber ?)... Im kinda skeptically because i never heard of the brand, but it looks like good quality and is steel.. I read on the e90 forums and some of the members are running it and they had no issues with them.. Anyone on here ran this before on their 3GS? Is this a come up company? Or can give some feed back or insight on them and on the Megan Racings or SPC rear camber kit. Thanks!

Ive heard of manzo before, but never used them. I know they made an exhaust for the 3gs. IIRC, its a similar design as other exhausts available. I currently use SPC control arms for the rear and have not had any issues with them (approx 20k so far). Ive heard good things about megan as well. I know a few months back there were a few for sale in the classifieds. You might want to post in the 2is forums as well as their components also work on the 3gs.

Megans have a heim joint, basically a race bushing. If you live in a sand or muddy area dirt will get lodged in it and give you squeaks. IMO not good for a daily driven car. I run the SPC and no issues here, ive had them nearly 3 years now.

Also what is the reason for wanting to run adjustable chamber arms? Is it to correct stock ride height alignment or are you lowered? If your trying to correct stock ride height then theres no need to buy these arms as most likely there are worn bushings in the suspension.

Thanks or your reply! I am currently lowered and i want the adjust camber arms because i wanted to be ready for a wheel setup this spring/summer. I live in mass, so there's not much sand or mud here. But with all this said I think i might want to get the SPC because i can't stand the annoying squeaks..

They make junk. I bought the exhaust since I was feeling cheap, and I got what I paid for. If they can't make an exhaust, I definitely wouldn't trust a camber kit.
