anytime you adjust camber on these cars you will have to adjust toe. so that being said, anytime you make an adjustment you have to have an alignment done.

so, if you what to increase/decrease camber by let’s say 2 or 3 degrees. would it be necessary to do an alignment after this? Im just wondering if a couple degrees make much of a difference.

^ yes any camber adjustment will throw off the toe. So alignment is pretty critical.

I will have two versions, one will not require the full rotation of the sway and headlight. The other will be static set. I have built of the turbuckle version first.

When I asked lowered430 about these on another thread he said Azcamber made these. From the pics above it looks like neat work.

Sneak Peakaboo. Still a few things that need verification... like the sway endlink clearance and I still need to machine down the inward spacers to the correct gap. All in all pretty happy so far though.
