Default Camber arm / kit???

So I was browsing through ebay and came across this listing. Its for a 93-97 supra, rear upper control camber arm

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/93-97...ts_Accessories

I know that the supra coilovers are compatible with the SC since I'm using PBM coilovers which are made for the supra, but are the upper control arm's compatible as well? I'm looking for more negative adjustment over stock. Not a camber correction kit like daizen's, unless it can allow for more negative camber adjustment as well? (not sure because it says "correction") Coz i was checking and i'm not too sure if SPC makes camber kits for our cars, which would be the cheaper alternative

As far as I'm aware, I believe the control arms should be a bolt on from the Supra; not 100% percent clear on this, maybe someone will chime in on this.

As for those control arms, I've heard some people mentioning the bolt on the pillowball mount coming loose, therefore unloading the suspension while in motion. I don't know if these are the same brand, I only remember them being from eBay.

Just a little FYI: the Daizen camber kit acts as a simple elliptical cam within the confines of the circular control arm bore. It should be able to sweep either more positive OR more negative within the given range of its eccentricity.

It should be exactly the same as its correct-ability in the positive direction, provided that there is clearance enough for the control arm to move inward that far. It's just a round bushing with an offset bore for the inner sleeve. As you rotate about the axis of the inner (offset) sleeve, the surrounding bushing acts as an elliptical cam moving the control arm off its natural axis up to a maximum distance equal to the offset between the sleeve axis and the center of the bushing. It should work identically in either direction; again, assuming there is clearance for the arm there.
