Default Front "Track Spec" Upper Control Arm

Hi guys we just completed these for a Nurburgring car and wondering if there would be any interest in taking them to production.

The current design can allow spherical bearings on the inboard side or our adjustable SuperPro poly bushings that add another 1 degree of adjustment.
Total adjustment with the bushings is -4.5 to -1.5.
Boxed steel construction, TIG welded.
We provide the specs on how much 1-turn equals in terms of adjustment so you can dial in camber using a digital protractor, or even a phone app. Just measure on the hub or brake caliper face.

Pricing TBD based on options.

Although there are other things I need to do to my car first, I'm in love with these. Do these change the caster, or is the outboard bearing put on a specific angle in order to NOT change the caster?

Since you would modify camber to gain resistance to tire roll on lateral cornering, the same is true for caster during hard steering. Caster moves 0.27 degrees with every 0.30 degrees of camber change with these arms. We use a similar design on our pro drift kits for the past 4 years on the JZX90/100 chassis pushing 1000wHP. Its a good set of measures to correlate.
