Not too sure whether these have been discussed before, but found these from K-mac.

From what I have heard/read, STAY AWAY FROM THEMOriginally Posted by GTI_PAPA
Guy at pedders told me it tore apart a strut tower on a Audi TT
Was chatting to Ray Ray the other day about the ones he had in his A3, he has taken them out, they are that bad
Is a design like that hard to adjust, that was one of the complaints about the Kmac ones

Hoyhoy.
One thing I'll suggest is to fix the castor.
I got mine made with a little bit extra which I wouldn't do again, keeping the standard castor will make it easier to adjust camber.

Just an observation and not picking or splitting hairs so merely making mention of the thread safety shown it that pick there, i was trained in both automotive and aircraft to have at least 1.5 threads of saftey showing, one there is well shy , like i say please dont take it as a critisism , just an observation.Hoyhoy.

I must say another thing about that pic. is that the camber plate is not slotted all the way along.
In between the little bolts ya see there is a fixed part of the camber plate, so when ajusting camber I always have a bolt on either side of the fixed part so as nothing can really move.
Bet ya like that one Jimmy.
There are extra threaded holes in the top plate to allocate for this.
So in saying this they aren't fully adjustable to the minute %, but if the bushes O.K. they end up being very close to the same on each side.

Not much room under the strut top of the Pog. in the pic. the sandwich idea won't fit.
The black top part will make it O.K.
Also if ya expect to get minus 3%+ like I do you'll need to use narrow springs.
Hooroo.
