The quick answer is to gain traction an to add adjustment capability to make the rear end track better (less bump steer and smoother cycling.)

Mike,

Do I know the owner of those?

Someone in TX, so not sure

If i want just to remedy the premature wear from lowering, is the toe link enough?

Any plans for a front camber solution? Is it even possible?

I have looking into front camber correction and so far its not possible on the upper control arm. I think th caster adjustment is more critical anyway in terms of tire wear as it makes it really hard to get the tire to roll over with as much as 11 degrees of frotn caster.

The toe links will allow mitigation of tire wear at a given camber angle, but to completely address it the MEGA arms are needed. Also keep in mind the other benefits like no bushing peload, sway enlink mount options and shock position options. It really helps with locating the rear and cleaning up the suspension cycle.

anything for the front...waiting for tax return to get these from u but not sure about the fronts.

I went to a local shop recently and talked to the guys about a camber kit for the front. They emailed me a few days later and said they found a front caster/camber kit for the IS-F and it would be in the $200 range. They didn't specify which one and never replied afterwards, but that almost sounds too good to be true.

Maybe it's the SPC one?

I'm swamped with work at the moment and haven't pursued this further.

Actually I am looking at those but they aren't good if ur car is lowered and my car is a little bit lowered.

Teo, still working on it. We are still moving shops and I have one proto welded and ready to drive on as soon as we wrap things up.
The SPC ball joints always suffer from clearance issues since they push the control arm upward. There is no clearance on the upper side to make any kind of major adjustment due to the formed sheetmetal pocket that wraps around the inner fender. The only way to get meaningful camber correction will be at the bottom.

Besides that it seems that toe and caster are bigger issues in the front especially considering the large amount of steering angle and how it translates to ackerman angle during regular driving.

Does that mean that it's possible to get 2 to 3 degrees of negative camber via a correction at the bottom? That would make quite a few track enthusiasts happy.
