Teo, they do its just buried in the text.

"We had Westend set our car to our street performance specs which were 2 degrees negative front camber and zero front toe with 1.5 degrees negative in the rear with 1/8" toe in. Our front camber and caster are not adjustable but the measurement was gotten by maxing out the play in the bolts. We were debating making our front camber adjustable but 2 degrees negative is an acceptable compromise between performance and daily driving tire life so we will leave it that way for now."

Very nice write up! I'm not lowered in the rear so these Mega Arms wouldn't benefit me much, but I really do like the looks. Nice job FIGS! We appreciate the time, effort and products you are bringing to the table for the F.

We build everything to order right now, or at least have not been able to build up enough stock to outpace orders. So its 2 weeks right now start to finish with powdercoating. One week without coating.

For the F we suggest the RACE version over our EE(Entry Economy) version since it has a stiffer construction to handle the additional power. We have both MOTO and 3-P Aurora rod ends in stock.
