i just purchased the megans also and i believe they arrived today. the min measurement on the arms are 435mm and max is 485mm. There is a lot of room to play with them. i set directly from megan racing is 360 shipped via fedex. not too bad

Yes the 2 arms in one set for 360 bucks. I spoke with Arjay, megan racings tech and he provided as much info as possible without having them mounted on a vehicle. This is the link to the exact arms called Rear camber kit. I will be chiming in here once mine are installed also///

I think he did it to do it. I dont think it really helped much on clearance for the wheels.
