LAVIsH, your running negative camber on one side and positive on the other?? Why?
saru, what are you looking for? I'm running -3 degrees in the front just from being lowered (stock control arms).

Wheel tuck. I picked up a set of 19x10 -18 fronts and 19x10 -28 rears. I'm lowered but still not running much negative camber. I'm rolling and pulling the fenders but going to need a little more then that and was thinking I could get something adjustable with more adjustablity then that.

You do realise that you put this spacer in upside down?
Even in your first pic the supplier had it the right way.
Not only will this wear the rose joint as it rubs it, it binds up and will snap the thread.
Was there no instructions?>

Wow, looks slick but Heim joints on a street car? They wouldn't hold up to the abuse (dirt moisture and potholes) and the time intervals between checkup, not to mention they wouldn't gradually fail- they'd snap. Stock ball joint assembly is much much stronger, I think I'd pass.. Unsafe.

There is nothing wrong with using heim joints on a street car if they are good and used right. But cheep knock off joints on knock off arms, then you have problems. You get what you pay for.

are you seriously trying to say that a formula car or a rally car puts less stress on its suspension components then a street driven car?
i wouldnt use those particular arms but if built right with something like aurora or skf components it will be fine.
if youre not convinced go on a mcmaster or aurora bearing website and look up specs for different rod ends and heim joints.
