Why don't more people use RCA's
#32
It seems as though they are a good investment, longer tire life which is a major downside to running really low, increased suspension travel and increased camber "adjustment".
So what has everone been paying to get these?

Installation is so easy, I bet someone in your area will install it for you for a meal or coffee. The price for the parts is a little too much. I don't know how autofashion does it, (importing it for 420 for front and rear set) but they are the cheapest so far. If you persue, make sure the rear is adjustable.
I'm waiting to see what exact motorsport will price theirs.

You could just call them instead of waiting:
Exact Motorsports* Current Price as of today:
Front RCA for $179.99 a pair, rear $299.99 a pair
* CL Approved Vendor - http://www.exactmotorsports.com/GScamberkits.html
I'm smelling a group buy price offer.

Last info I got, iirc...they had one rear left for 299. They will have more coming with new prices.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the front RCA attaches to the Lower Ball joint right? Isn't it without these RCA, if you lower the car, provide more "Stress" on the lower ball joint that many early Gs owners get Plagued about that gets destroyed ? With the RCA it looks like it takes a bit stress off the lower ball joint area?
If this was the case, I'd be calling Exact right now for them.
I'm thinking, if I'm going to do this, I might as well change the tie rods and the ball joints at the same time.

That looks good! Too bad they dont fix roll center and suspension travel though. You can kill two birds with one stone going the RCA route. Then if you need more camber adjustment, get the lower/upper control arm.

It's not going up to $399. That's why I called today to confirm.
The $299 Price is what they are quoting for the new batch as well, so the price will remain the same. I asked them why the price didn't change and they said they were able to negotiate with their manufacturer to not raise the price on them.
Do note that these parts are made in the USA. If they were made somewhere in Asia, it would cost a lot less to make, but then they would have to buy a container full of them to get them at that price.

Hi, I did not know that was the rear, but I would think the front suspension geometry wouldnt be that much different from that picture, lowering the car, imo would still produce more stress on any suspension regardless. But if it helps raise the front 1" and helps take the a little bit of stress off the lower ball joint, like I said Im all for it !
