For those that want more negative camber, I would make them even longer..another half inch or so. This would allow a configuration that is longer than stock.
i was not trying to get more negative camber, im at neg 4.7 degrees i was trying to correct that, so i was making sure there is enough adjustment

I am with you. My goal is to always correct the geometry for ride and performance. I was merely stating that most GS guys that have contacted me are talking about the opposite Check out Johnp's thread on my MEGA arms, he has been running them for a while now on his 2GS.

i just read his review, so these arms will help with some one who is out of spec by up to 2.5 degrees. im over 4 degrees, would you be able to make the arm a 1/8th on a inch shorter to help correct that?

yes I can do that. The limitation on correction will be the axle slip length, in other words, how much shorter the axle splines will allow inward travel. But yes, I can customize it to a shorter length.

So, can you make these lower arms with more adjustment plus the stock the eccentric bolt for MORE negative camber? I am a bit confused on the above posts... Also, I would definitely be interested in these toe arms, regardless. Camber wear on my tires is fine, but toe in/out is no-no for me.

The lower toe arms will make the toe adjust to spec (0 degree or so) correct?

sigh...yes. I can make them however you want them. The only caveat is that I do not have all the measurements to know how much negative camber is the limit. Also, with more negative camber, you will also need trac links IMO. To keep the hub center correct. Extend the arms, extend the toe link and you should have a resulting geometry that will be OK.

I can do it....

MEGA Arms start at $395
Toe links are $135/175/195
Trac links $125/$195
I still have not confirmed fitment on 2GS, but if it is the same as the IS links, then it will work. I need to get by the dealer to get under one.

the histeer arms are pretty well done for the IS, so i will adapt the design to GS over the next few weeks.

Also, I hit a little snag on the toe links guys. The cross drilled holes for the cotter pins falls just where it makes the stidd weak in some cases. So I am doing a quick turn t remedy the situation. Also, I am stripping and fill welding the holes for those that I already sold to quickly remedy the situation. It looks like a combination of the holes snagging the nut sometimes and putting stress on the stud during install. Just founf out about it today. So a little longer wait.
