Rear Camber Adjustment

I'm trying to buy this today and am seeing if I need to spend the extra cash or not. I just wanna get the rear camber adjusters for my car. I just wanna set it once and be done with it, but I just don't know if these are worth using. Will these work right, and cause me no issues? Or should I fork up the extra cash and go with Mazdatrix? Thanks guys for the help.

Thats just a TC sportline single camber adjuster. I recommend this :http://www.awrracing.com/store/produ...products_id=80

So i guess I'm really confused. Doesn't that TC Sportline let me adjust my rear camber? I mean for less than half the price I'd like to know why I shouldn't get that? Cause the Mazdatrix ones look like the TC one. So what is the difference between the bar and those add on things you suggested? Sorry I'm a noob at this, so don't hate, I'm just tryin to learn. Thanks

i have the tc sportline rod. its a pain in the *** to install. for being only 2 bolts it gets frutrating fast, with **** falling in your eyes and stubborn nuts/bolts.

with that being said, it took my camber from being -4.5 to a more acceptable -.7 but.. and this is a big one. my toe between right and left are different and so i need individual toe adjusters now.

so... this will take out huge amounts of camber but has a 90% chance of trashing your rear toe settings.

Thanks for the info! So if I get the camber adhusters fc3s91 recommended will I have to worry about that? Cause having toe that is off seems way worse!

i dont know how much those camber adjusters will take out. i almost maxed out the tc bar. and for me anyway, the camber was a much bigger issue. it gave me a much larger contact patch and much more grip in the rear. so i was able to keep my foot in the gas longer for the drift and obtain higher angles and much higher speeds. night and day difference.

i def recommend the tc rod.

The AWR camber link allow you to adjust the camber individually. With stock struits camber is usually not the same. This lets you set the camber even.
Thanks Robert
