I would think if anyone does, it's FEED.

What's wrong with the stockers? Are you breaking them?

Just use some scotch guard, a wire brush, and a lot of elbow grease and they will look fine. Especially for something you won't see all that often. I just did mine and it took more time and effort that it did money or replacing parts.

$900? Wow. I think the factory arms will probably allow adjustment "beyond factory specifications" too.
If your just worried about cosmetics, some 800 grit wet sand paper and a buffer will clean them up. A little Nu-Shine cheapo polish will keep them pretty well over time.

Not bad considering a stock one is around $500 each. Factory lower arms and Not adjustable themselves. Only by the camber bolt on the bottom.

These would eliminate the need to replace four of the rear bushings on the stock control arm that normally wear out and clunk, but are the bushings on these replaceable? I see the pillowball bushing on end is, but what about the other two?

Replaceable.

Has anyone ever needed to max our their rear camber for any reason? I know I haven't. It's kinda pointless to install those unless you have need to exceed stock adjustments.

Exactly. Camber adjustment is what the ad was bragging about. And though I can't imagine the need, I think the eccentric will let you exceed factory specs. I wasn't aware that the OEM units were quite that high, but my "Wow" comment was that it was alot of money given he was only worried about looks....especially for a suspension item not normally really visible.
