I sent them a message about the Rear camber link and havnt heard a date back yet. I would rather just order all the pieces at once.

Yea save on shipping, the prob with pbm is that when pbm sells out of a part there's a waitin period for them to restock

My PBM camber links are coming in on Thurs. Also, trying out the DIY lateral links, I found out PBM was making them the day I got all my parts Saved a few dollars I guess. Will post pics when I get it all together.

Let me know how much - camber you are able to take out with them. I sent Dan an email yesterday for a status update on the main adjustable bar they are supposedly working on.

right, but they appear shorter, they make it seem on the site that with the pivoting subframe bushing and diff riser that it "fixes" some of it.

Seems like a pointless buy if all they do is replace stock and look flashy

I've been in contact with pbm and the adjustable camber arm is supposed to be out next week. I don't understand how the camber arm works and if it will work with their solid bushings or not.

Hoping they get me close to 0, I can adjust with my subframe link. My driving is not at the point where I will need to dial in different rates side to side.

Will do. May be a week or 2 before I have time to put them on. I will be pulling the entire rear end out of the car.

The solid subframe risers are spherical so they should be able to pivot.

FANTASTIC info. Also, Dan just got back to me on the camber arm. He said next week. He also mentioned the PBM camber links take out -1 -1.5 * camber "depending on other settings" and he also said with the arm, and bushings (Pivoting one) we should be able to hit -0 *.

Looking forward to the pics kryptonite

About 3.5" end to end and roughly 2" measuring from the center of each bushing. Definitely don't think I will break them they're pretty beefy. Will take more pics when I tear the rear apart.

all you monkeys better buy the subframe riser bushings. ***** monayyyyy.

Installed these and the camber links from AWR camber links and MMR subframe bushings. Drove the car and the rear end acts much more natural. They fixed the suspension geometry from having my coils maxed out... >_<. Also have the rear diff mount risers, and a PBM solid front diff mount. money.

How long have you had the bushings in and do they adjust as well as pbm claims? I bought them but im pretty skeptical of the whole ball in a cup design

And back on topic... DIY vs. PSM vs. stock. Still unsure which I will run, there are pros and cons for each.

Will probably end up selling whichever one I don't use for a good deal... Hoping to get it all back together in the next week or so.

DIY looks just as good as PBM honestly, but I'll probably buy theirs cause I enjoy supporting them. I haven't started worrying about camber yet though, until I start making more power I probably won't do any arms. Actually when that point comes ill probably just run a 235 on a 12 or something

Let me me know when you sell the laterals..I'm in market for a pair. What did you mean by pros and cons? I'm lost on the techs about them. I'm mostly doing street machine car & prob a drag strip here and there. What are those sway links?? Thanks
