Lightbulb Camber Link FC3S

I have the AWR individual camber links so I know what those are capable of.
BUT
I want to try and do just the single link that moves the subframe that
TC Sportline and Mazdatrix also offers.
have any of you guys ran this?

Im actually looking to get a little more - camber to fit some wheels on my daily.

the single does a good job at removing camber and more reliable than most of the single adjusters but it adjusts both wheels equally, so if one wheel is out it will still be out.

one drawback i have noted with the single adjuster though is that if you crank it down to extremes it will have a negative impact on your differential nose positioning. usually this translates into clunking and vibration noises if you don't have a pinion snubber already installed.

it also won't really work if you have solid rear subframe mounts installed.

Suspension is bone stock with coilovers. Only thing I plan on doing is rear steer eliminators and to increase negative camber some more.

well i have yet to have anyone make claims of my adjusters breaking, but i have heard many stories of the induviduals breaking when put to the test.

also consider what happens when you break an induvidual adjuster, the wheel flops out and could be catastrophic.

Does your adjuster have Heim joints or does one end have to be removed and then turned to make adjustments?

similar to the mazdatrix OEM unit except has reverse threads additionally(R+L threaded) so it can be adjusted on the car.

basically it is modified off your core. i'd have to see if i even have any cores left, i initially made a mistake having the cores cheap enough that people simply never sent them back to me and kept both.

In this picture It looks like the modded arm is extended pretty far and about the same length as stock.
I need to increase my negative camber so im going to need to be able to extend the arm longer than stock.
Are your arms capable of this?
Also this is needed for a S5 vert.

you want more negative camber? that is the opposite of what the bars are intended for. the more you lower the car the more natural negative camber you get.

i could make one specifically for adding more negative camber but in the past i have not made them that way. the minimum camber is set to the factory rod length as you see in the picture, most everyone winds up collapsing the rod length to level out the wheels when lowering the car.
