LONG time. I think it took 3-4 weeks for to get my stuff a couple years ago. They're notorious for being slow shippers.

Took them about a month for my camber links. After emailing them twice they finally sent them with dtss eliminators so I couldn't complain. But the camber links snapped of course...and now they wont respond to my emails.

I have gotten stuff fast -then had complete nightmare experiences with other orders (thankfully not for much money) I do like the product they have... if they got their shipping and communication sorted they would do well. I currently have their diff and subframe bushings.

There a tons of threads about the MMR, Mazdatrix and the AWR camber links breaking... the general consensus is typically people over tighten them leading to the failure... however there are some dudes that just plain break them. The camber links should be very easy to have any decent fab shop make for you... maybe hit up JTP and see what he says.

Never ever ever ever ever ever buy camber links from MMR for this exact reason. They are TOTAL GARBAGE!!!!!!! They use grade 6 or lower bolts and 90% of them snap within a few months. The other 10% last until you start to push your car and then BAM, new paper weights for the shop. Do a search and you'll see, MMR=Fail.

So glad i ordered those then..... I kinda needed camber links and lca bushings in a hurry to get my car back up. Glad they come through quickly and have awesome customer support.

Now i sit on a car i probably wont be able to drive on the 9th of next month. Fantastic.

ahahhaa fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
just throw stock ish back in and bomb till they send something. i would seriously expect them to make things right, and damn fast if i bought something from them, and it snapped on my track car. aside from the wait, swapping parts, and getting alignments over failed **** adds up fast. not cool.

I'm closer to my engine swap than getting back in my drivers seat. How lame is that ****? I'm seriously frustrated. I thought MMR was pretty reputable on here. My gut told me "take all your **** to the machine shop and have stuff dealt with."

Atleast the shop is 10 minutes down the road.

If they didn't give me free dtss eliminators I would be pretty mad but whatever my fault for cheaping out. They worked fine until I yanked my ebrake in the rain and then a thump noise from the rear, -15 camber isn't nice looking haha. They also lasted me one track day, I think I'm just gonna go with a lateral camber arm now.

I didn't read the other post so excuse me but **** MMR. Good, well priced products. But I waited almost 3 months to get my motor mounts and toe elims and the didn't even send the right ****. After another long wait and them ignoring my multiple requests for my **** I finally got my mounts but not the elims. I just gave up. I'll never buy from them again.

I'm actually pissed. I'm glad this thread exists here now though. People will read it and be like "**** those *************."

This should be stickied so nobody else gets robbed. $130 paper weights. Fabulous. Yeah. Really ******* pissed now.


I've read alot of threads on this forum about rear camber adjustment and never once have i heard **** about the camber links breaking. I have a sublink from mtrix and it's been a damn good investment but those with uneven camber that can be seen visually opted to go with a 3 link adjustable setup and i heard ZERO complaints. Good thing my anger management is to my immediate right or i would have thrown my monitor through the wall. Please, feel free to post more experiences.

Probably didn't ship the 11th... That's likely just whenever they bought/printed the label online.
Also USPS tracking is garbage. It won't show any updates until after you're already holding the parts.
I think my parts took around 2-3 weeks to actually show up from when I got the email with the tracking #.

I have bought pretty much every FC part they have to offer but I haven't had a chance to put any of it to use yet since I'm in the middle of rebuilding my engine. There is info on here about their camber links breaking but you've gotta do some digging. From what all I read previous to this thread the links snapping didn't seem super common. Now it is beginning to sound like the opposite. I'm stuck wondering how much of it is hype though since like I mentioned I haven't had my car on the road with them yet.

We'll see. I'm going to try them out regardless. I really need to zero out my camber badly. I wonder if there is more to it...like maybe a certain setup would cause more stress on the links than others?

Might i ask WHERE they usually snap? Shoddy ms paint sketch works. Thanks.

I read somewhere on here that they've been redesigned but I'm not sure how much of a difference that actually made and when the redesign happened.

Pictures and a discussion right hurrr...

More talk why they're thought to break...

This problem isn't exclusive to MMR's camber links, by the way.
There have been pictures posted of snapped AWR camber links too.
