OR opinions on rear camber adjusters

so i'm looking into maybe buying the MMR rear individual camber adjusters for my FC. my camber differs a lot from left to right and i wanna set them both up to as close to 0 as possible. MMR sells them for 125 which is pretty cheap compared to others i've seen. i wanna know if anyone has experiance with them or others and their thoughts about them. please, don't chime in if you've never used them, it just makes the thread all that more cluttered up. i want real info from real people

I wouldn't get them from MMR. Jebus had them and I read on his blog they suck, heres the post



Try AWR Racing they sound like they are better for individual camber adjusters. I'm sure there are a lot of other people with more information too.

thanks but theres not a lot of info on them in there, as i already read through it. i'm looking for more specific advice/info, like pros and cons from one brand to another. who makes the best and how did they like the adjustability and quality of the product.

wow, thanks for the info and the pic, defineately not going the MMR route now. i had seen AWR's stuff before but it's fifty more bucks. i didn't wanna waste my money if they weren't that much better but i see now they probably are. anyone else care to chime in?

I think I read in the setup thread (JTP was talking about it) that the best thing is to use a combination of camber adjustors for the back. A big center one , ie mazdaspeed's, used for the large adjustments in combination with the individual ones from like AWR for fine tuning the camber individually on each side...

I only have the big center one and it dialed out a TON (at least 5*) of camber. Works good enough for me

the large adjuster will come later for me. my camber is totally whacked from side to side so individual adjusters make the top of my list.

I've had the AWR ICA's for several years now... The only issue that I've had, was a sheared bolt, which could have been from a combination of overtightening the jam nut to the body(you need some play on the throughbolt) and that I was doing a lot of mountain/canyon driving then.

They are awesome, and I would def recommend them.

I am running a stock subframe center link as well. The reasoning for this, is that I have Aluminum Subframe mounts to the body, and don't want any "play" from the compliance of rubber. I also would not trust delrin, when you are making large camber changes with the subframe, as it puts stress on the mounts/stud contact.

AWR parts are top notch.

What's the difference between the solid delrin mounts/bushings and the aluminum ones as far as the mounting points and studs?
