You are better off just buying the individual camber adjusters. MMR offers them for roughly the same price as the single adjuster - $125 shipped.

The single subframe adjuster can leave you with uneven camber

that 125 is for each link, and you would need two. the center bar is fine for a street car.

anyway, shorten the bar for less camber.

No.

Individual adjusters can and do lead to binding in the rear, or worse, if you adjust them very far from the stock length, UNLESS you have spherical bearings in your control arms. This will be worse with stiffer bushings, terrible with hard plastic or metal ones. IMHO they should ONLY be used to even out the camber side to side when it's been adjusted with the subframe link.

MMR links are adjustable on the car with a 19mm and 17mm wrench. I have them on my car and they are $125 shipped for both sides. I like their design better than the AWR/Mazdatrix style, and they don't need to be lubed constantly.

Do you have the MMR spherical control arm bushings? or stock? I want these... and for 125 for both that's a pretty good price..

I have both the LCA bearings and the adjusters. I don't run the adjustable sublink because I have solid subframe bushings. The individual adjusters work ok with the stock rubber bushings, but I would not want to use the rubber bushings forever. I ran them for a couple track days, and they seemed ok before I swapped them out.

You can just replace the locknut right?

im pretty sure there is a slight twisting action as the control arm moves, unscrewing the top locknut.
its only on the passenger side, and would make sense considering the threading. if the motion loosens one side, it would tighten the other

I haven't noticed that issue on mine so far. I think I'd try all metal locknuts, reverse threaded hardware and/or locktite before buying new parts.
