I called j-ondemand, who supplies them, and they said it offers +4mm in positive adjustment. How many degrees is that equivalent to? Is it comparable to the cuscos?

ok more info

the fronts have adjustment of +/- 2.5 degrees so a range of 5 degrees.
the rears have adjustment of +/- 1.5 degrees so a range of 3 degrees.

i informed them about the website not displaying that info and he said he would have their webmaster update it ASAP.

also i asked about wholesale account and they said that they are available, but need a 2k buyin or a 3k buyin. so if there was interesting in doin a group buy on these, could possibly become a dealer or distributor for them. which would mean i could get better pricing. let me know if anyone is interested in doing this.

IMO, remove 2 degree's from their front numbers and you have a actual adjustment range, Using the same design as Cusco, their's no way they are going to adjust that much range. +.5 to -2.5 is much more within reason.

hmm i see. not tryin to argue as i dont really know, but that is what the guy at ichiba told me on teh phone today. i had a hard time believing it as well, but thats what he said.

i thought the cusco one only had set adjustment points as in they couldnt slide back and forth.

+1, its impossible to get more than ~+1 degree of positive adjustment on the front without the SPC spacers because there just isn't clearance for the added length of the camber arms in the fender well

If these really do offer that a good range of pos adjustment, I'd definitely be interested in a group buy in. Let me know how to get them from u. Can u adjust the toe with the rears too like the SPC? Thanks.
