I just bought a 04 6mt last week and it is lowered. But the original owner didnt replace the front A arms to get the camber into spec. He was told by his shop that he didnt have to. It needs them. I have noticed some complaints about the Ichiba camber kits. Does anyone have any other companies they would recomend or stay away from??? I saw some from megan racing and they are inexpensive but afraid they are cheaply made also. Any help would be appreciated!!!

Get the Stillen ones. They are a little pricey but well worth the money. Offers a lot of adjustment and will definitely get you back into spec.

 

Lowered is definite need for positive camber adjustment if expected tire life is to be in specification after alignment. The OEM arms are fixed for alignment to stock OEM suspension height.
You should have a look at "SPC Performance" fronts which are (2) part designs that are cost effective.
The arm offers about +1.3 degrees in the arm slot which is adjustable. An additional +1.5 degree correction comes from fixed angle tapered shims which mount behind the wheel hub and brake caliper.

Total positive camber is claimed to be around 3 degrees total, which is usually enough for even 2 in drop.

More then 1 in. suspension drop you need to be using the shims.

jimmy, how's the wear on your tires?

 

Stillen here. No complaints.

 

first post is a question that has been asked and answered thousands of times.

Cluttering up the forums with this crap is getting really annoying

 

If you want the highest quality arms with easy adjustment, go with SPL V3 A-Arms.

They are $565 but well worth the money.

The SPC/Eibach/Megan/Ichiba A-arms all have bushings that will wear out quickly and you'll be left with squeeks and a loose suspension feel.

 

It's a never ending cycle, John. There's always going to be NOOBS cluttering the forums.

 

have them to they are great!
