Seems to be a popular theory.

Furai problem with those arms is their main intention is to add more camber not zero it out, I dont think there'd be enough meat left in the arm if you sloted the hole out towards the end of the arm.
Also not too sure weather lvvta would allow them

Best option is to use offset bushes like the ones used in Hayley's car

They are slotted out as well as inwards for positive or negative adjustment and the description says " to get rid of unwanted camber when lowering vehicle "

Where might one find and purchase these offset bushes?

And how much do they cost?

Thanks :D

Uhh it doesn't say that it says "cheap and easy way to get more camber"
Just look at how little material is left on the arm after slotting it, there's no way you'd pass cert like that.
Have you seen how far people have had to extend their factory arms to reduce the amount of camber.

I was thinking certifiers would have issues with this too..

It's a good idea. In theory.

Read the AWR Racing one not the MX5 mania one. One says more camber and one says more or less.

I think I will buy the offset bushing Hayley got but I guess if you wanted these just ask one of the certifiers about them.
