You dont need adjustable camber arms on an mx5!! the eccentric bolts in the upper and lower control arms are adjustable from factory if you need more adjustment get offset eccentric bolts

I brought some from redline a couple years ago, and returned them as they didn't fit.
Factory adjustment is only on the lower arms. And even with aftermarket lobe bolts wont give enough adjustment if your car is lowered.

I bent the factory ones hence the replacement but if they are as you guys say they are I will be staying away from them. :o

Yeah if you want more adjustablity after offset eccentrics you have to extend the lower control arm to give more positive camber

You also won't be able to certify them as it will throw you MILES outside the camber allowance (And for a WoF, you will have to if your WoF guy isnt a retard or the "let it slide" kind).

I've had to return about 3-5 pairs of camber arms from redline, each set lasted 1 race or less on my EG before they failed or bound (Yes, I used copper grease). Wouldn't touch them

If you really want the extra adjustment you could go to the V8 Roadsters tubular arms from FM.
