This is for the rear only. It's a camber and toe kit, with a lock out bolts for the toe. The fronts do not use the same arms that the rear does, so four arms = two per side (one for camber, one for toe).

Getting only two arms might be possible, but I'm not sure if he's just going to package it all together in one kit or not. I would recommend getting both though, because all the other arms on the market that are short of being custom will be inferior in comparison.

Convince me why these make other brands inferior and you'll have my money. Spherical rod ends make all the difference, or are these just of higher quality? What happens when they go bad, years down the road, and need replacement? Will they stay in production, or will you be stocking up on them?

Well, to put it plainly, the spherical rod ends should outlast pretty much any other option out there. The arms you can get from eBay, such as the J-Power or Ingalls ones, use pretty crappy bushings. OEM quality is better than the stuff that Ingalls or J-Power offers, except it lacks the adjustability. These will be as good as it gets for an aftermarket option for the time being, short of a completely custom set of arms using your own components.

I assume that the manufacturer guarantees the quality of parts with a warranty, but I will not personally be stocking something like this. The manufacturer may stock up on them however.

Has the group buy not started on this yet?

I had to go ahead and get a rear camber kit. Any chance I can just order the toe lockout pieces?

The designer has devoted the last few weeks to getting his car up and running, since it has been out of commission for about two years now. He just put a new motor in, and got it tuned on Friday. Hopefully I'll have an update for you guys soon. If pieces can be sold separately, I'll let you know. If not, check my thread in the DIY section about a toe lock out kit.

:D

The arm designs should be completed. This is getting forwarded to the manufacturer, and we're going to move forward from here. Stay tuned for more updates!

Essentially you'll get four arms, sixteen misalignment spacers (two are larger than the other fourteen), and a toe lock out kit.
