So I know there's factory adjustment.
Was wondering what is best aftermarket option for better adjustment.

I've seen adjustment kits which add an eccentric bolt.
Apparently they are a pain on the driver side.

I've seen lockout kits, only from BMR.
Would the lockout kit and adjustable arms work together and be best option?

IMHO the two best options are AAD rear camber arm or the Steeda unit (There are others like BMR, etc) Steeda is infinitely adjustable with a rod end whereas the AAD uses “keys”. I have the later and it works well. Very easy to switch between track and street mode once the two settings have been determined.

Hope that helps!

Arms, don’t waste your time/effort on the inboard cam bolt solution. It’s a PITA to install/adjust.

Brand doesn’t matter they all do the same thing. I have BMRs with the poly bushing.

I only mentioned BMR because only they have a "lockout kit" for the bolt that goes through subframe and arm.

I guess I'm more so wondering, "should" you use the lockout kit with the arm?
Installing a new arm with the slotted notch seems a little sketchy

I used Steeda’s cam bolt solution initially and couldn’t stand the adjustment point (it’s the same as factory). I think the lockout is a good idea because it forces the bolt into one of two positions iirc.

You can use both solutions (I have the Steeda cam bolt + BMR arms on currently) and the BMR lockout might add some integrity to the position of the arm on the subframe (locked further inboard or not).

You saying you first tried the Steeda adjustment kit with the eccentric bolt? With BMR arms as well?
But ok, I think we agree doing the lockout is probably better.

Correct, I have both on my car now. The Steeda bolt was set to be as far inboard as possible and got some loctite and the TTY angle treatment because I never intend on touching it again. The BMR arm fit in just fine with no hiccups.

If I were doing it again I’d do the BMR lockout and then whatever camber arm tickles your brand, aesthetic, budget fancy.
