I get that - but what does that correspond to camber wise in degrees ? (no absolute, degrees of change between -9mm and +9mm given inboard mount is locked somewhere in the middle of the slot - I saw the lock out plate pics on your package pictures - they look solid)
All in all, I think that's a well thought out design. I like the idea of pills which is easily repeatable and can't slip. I also like that the adjustment doesn't rely on threads held in bending. I think the deflection in the actual stock arm would be relatively small considering it's a big lump of forged steel. There is the bushing deflection to consider, but I doubt if the AAD is appreciably different from the SuperPro bushings I have in mine. These arms are probably a tidy little weight loss that could be as much as 10 pounds for the pair (how was that guess?). I don't think the price is bad for the arms. Lord knows I've paid more for less.
I think I fall in the range of "successfully racing cars and gaining results", but this is just the beginning of an argument from authority. Let's not play that game. There are any number of way to make any type of car fast. We'll all have different tendencies and preferences. There isn't a right or wrong answer. There is an answer that will be the best for any given car, driver, track & conditions combination and it's unlikely that any one answer covers all those bases.
Along these lines, what are your thoughts on the bottom pin design of the rear shocks. The bonded bushing on the bottom mount pin doesn't seem to make any sense.
I recently watched your video about the IRS on the S550 still not sure how useful upgrading the camber links for a track car is. I have a very annoying knocking from the back over bumps so I plan to get rid of a lot of the factory stuff in the back but Camber Arms is something I just can't commit to mostly because price. I know that Camber adjustment in the back is an issue but for a track car on track tires I just don't see the point of changing rear camber that much for me is set it and forget. Toe Links on the other hand does looks super useful for alignment purposes.
That’s not an argument from authority though. It’s a matter of people discussing how it works theoretically vs seeing actual results on a track, and as Kelltrac said, those are two completely different things. Claiming that a certain part creates a certain results with absolutely no real-world testing is just a baseless argument, and it’s obvious Kelltrac isn’t someone whose making baseless claims.
I am not sure you're reading the right parts correctly. So far claims I've seen here are "improved performance" - that's such a general claim which is closer to marketing than anything else. Using alignment as a tuning tool isn't ground breaking idea exactly, so am not sure what baseless claims you have in mind.
I said it was the beginning of such an argument. The first part is questioning the background of the person behind the post. The second part is dismissing the statements made because of the background.
