Default Anyone using this spindle & rear link combo

I was thinking of purchasing this setup but i wanted to see if anyone had used it or known anyone with it. My 98 CX already has coilovers, shocks, and a camber kit however i'm maxed out in the front already and can't lower the car anymore without going into negative camber. This would get me an extra 1.5 on top of what i have.

Sorry about the other crap with the pic. Somehow its all one piece.

Didn't they stop making these years ago? I swore I remember them either stopping, or going out of business or something. Could be wrong though, don't take it for gospel

Goodness, I haven't seen those in years. I'm also pretty sure they haven't been made in years.

I never did like the look of their trailing arm; it seems to have a few issues. I was also always a bit skeptical about clearance with the front knuckles.

Why are you so concerned about the camber? How low is your car and what are the current alignment settings? What type of camber kit are you using and what spring rates and dampers do you have?

I remembered it from a few years ago but found the new company that is manufacturing them now. The reason I ask is because I'm about to make my nicer car my daily. I would say I'm lowered about 2in all the way around cuz i'm maxed out in adjustment on the front using the BLOX kit. It allows for +/- 4 degrees. What I'm thinking is 3.5 inch drop with no camber gains. I averaged about 32,000 miles this year (thank god it was on my beater). I don't plan on driving that much next year but this is Cali and we live in our cars.

Remove the camber kit, and lower it further.

I daily drive my GSR with -4.0* front camber, no issues in the last year since I got this alignment, and I'm not even that low (2 finger front gap). Camber kits are for people who want more camber than lowering provided, not less.

And yes, us SoCalers do live in our cars.

That doesn't really tell me what I need to know or answer my questions.

What are your current alignment specs?
