Default Adding Negative Camber?

I figured this would be the best place to post this question. What kits are available to add negative front camber to the DC2 chassis? I know most camber kits are intended to reduce negative camber, but do any allow for adjustment in both directions? Thanks.

Skunk2 also makes the adjustable A arms and rear trailing arms very similar to the king pieces but much cheaper.

You can also swap the upper control arms (left to right, right to left) to gain camber and caster in the DC2's. This mod was discussed at length in a post about a month ago.

Jeff, did that actually pick up camber, or just caster?

You could also take a look at the SPC pieces at http://www.specprod.com
and the K-Mac units at http://www.kmacsuspension.com (I think this works)
Both are adjustable balljoint setups, the K-Mac adds a caster adjustment that I do not think the SPC has.

take a look there

I have the ingalls kit..
I was able to get an additional 1/2 degree negative out of it.. you can slot them and get even more.. or change the bushings

by flipping the plate that ball joint is attached too.. you can change the caster.. but I forgot which way... I'd have to look at it

if i'm not mistaken those black A arms shown were z.speed's which was the old lable of group-a prior to skunk2, which was skunkworks. it had the older aluminum slider plate.

the new ones has more adjustment range and uses a much thicker/stronger steel plate. the new ones comes with less parts, only the A arm and slider/balljoing, that's why the pricing was lowered.

i have the EG/DC pieces in stock if anyone needs them. EK's are on backorder. adjustement range is about +/- 4 deg. from the center. plenty of range for full adjustment.

How much do those A arms run? Also - how much, and in what direction, does the caster change by switching the upper control arms?
