I'm in the market for a front Camber kit for my 2g and while sifting through the interweb I stumbled upon these lil beauties.

Megan Racing adjustable tubular front upper control arms for the 2g

they are around $190usd for the pair, cheaper then the Ingalls Camber kit.

I wonder if you mixed the ingalls, this one and the ball joint type, along with a 2" drop, how much negative camber you could squeeze out of the front. Or if the camber degrees would add or multiply with each other.

They would add.

I have some Adjustable Anchor Bolt with the above mentioned Beauties you could correct for a crazy drop. Nothing that I would do but for one that likes to scrape his Oil Pan on the pavement...

Let us know how they work.

What bushings are you going to use with these?

Prothane? Spherical?

They require bushings do they not?

Nope, on one end just the anchor bolts, and it connects to the spindle via a ball joint.

That doesn't make sense. It's a pivoting part. It needs a bushing. Not just a bolt. Am I missing something? Lol

Oh right. The oem UCA can disassemble there and you can use the oem stud that has the bushing already pressed in. I'm using the ingalls as well. Just powder coated oem UCA's.

I'll be grabbing these in a few weeks, I'll be pressing in energy suspension bushings into the OEM spindles to complete the set. I'll post information on my findings.

Paul volk is working on the lower control arms atm, once I get those swapped out every suspension part will be tubular and adjustable.

Great find Terry. Nice to have an alternative to the now discontinued SPC adjustable upper control arms.

Not a primary concern, but do these happen to have any options for colours? Is it just the colour shown in the Megan link?
