Looks good, priced right, any opinions on this? I know whiteline had a similar product that failed. Any info. welcome. Thanks.

IIRC mentioned here in two other threads by those that found it earlier. Haven't seen yet review by someone bought & used it. Upon email inquiry to them they answered me that it's independent product not related to Whiteline's Com-C (IIRC KCA335?) that whiteline tried few revisions but failed to fix issues of binding bearings and ended up delisting twins from compatible car list. Supposedly with bearing at angle to reduce chance of bearing binding due extra sideload from different strut angle when at more camber.
If it works well without issues of Com-C then it might be very good product for those, that want more camber (camberbolts may help with going upto -2.3deg camber at stock height with camberbolts at both holes. For more track-worthy -3deg and up extra camber from topmounts needed too) for track performance, but not willing to sacrifice NVH by changing rubber topmounts to pillowball camberplates. Cheaper then camberplates too.

Thanks. Thought I might have been the first.:bonk: Read the threads: not much info. Was hoping someone had purchased and installed.

Lol, pedders.....

Well, i also have plans to try them out this summer. Hopefully they will last unlike wl's com-c. If not, will revert to current setup of camberbolts in both holes combined +powerflex front lca bushing pff69-801g, with which combined i barely got upto -3dg front camber. Still, from my experience on local bad roads at least with stock shocks i need rubber topmounts NVH-wise.

My situation entirely, except here all local roads are bad. The TCH (trans-Canada highway) is the only decent road in my province.

Just been shooting some emails back and forth with Pedders:

"Compared to the Whiteline and OEM units, our bearings are angled to relieve the striction produced by the modified geometry. 580096 is also internally reinforced giving better a more solid feel without seriously impacting NVH. Our parts are warrantied for 2years /24k miles. These are intended to be used not only as a performance part, but also as OEM replacement part and last just as long." -Pedders Usa support.

Good enough for me. As soon as the snow goes and I can find a decent alignment shop, I will purchase.
