Enough negative camber to make someone king of the stance crowd if they wished.

Can also pull it back in a ton if you want. These style of arms allow for full range of camber adjustment.

I can't say; I've not used pillowball control arms in any of my cars. Cusco is typically good quality, albeit often overpriced... So I'd have to guess their pillowball is as good as anyone else could do.

Edit- I just noticed Cusco uses a boot around the pillowball joint, which is a superb addition for protection from the elements.

RacerX will put a dust boot on your heim/rod end/pillowball for a pittance as well.

I'm not sure what kind of review you're looking for from these. It's a pretty standard design for aftermarket LCAs and won't do anything substantially different than most others.

Probably a review that says, "Stay away from these they suck!" Or a review that says, "They work great and do the job. No problems out of them."
