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.

If you leave it how they come out of the box, then yeah they are a pain.

Out as in more negative than desired? Please explain in detail because I need to do this asap

Cant find any actual reviews or firsthand experience on these. Is anyone running them?

JimmyMac · 02-24-2015, 04:55 AM

I'd like to know the same. I'm thinking about trying these out on my next purchase.

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."
