These are a direct replacement for the standard bottom arms and will add 1 1/2º of negative camber to whatever the car has as standard – quoted by the manufacturers as being 1º positive, ±1º.

If the car has 1º positive, fitting the negative camber arms will give 1/2º camber. Measuring what the car has with standard arms will help determine what camber setting will be achieved by using C-AJJ3364.

Excessive negative camber will increase tyre wear on the inner edge. A maximum of 1 1/2º negative is suggested for road use. NOTE: Increasing negative camber by lowering the car will also increase the camber angle.

IMPORTANT WARNING If the kit you have purchased has the letter A or B suffix, or is paint coded blue or white, the following applies: C-AJJ3364 with the suffix A are 2º extra negative camber (blue). C-AJJ3364 with the suffix B are 21/2º extra negative camber (white). These are for race or special requirements to be fitted only by professionals.

Importation rules regarding vehicles are very specific: Only those over 25 years in age may be brought in to the USA without compilance to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS).
