Maxrev's RCA / Camber Joint Review
I recently installed J's Racing RCA (Roll Center Adj.) on my s2k.
FRONT RCA
REAR RCA
Impression:
Front RCA increased my front camber as advertised. The part is of very high quality. Rear RCA resisted in-lifiting of the inside wheels at the track and I feel like I am able to get on the car ealier with out haveing the car step sideways. 
for those who like their S2ks low and track their cars seriously.

Pros:
1. Allows way more front negative camber as our S2000s are very camber limited from the factory. This is done with out having to change the suspension arms which I don't feel comfortable changing. This is a big + in my book. Also, this part has been proven in J's Racing S2000 race car in the Super Taikyu Series.
2. RCA function allows you to regain some of the lost geometry if your car is lowered. The suspension will be more active and the dynamics of the body roll will improve. I also think the sway bar will be more active as the sway bar angle will be closer to stock suspension.
Cons:
1. Installing these RCA requires a lot of labor in removing the suspension arms. The front RCA is fairly easy to install with a ball joint remover but the rear requires you to remove the Axle Bolt and the rear hub / drive shaft assembly so the RCA can be pressed in at a machine shop.
2. Due to the thickness of the RCA, I hear it may not work with a OEM 16" wheels. I also noticed the slight rubbing in the inside of the wheel rubbing against the suspension arms. Its very minor but I believe it could be due to the diffrence in the AP2 rear suspension arms.

Great right up, Rob
The front looks anodized. Is it alluminum? Someone get a goup buy going on this

Raymund: Bulletproof can offer a group buy for the J's Racing RCA Front and REAR. How many people would be interested, then I can see what pricing we can get for you guys.

Why are you not comfortable changing suspension arms?
