Matt,

Take a look at the end of this thread:
https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/852...1/page__st__50

Someone just posted a J's Racing ball joint clone for close to the price of the SPCs. They look good.

looks interesting. As I understand two offset lower ball joints help with camber. The other two spaces in the picture go under the steering rack to reduce bumpsteer?

I just got it in the mail. I know that guy who owns the red S2000, rode down to the dragon with him one year.

Exactly. The lower ball joint is pushed out which adds negative camber. The bumpsteer correction is for lowered cars. If you're running stock ride height you don't need the spacer.

Hey guys,

Instead of the pain to install SPC joints, has anyone tried or heard about the godspeed rear toe camber adjuster? example:

http://www.s2000upgrades.com/2000200...-p-245052.html

Tried searching for it but haven't had much success.

Trying to avoid having the SPC in the rear if i can

Put in an order for the ASTs today... hopefully i can get them on before the June event
Sweet! What spring rates are you going with?
asked for 700/650
Which AST's did you get? I am thinking of replacing my DA Koni's with AST's.

i ordered the 4100.. they're SA, rebuildable, not upgradeable... the 4200 are DA... i was also considering the 5100, which are SA, and upgradeable to DA and TA, and external resevoir... but they're $700 more, and i doubt i'll be upgrading anytime in the near future

They look similar to the Megan racing rear bump steer kit which I run but they don't mention bump steer correction. I'd go with Megan with bump steer correction since you're in an AP1 (more bump steer than AP2). I'm able to get -3 camber in the rear with mine--I'm not running SPCs in the rear.
