Default Adding negative camber on lowered S2000 ?

Can someone clarify if BOTH these parts are needed to achieve negative camber on a lowered s2000. Is the principle the same for front & rear.


For Front:

(1)Hardrace/Megan Front adjustable upper control arm




(2)Hardrace/Megan Front roll centre adjusting ball joints, with offset camber






For Rear:


(1)Hardrace/Megan Rear-Upper adjustable camber arms



(2)Hardrace/Megan Rear Roll Center Adjuster

You don't need new control arms. Camber joints replace the upper ball joints in the front, allowing you more camber. The rear, on the other hand, can already achieve about -3*. If you need more, you could get this whole kit, for both front and rear. But for most cases, just a camber kit for the front is needed.

Your wrong, the ball joints for the front shown go on the bottom.

I'm at -3.5 in the front with the J's version of these balljoints and the rear is at -3.0 with stock balljoints installed.

Not sure how much more you want.

You're right, the J's and Megan/Hardrace go on the bottom, but the SPC joints I mentioned mount on the upper control arm.

What bushes would you guys recommend changing while doing all suspension work, i.e. coilovers, sways, rca, bsk etc. Im thinking i might as well do the bushes while im at it. (car has 130k's)
