Thanks guys. I'll check out those curves when I get back to the hotel, I'm still working and they have websense to block the photo sharing sites.

Man, it sounds like the S2 is the way to go but I can't find them for love or money.

Interesting curves, thanks! These were measured by moving the suspension through its arcs? What was the caster setting? I guess the stock adjusters weren't maxed out?

Also, it seems the S2 only added a bit over 2 degrees? Or were the adjusters changed to different settings?
Correct, these measurements were taken by moving the wheels through their travel. The front camber eccentric was maxed out in both cases. I think the published camber increases are a little exaggerated...

The rear camber eccentric was set to produce about 2.1 degrees of negative camber at stock ride height.

The front caster was about 5.6 degrees the last time I measure it, which hints that my bushings are worn/tearing.

^Were the dampers installed for these measurements? (Would it matter?)

Evasive had them in stock a couple months ago...

I bought mine from N1 Concepts; they were the first one that had them available. They're a board sponsor.

Yep, already tried N1 and evasive and one other board sponsor - all are out of stock and no idea when they'll come in next (although N1 thinks it'll at least be in the next couple months - everyone else had no idea).

But, I found them at Speed Alliance so I just got them ordered

The dampers were not installed when I took the measurements. It only matters in that I was able to go beyond the bump travel limits of the dampers and bump stops. Granted the difference wasn't much, but the tire was heavily contacting the fender/liner at the far extent of compression while taking the measurements.

Has anyone looked into the specifics on the Hard Race lower adjustable ball joints? (much less than the J printed on it)

I have the Science of speed adjustable upper control arms with -3.5 lowered and maxed out.
I think I want to go back to stock uppers and to the lower adj. ball joints.
