Offset bushings like steve stated. Challenge and Origin made a set.

Ricky did a install write up, and s2000ellier is selling a set.

What about these? I'm strongly considering myself. Side benefit is they have bearings rather then rubber bushings so smoother and less deflection. Should be easy adjustment on the fly. Cant beat the price either. Megan makes the same thing for twice the cost and they look identical, just blue instead of red.

Offset bushing are hard to install, more expensive and less reliable than the Megan ball joints. Speaking from experience as I had the challenge ones and they blew out on my very quickly.

I've got one that knocks around and has for awhile.

Do you lose tire clearance with SPC uppers? If so, how much tire clearance do you lose? Do you lose clearance inward to the chassis or out?

- No mod points in NASA TT4

- Making extra room for future tire upgrades

- Slightly decreased camber compliance

The only downside so far is that one of the bushings started squeaking after some rain driving. I paint-marked them on install and have not seen slippage after one year/7 track days.
With Hardrace and, I think, J's racing, you can choose whether you want RCA adjustment or not, by choosing whether or not to install a supplied spacer plate.

I'm using the Origin Fab offset bushings, not SPC. I didn't measure changes in tire clearance as I'm still running stock stagger but it moves the top of the wheel inboard, increasing clearance to the fender. The bushings gave an extra degree of negative camber so with a bit of measuring and trigonometry, clearance gain can be estimated.

I still have stock shocks/springs, I am running -3 camber in the front.
