I installed a set of J's Racing S2 camber joints this evening. Here's the camber curve before and after the install -
The dashed line is about where the stock ride height sits, ~14.2" hub center-to-fender lip. The fender lip clearance is improved by installing these joints.
Interestingly, I lost some droop travel by installing them. All of these measurements were taken without the coilovers installed, so the extreme ranges of travel may not be normally possible.

How did you measure? Any photos of the setup? I am planning to make a sway bar rate measuring tool using my spring rate tool.

Any chance you can do the rear with the same method?

Thanks for sharing that info. What is the diameter of the saner bar?
How did you measure? Any photos of the setup? I am planning to make a sway bar rate measuring tool using my spring rate tool.

Anyway, I measured the bar length and then the arm length at the different holes, and this program tells you the results. It also has the capabilities to do roll centers, so we plan on doing that sometime over the winter.
I'll find out what the program is called and let you guys know...
