my previous MY05 was not far from my MY08. less but not far..

 

Yes 2,5 degrees is certainly possible, mine maxed out slightly over 2 with a one inch drop.
But if the RC and camber adjusters was mounted the wrong way it seems highly unlikely that you would get that kind of camber though.
Are you sure that the J's version you got are offset and not symmetrical?

 

This might be it, these are the offset ones:



Which look a lot more asymmetrical than yours:

 

The photo is very helpful, thanx. I think you are very correct. I remember mine being symmetrical. Mine does not take that kind of angle, just sits there vertical.

I am afraid that maybe I made a mistake on my order and I bought only roll center adjustment with out camber kit. I don't know if js sell the same kit, with out offset balljoint. I don't even remember mine to be thicker from the one side. I remember that I said to my local j's dealer that I wanted a roll centre adjustment and I didn't consider to tell him also WITH A camber joint. I took for granted, that js has one kit for roll centre adjustment and camber kit in one piece, but I don't know if they have also a kit for roll centre adjuster ONLY with out offset balljoint,....do they????

 

I might be interested if you wanted to sell these and buy new ones

 

hahaha, Monday I ll take them out to see whats going on and I will update the topic. stay tuned. for sure if they are symmetric will be up for sale

 

Did some searching and it seems they used to have kits that just adjusted camber, but the new ones does both camber and roll center.

Just get under the car and take a new picture parallel with the wheel and it should be easy to judge if they are asymmetrical and installed the right way.

 

just some thoughts, after talking with the local js dealer (good friend of mine), I think the mistake was made by me through my order. Monday when I will remove the js rca from the car will verify my memory that my rca is summetrical with NO offset ball joint.

Unfortunally my car is at a friend's house and I will have it tonight, that's why I cannot take new photos. But even if I had the car, I wouldn't bother to check the rca. I want to take it out and check to be 100% sure and also to take some photos for you guys as reward for bothering your minds those 2 days. Thanx guys

Now this is the rca I ordered - CAJ-S1-S1



Now forget the blue and red, the red ones are the new ones. According to js S1 can MAX to -2 or -3 degree, depending on the ride height. So there is nothing wrong with my installation or the product, everything works perfect. (max camber -2,6 my car sits on descend drop, with 1cm more drop I am sure rca will give me -3 degree camber). That's why I believe and I remember that the s1 is symmetrical with out offset balljoint.

Now js rca S2 product has an offset balljoint and can max to -3 to -5 degree again depending on the ride height.

Below you can see some photos of the MY08 OEM part. Even some guys don't believed, but I am pretty sure I could get easily on OEM MY08 suspension and OEM ride height camber at -2,5 degrees.









OEM suspension, OEM ride height, -2,5 degree camber



Now all of the above is just some thoughts Monday or Tuesday I will know the truth.

Thank you ALL OF YOU GUYS for your patient and your informations

 

Ive got some offset camber Hardrace ones brand new if your interested.


My car isn't massively lowered so apart from the bump steer issues there wasn't any real gain to fitting these.

 

Thanks for the offer but Monday I am ordering the js s2!!
