I just came across these on ECS. Anyone ever use them?

So essentially if I'm looking for just -1.5° camber on the front to fit my wheels, I can get this instead of camber plates? The price has me really interested.

I think so but no wheel push like the LCA/TA upgrade. No one has done this yet so we will see.

The hole in the bushing is offset pushing the ball joint end of the control arm out, essentially making the stock LCA longer. The M control arm achieves the same thing only by making the aluminum part of the arm longer. For a given camber they will both have the same wheel geometry. |

I would think so. You get about the same with LCA but the wheel isn't pushed forward with these.

So, the out come is not great. One of the bushings, no problem. The other side is over machined, and drops straight through the control arm. This is a manufacturing fault.
Luckily, the old ones have gone back. Will have to reach out to ECS and KMAC. Very disappointing that a big company has made such a fundamental error. |

Your car is xDrive, right? How do you like the PowerFlex version on you xDrive? Is the bush stiff enough? Not softer than stock? (I got SuperPro and they seem to be softer that stock)

Well. There we have it. Thank you for trying these. I'm sorry it didn't work out. I hope that you get a replacement or your money back.
Why can't someone get this front suspension figured out?
