Got rid of the Godspeed rear camber arms, they just wouldn't stay tight and were very noisy, Added the Megan Rear camber arm, put the stock endlinks back in because the godspeed ones were crap too, re adjusted my suspension ride height and spring pre load and some new Toyo Tires, got her aligned and Inspected, she feels so much better now. Just waiting on better weather to add the toyo stencils I made at work. ive grown fond of the tire stencils lol

They work well for me for the last few years. I got their adjustable rear toe arms too. Those were much easier to install (no subframe dropping required).

Yea so far they've been great, such a difference than the godspeed ones, I will replace the GS toe arms with the Megan ones soon.
I dont mind dropping the sub frame, such a stupid engineering choice for direction of that bolt but oh well lol

I tried the JBR ones first with the spherical ball joints (I think that is what they are called).

They failed and locked up after a couple months.

The Megan Racing ones have rubber filled bushings with a metal center for the bolt.. similar to OEM.

It works much better for a DD.

You're correct, others use Spherical bearings and a two piece metal bushing, i believe the cork-sport ones do too, that helps make the noise when driving, the bushings aren't snug in the end of the Camber arm, the Megan ones are the same as the hard race ones and come with Noc Washers and solid bushings, way better thread on these too, the GS ones when threaded in snug are still loose cause the thread pitch doesnt match each other.
