I think VMaxx coilovers only allow height adjustments. Adjustable control arms might be the way to go to adjust the camber settings.

Not to worry, search for a decent (non-bent or damaged) cheap set of used arms in the classifieds. It's a total DIY project too!: http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarti...stallation.htm

I have the H-sport adjustable control arms and they are they best out there and not very expensive. Easy to install, have grease points and superior build quality. Easily can be sold in the forums at a later date to recoupe the majority of your cost since they are almost mandatory on a lowered car.

I thought about building a pair but i figured it would almost cost me more in time then to just buy a pair. So you recommend H-sport? I noticed there was a thread about some control arms and end-links that people have bought off ebay. I thought about giving those a shot. But i haven't bought any yet. Any thoughts? Also your wheels are way good looking. what are they?

Go with the Hsport camber links, I've had customers that have had them for almost 10yrs without wearing them out. They are by far the best, and legal for most racing clases as they have poly bushing in the ends.

If you're talking about Blaxin41, he has ESM-004 here's a link. I posted for him because I also liked his wheels and searched on them yesterday.

Yup, ESM-004's 17x8 et35 on all 4 corners. If you want a bit more dish and want to stance the wheels then you could go 9" in the back.

Yeah with Vmaxx you need lower control arms. I have Vmaxx and Hsport lower arms. They were a better investment than the Vmaxx's.
