Rear Camber Arms with Provisions for Headlight Leveler

I am in the market for a set of rear camber arms, but I have the headlight leveler back there.

Do any of the aftermarket arms have provisions for the leveling sensor? None of them "appear" to have provisions, at least based on the marketing pictures.

Are you replacing all four arms? If not, you probably don't need to change anything as the leveler should be on the upper drivers side arm and only the lowers need replacing to adjust the camber. Upper adjustable arms are needed for more serious handling setups, or for toe problems that can't be corrected with the stock adjusments.

If you're replacing the upper arms, Hotchkis has a small optional bracket that wire ties to the arm. On eBay, Donald the Bonald sells a bracket for his arms. You can also make your own using a clamp, L-bracket, and a ball end from a hobby shop.

Maybe that's why I'm not seeing it. I thought the leveling sensor was on the lower arm!

My plan was to only replace the two lower arms to help with camber adjustment after installation of coil overs.
