5g front camber ball joint

Post by palo_lude » Sun Nov 18, 2012 8:14 pm

hi there guys,
looking for something to adjust camber in the front on my 5g. at the moment I would prefer probably adjustable ball joints like these from eibach http://www.suspensionconnection.com/cgi ... t-kit.html
however it seems impossible to get these or anything similar in Europe, only available in states...
does anyone know about any shop selling these in Europe?
seems simply too small to bother with all the usual importing procedure from states :-?

thanks,
pavol

thanks guys for your fast offers.
it looks like I will stay with current negative camber for a while and see how it impacts the tires... it seems negative camber transformed the car in a good way, so I actually enjoy it more now.
anyway, thanks a lot.

Why you don't ask any lude guy on a forum in the states to send them to you??

hi Ferdie,
at the moment not getting any for my car...
I am just tiny bit out of factory spec in terms of negative camber. first I wanted to deal with it immediately as I was worried about tire wear... but later realized that improved handling is not so much due to different springs but due to negative camber. and it turned out I actually like my car this way better. it is much more stable/faster in corners, under steer is unknown term now.
so I will wait and see if tire wear is ok. if yes I will not bother to buy these...

unless someone else with similar experience can suggest better strategy ;)
