Nope but I'd say they wouldn't give much range of adjustment.

I'd rather take my rear end out and fit Baz's DIY kit.

I think I have years back :? .
we removed a complete rear end from a rusty 1600 that the car sat low but didnt have too much neg camber ( the only thing that may have been changed was these bolts). we fitted into my friends datto and it corrected the camber a fair deal.

I had a mate who installed some of these in his rally car. Worked alright.
Was quite hard to adjust though.
Saying that the datsport kit is hard to adjust aswell. it pulls only on one side.

You have trouble adjusting the ARC kit?
Thats strange you are the first to report that.

Our wheel aligner reckons its piss easy.
Are you releasing the pivot bolt nut sufficient.?

When the wheel aligner and i was making adjustments we would loosen the pivot nut, then make the approx change with the adjusting bolt and when the pivot nut was locked down again the alignment would change slightly. We put it down to the adjusting bolt only pulling on one side.

how much was slightly?
I will check this when getting the next alignment.
May be the method used.

I think we were getting changes of around .5-1mm toe.
Maybe it was just the method we were using.
Do you take the weight off the wheels when doing adjustments?

I have got to put it back on the aligner in the next week, so ill try again and get back to you.

Never had a problem with the ARC. I think you are loosening the bolts too much when adjusting. I find undoing them until just lose and then half a turn tight is the best way.

The adjustable bushes are good if you can make them stay, you might have to use different bolts/washers to make sure they dont move. I bought a set of nolathane ones for $107 from repco, didnt end up using them though.
