That is a good price Jack. I haven't gotten mine to the shop yet but mine quoted me between 3 and 4 hundred depending on how close it is. I need to get it over there this week.

Unfortunately I'm only able to get -1.3 up front and -1.2 in the back...

I've been thinking about getting a pair of Elephant "decambered" ball joints. Does anybody recommend these?? They advertise "up to 3/4 degree" of added negative camber...

Jack,

I think the Elephant ball joints and Smart Racing's Camber-King mono-ball stut brace will gain you up to 3.0 up front. However, I do not think either is legal if you plan on racing in a PCA stock class.

I have the polybronze bushings any they are a good product. No more bushing squeaks and paired with the monoballs, gives a very direct feel. The car transitions very quickly. I've also been thinking about the Elephant Racing ball joints. I have -2.0 up front, but would like about a -0.25 more. My car doesn't fit in a stock PCA class anyway.

Sjanes,

Thanks for the input. Do you know if your monoballs had any affect on camber?

The front monoballs replace the stock camber place and allow for more neg camber (http://www.elephantracing.com/suspen...amberplate.htm). I don't think they are legal for stock PCA classes.
