Default Adjustable track control arms

Hi all,

Just wondered if anyone knows where I can get some from so I'm not scrubbing my tyres all the time.

Cheers
Dave

As you lower the car, it puts more negative camber on the wheels which has effect on contact surface are of the tyre to the road. The TCA's can reduce this camber and also stop the tyre wearing like fook on the inner edge.

Or you can go completely the other way and have mass negative camber.

These pay for themselves within a few years, plus the rose joints give a much more responsive feel, and the car corners better due to the correct camber.

Definitely buy a pair.
