Serious rear camber problem

Trying to press them out looks like it could be very tricky. I'd like to try it on a old bent arm so if I screwed up there'd be no loss. These arms new are expensive.

Must be having senior moment. LarryB just reminded me that he and one of my employees removed a bushing on the press at my shop. Wasn't tricky at all and they did it on a old arm to boot.
As Homer Simpson says, Doh!!!!!! :redface:
 
I'll tell you why. It's very difficullt for one reason, and even if we came up with a kit, half the people who screamed they wanted it, often end up not buying one. Then the poor guy who develops the kit has who knows how many hours of R&D and all the additional cost of having the parts made and keeping them in stock. If the people who say they want these parts would all buy them, then more of these parts would get made to fill this need. Seldom happens however.

If that was the attitude my company took, we would just lock the doors. The most sucessful companies are the ones willing to take risks when they see a demand that is not being met, whether it be this item or a private manned space vehicle.
 
LOL, But we are not talking about that kind of R&D obviously.I would think the investement in R&B could be in the 5,000-10,000 range depending on how simple the item was to develop. Then again, new control arms would run more than that likely to R&D, but a true bolt-on fix like that would be worth more to many consumers.
 
If it really was that easy and worth the effort, then why hasn't Honda done it for the NSX. Basically they rely on aftermarket companies like Comptech to do most of their go fast parts for the NSX because they don't see a return on their investment. It's not an attitude, "it's just business." I love go fast parts too, but I can't afford to be making it for one or two people if the cost doesn't provide me a payback worthy of my time and efforts. Sorry but that's just life.
 
so how low is H&R?
According to website H&R has a 1.5" drop
Eibach has a 1.2" drop

So does HR actually lower more than 1.5" drop?

I just bought Tanabe GF210 and that is spec-ed at 1.3" drop.
So I'm starting to get concern about tire wear after installation.
Better find myself a good alignment place here in So Cal.
 
I believe the H&Rs drop closer to 2 inches, but ICBW. The difference versus the Eibachs is closer to an inch, and very noticeable. I had H&Rs and switched to Eibachs, and am much happier, although I miss the look of the H&Rs.
