I'm real interested in this. I keep going back and forth whether to pay the price for these (exchange ratio not in my favor) and I do have a brand new set of ford arms here.
However, with adjustable camber, I�m sold. Saves using camber kits on the strut mounts.
What part number did you order to get these? How much camber adjustment is available? Do they have a picture of the camber adjustment mechanism on their website (I couldn�t find one)?
This sounds like a good product for us.

I still don't understand why anyone would want polyurethane bushings on the 2-bolt arms. . . it goes counter to all smart suspension tuning. Granted, the 2-bolt arms start it down that road anyway, but still, no sense in making a bad thing worse.

The seemingly total lack of other options - except of course the OEM arms, known to not hold up well with a lowered suspension.
What parts of "smart suspension tuning" do these arms violate? I'm not doubting it, just trying to decide if the trade-offs are justified. If nothing else, I think these arms should help reduce wheel-hop under turbo 3L acceleration and should practically never need replacement.

Replacement issues is the reason i am getting these because i have gone through 3 of these in 3 years and i am just getting pi$$ed off of changing them.
As for the arms guys i will be getting the first set they make so there is no pics anywhere at the moment. Deflex told me the camber adjustment will be at the ball joint end and thats about all i know at the moment. I think it must be better than the SPC kit.
The price is a little more with the camber at �£260.
As soon as they are with me i'll get some pics up as i said.

Too bad adjusting camber by pulling in the control arm will crush the drive axles.

Ahh, if only Deflex had you on their engineering staff.
I hope whatever they make is pretty damn robust as you do not want a ball joint failure. The arm pictured looks "bullet proof" to me - without camber adjustment.
