Description
The ND's factory alignment range is often a limiting factor when trying to achieve the desired negative camber on a track car. The stock range allows up to approximately -1.5° of camber depending on your other suspension settings (ride height, caster, etc.). These offset camber bushings replace the concentric steel bushings found in the front steering knuckles and shift the range of camber adjustment toward increased negative camber by approximately 2.3°. That means they allow up to -3.8° camber depending on your other suspension settings.
This kit covers both sides of the car by providing two lower bushings, two upper bushings, and matching backing plates for proper installation. All parts are made of stainless steel and include indexing marks to aid in properly aligning the bushing. Be aware that the installation is a bit of a job, as the bushings are a press-fit. You will need to use shop tools such as a press or a ball joint installation tool.

Would highly recommend these camber bushings for a track-prepped or built autocross car. Had a local shop press them in, and was surprised to see that after the bushing swap, the camber initially read over -5 degrees in the front! (The shop previously maxed out the stock adjustment on stock bushings somewhere in the -2s using a trick suggested by Andy Hollis).
After the bushing swap, we backed the alignment down a little, as other users have mentioned. I'm eager to try these out for SCCA solo events and HDPE on track. Thank you Flyin' Miata for selling a solid SS set instead of a composite set with metal sleeves. Our local SCCA-club mechanic was glad the Fling' Miata products were solid metal bushings, since he has had issues with other products that only had metal sleeves but were not solid stainless steel.
In retrospect i could have just installed the upper offset mount which would have given me all the camber I want for my 30mm lowered street/track setup. I had the shop install them for max negative camber (of course), and at my ride height my desired camber of -3.5 was about the *minimum* negative camber they could get.
For street/track cars, might be a better option to just install the upper offset insert to allow for less camber for street...
Anyway, great product, works great, vastly preferable to running offset c/a bushings!
Took to a shop to install, wasn't cheap but much more negative camber now. They maxed it out at -3.9, brought it back to -3.0. Makes such a big difference on track!
Working in a friends garage we managed to only get the top bushing on each side installed due to running out of time and not having the correct tools needed. But with just the top bushing it gave 0.7 deg on each side which was what I needed. Took it out to a local track and immediately felt the difference. Previously the tire wear was hard on the shoulder and with the added camber it evened out.
I am really happy with these offsets. I was concerned on the poly style bushing. These are the ticket. I did have to pay to have them installed though. I do not have a press. Took 2 seconds of my best lap time with out even breaking a sweat. Fronts are now -3.5
