    Those homemade eccentrics aren't going to work. The bolt and washer need to be one piece, they cannot move independent of one another. Same for the opposite side, you somehow have the lock the adjustment disc to the bolt. The offset washer, or cam motion if you will has to work in unison with each other.

    It more than having an offset spacer, that's going to work loose and your ass is going to get wonky in a hurry.

      I bought it like this. Legend has it, someone hit the PO head on while driving in a parking lot, texting.

        You don't know what you're talking about. My suggestion, stop talking.

                    Wait what's the benifit of doing this on a car with stock hight? I thought this was to adjust rear camber on lowered cars.....maybe I was completely off

                        The ix sits REALLY high. I lowered the car about 1.5 to bring it down to stock IS height. I had to space the rear subframe down with AKG bushings as well.
