I just installed the negative-camber A-arms with the nylatron bushings upon
recommendation from a favorite Moss supplier. The difference is significant.
Turn-in and handling have been greatly improved. I have put about 1,000 miles
on the setup and haven't noticed any unusual wear on the tires (Goodyear
Weatherhandler LS 185/76/R14). Make sure you adjust the toe-in when you
replace the A-arms. I have the spax front shock kit (previously installed),
and am trying to save for the rear kit as well.
I don't race my car, but I do participate in "spirited" driving on occasion.
Any other listers who have tried the negative-camber A-arms? What have been
your results?
