    Does anyone know if adjustable control arms are still available anywhere?

    You should only need them if the car is lowered. If your camber is way off and the car is NOT lowered these adjustable rear lower arms are not meant to fix that. Usually means something is bent or badly worn. If the car IS lowered you MUST have them and properly adjusted to get good tire wear and handling.

    Yes, my car is actually being lowered at the moment by DMCNW. Mike has told me that it is NOT essential that I use adjustable arms. In fact, he indicates the handling improves a bit because of the altered stance, although tire wear could be an issue. When I get the car, I'll be watching for poor tread wear on the inside. If that starts to happen, I'll get the adjustable control arms.

    You are being improperly informed on this. With the dmch kit the camber is thrown severely out of alignment. This is not a driving advantage and will cause excessive wear very quickly. We correct this for owners who are sold this configuration regularly. I believe this is because the adjustment configuration is not something they offer and it would cause issues with the over the counter sales of their suspension package.

    Fair enough, I'll be checking with them ASAP. Thanks for you help!
