Default GP on Hardbar Combo Camber & Stud Kit

Hey Gary
That last GP worked so well how about we try another? Maybe the same deal on the Combo Kits for C5/C6 or the Combo Kit for C6 Z06 only as on the seat rails?

It is time for those winter mods so order your Christmas Present now!!

I am in!

I'm interested, depending on the price. I just got in on the LG Wilwood GP so I'm trying to let my wallet recover. But I can't pass up a good deal

I take it there isn't sufficient interest to make this happen.

We just restocked this product, it is all in. It includes the newest design with black anodized 1/2 inch thick camber plates with laser etched offset labeling, extra long custom 17-4 PH stainless steel alloy upper a-arm studs, stainless steel offset washers, plated grade 10.9 M14 bolts with nyloc nuts and extra thick washers. This is the unequivocally the best camber kit available, bar none, and is made in the USA of the best materials available. I will make the same deal as the seat rail kit, 10 orders equals 10% off and free shipping! This is for the C5/C6 and C6ZO6 (please specify). The C5/C6 shown below:

Well, I'm in for a C5 kit. We've got four people who have expressed interest. I'll post a link to this in the C5 and C6 parts for sale sections.

What about use on a C5 Zo6???

Also is there a link I could look at to see how it installs, and what it does exactly?

Sorry for for ignorance, but I had great results with my camber brace on a C4, and had heard of one on a C5

This is not a brace.

This kit replaces the OEM eccentric bolts that are normally used to adjust the camber with metal shims or plates to adjust the camber. The OEM setup has a tendency to loose its setting if you jar the suspension. With the shim plates and studs you can lock it in and know that it is going to stay at that setting. Also, the shims let you get more negative camber than the OEM eccentrics.

There's also a good description of how the kit works here: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1867266

What is does is lock in the lower a-arms so they don't move under load. The studs replace the bolts in the upper a-arms so that you can easily change the aglinment for track days, etc. The OE cams can and will move when you use sticky tires and slam the curbs. This kit has been used now for 6-7 years and has won at SCCA Pro, Club and Solo levels. Please see the instructions for a further explanation, or call me if you have any questions. The newest design uses rectangular plates as shown below:

Thanks as always,

Thanks for updating the list Hazman, we're on our way now. I've post links to this thread in C5 & C6 parts for sale and general. Man, the things I'll do just to get 10% off something I don't really need. But Honey, I had to buy it now, it was on sale!
