And they only fit Porsche/TRW arms, or aftermarket with the exact bushing diameters, Meyle has slightly larger and so these won't work with them.

I think powerflex makes an eccentric poly bushing... Much better pricing...

Not much better pricing

still $150 less - thanks for that find. i guess i was not aware of this because everybody says that the gt3 arms are the way to go. but for a street/track application all you really need is a little bit more, so something like this should do the trick. i'm currently around -2.8 at the front at m030 ride height, eccentrics full out and camber plates full in - how much more negative camber do you think 6mm will get me?

I heard 10mm of shims on a GT3 arm gives an extra -1 degree of camber so I would guess that same ratio, if it is truly offset 6mm, then an extra -.6.

I have GT3 arms I got them used, but nowhere near $250, if it works for you it would be a good $$$ saver and a good alternate solution.

I'm at USA M030 height and running -3 front/-2.5 back and plan to stay there for a while, it seems to be a good match with the Hankook R-S4 I've been running.
