Well,
I have to say I am disappointed with the Ikeya arms. I was a bit worried when I laid them down side by side last night as they seemed to be the same length when the Ikeya was adjusted to it's shortest length. My suspicions were confirmed when I went to do an alignment this morning. I am able to get another half a degree of adjustment from these highly regarded arms. So I have 2.5deg neg camber on the passenger side, and 2 degree neg on the drivers side.
I am now committed to improving this, by hook or by crook. I am going to do what an old racer recommended a year or so ago. I am going to widen the slot the eccentric bushes slide in to by a millimeter or so on the outboard side to see if I can gain some adjustment. I plan to start on the drivers side with the aim of at least getting the adjustment equal at 2.5 degrees.
Should this fail to satisfy me, I am going to do the same to the Ikeya arms and try to gain another millimetre or so of adjustment.
