So what's "racer list"? And will Cork Sport be stocking these or will we all have to get them from a dealer?

Ah. So no chance of us getting them for that price, then. (sad2)
Well, keep us posted on what you find out. Eibach is pissing me the hell off, so I may just go with the MS parts.

sorry, just found this thread.....rear camber kits available?!?!?! Since I put my new wheels/tires on I notice the camber SO much more. I have a question though...do you think this will pull the bottom of the wheel toward the center of the car? or push the top further out? Cuz I am not sure I can afford the top to be out any further or I will rub so bad

It pushes the top out. That's the only way to fix the camber on these cars.
The MS parts are not a "camber kit" in the strictest sense of the term. It's just a set of new upper control arms that are slightly longer to bring the camber back out.
It's still not adjustable, but you shouldn't have to adjust it. Since the MS springs drop about the same as the Eibach Pro-Kit, these links should work fine for anybody with either of them. If you have the Eibach Sportlines or some other spring that drops more than 1.25 inches, then these links may not bring your camber back into spec.

Yep. Like I said, that's the only way to fix the camber on these cars.
Did you get new wheels with a really low offset or something?

well this is kinda very important to know. if you are getting springs, get the pro-kits or some with similar drop or you will have to live with the camber issue. That made my decision much easier. it is pro-kits then.
now the price seems a bit stiff. it may not even matter cause its so expensive, are the eibachs supposed to be this expensive?

I've heard that the Eibach kit is going to be around $130... if they ever make the damn thing.
Every time I call, they push it out another two months. Current line of crap is availability in October, but they've been feeding us that same :bs: since last November.
Anyway, you can get a lower drop, you just have to make sure you have the proper offset on your aftermarket wheels. For a 7" wide wheel, +40 isn't going to do it. +45 would be pressing your luck. +48 should fit with no problems.

Yeah, the extra half inch wider that you went is going to make all the difference. With that offset and width, your wheel is pushed out about 3/4" further than stock. A 7" wide wheel with a 48 offset is less than 1/2" out.

Cool. Thanks for the pic. They aren't as sexy as the picture in the catalog but what can you do.
The only hard part is removing the innner bolt on the right side. The carbon canister is in the way and it's a b**** to get it out of the way. That one bolt easily took me as long as the rest of the job.
