C5 fabricated upper or lower wishbones to get more camber?
I am after more camber than the stock wishbones can give, is there anyone out there that does either a fabricated upper or lower or both wishbone setup that will bolt up to the standard mounting point so that I can achieve more camber on the front of my C5 race car?

4 is way too much to me. With my Pfadt polys (which have off-set in the upper dogbones) I was at high 2s. Then I installed coilovers and lowered the car more which put it in the mid 3s. I flipped the upper mounts to get back to high 2s (2.8). This is on a NASA ST2/TT2 prepped race car with aero on 315 A6s.

Pfadt went bankrupt unfortunately. I run 1/16 toe out per side up front and 1/16 toe in per side in the rear.

I run -2.5 camber all around on 315's and -2 on full 280 or 305 slicks with spherical bearings. With poly I would up it at least .5 degrees.

The track record results are on the NASA Midwest and Great Lakes website.
Ridetech wanted results before moving into the C5/C6 market and producing parts.
The original C5 was good, but it can be improved.
The "A" arms do more than add camber.
They control the migration of the roll center.
Ridetech is working to produce parts for 2015.
They may do separate kits.
1. Shocks, regular and coil-over
2. Upper arms
3. Upper amd lower arms
If this is of interest, let Ridetech know.
Thanks Jim M.
