That looks like it came from the factory. Great job!

Got my rear upper adjustable control arms. Overall great product and I was able to get my camber exactly how I wanted it. It's nice knowing you can adjust camber w/o affecting toe. It's a pita when you always have to account for toe changes when you try adjust camber, but no more!

My only gripe was the hardware. With such a small space it was a pita to hold an allen wrench steady while trying to tighten the hex nut. After 2, i said screw it and got a hex bolt for everything. Install went fast and smooth after that.

Trackday this friday to really test everything out.

I don't know why these places insist on using allen bolts haha. SO much easier with bolts. Especially if they have the top that is wider at the bottom like the stock bolts, that way it's held in the socket, even if it's a deep socket.

I'm still trying to figure out how those arms looks on the car. My brain can't wrap around the difference between the stock Y style on the small T style of these. I have a vague idea, but have no idea if it's correct.

Did you see any evidence of your car's stock arms hitting?

I saw light scuff marks on the arms. Didn't see anything on the body. TBH i didn't look that hard on the body, cuz I was so preoccupied with how the hell I was going to fasten everything with a bitty allen wrench.

Then I was so relieved to get them on, I forgot to take pix as I was focused on aligning them afterwards.

I'll get pics of how they are mounted so you can see how they will not hit the body.

Finally was warm enough to finish my alignment.

Also included are pix of the Zerek Control arms and how they're mounted in the car.

Went to Pueblo along with FDEEZ this past weekend. It was perfect weather and the radiant heat from the ground helped develop more grip for my tires. So after a year of trying to beat my previous personal best, I finally did it with a 1:52.87. I think it was my new custom home brew alignment that helped :P

I still can't believe how much grip your car has...impressive!

Ok, I need a ride on track day. Although my extra weight might slow you down A LOT lol.

Nice lap! I haven't looked at your other videos lately, but it looks like you are braking just a little later going into the turns.

It looks nice and smooth too.

I'm right at 200lbs...and he still managed a 1:53 lap. The speeds he took some of those corners scared me a couple of times. For some reason though...the miata just hooked to the pavement.
