Please explain where and how one would adjust caster based on that last image 'cause I just don't see it. The rear mounting point looks just like the stock style rear mounting point.

It looks like the front mounting point is a heim joint that can be moved in or out, thus changing your caster.

Ok, sure. But we were talking about independent caster and camber adjustability. Otherwise your caster and camber are tied together and you still need a top plate.
Quote:
I eliminated it with a bracket that when the rear bolts are loosened, slide the rear of the arm to the desired alignment specification you wish to obtain. Mark it, set your front end to correct misalignment and camber. When they are shipped, they are marked and set very close to stock specs. Of course every car is different. I hope you guys are understanding me, let me know if I lost ya!-Jason
^^^I just want a picture of this cause the above images don't show it.

There's really no practical way to adjust caster from the bottom and not have some affect on camber. I would say the top plates should be a given if you're running a car at the level where you need arms like these. If for nothing else, to solidly mount the top of the strut.
From the way the message was worded I thought you were simply looking for the pic of how the caster is adjusted.

I know camber and caster will always affect each-other when done at the bottom. But in the quoted statement we are lead to understand that this arm allows independent control over both the front and rear mounting positions so that by playing the two adjustment points off of each other one could get their desired caster/camber combo. From the image, I don't see the rear adjustment point that was referred. I'm asking for pics showing exactly where and how that works cause it just looks like the stock rear mounting point to me.

Quoting belize1334:

I'm not looking to argue with you Roger but based on the quoted question above and the image it was referencing, I answered the question in an attempt to try to clarify it for you.

If you read my original post I stated those are the drag version with no caster adjustment at the rear.

Ah, that explains it. When you do get a set together with the rear mount adjustability I'd very much like to see a picture.

I'm down for a group buy... If the price is right it'll help liven up the 17 year old suspension parts I got going on.
Update for guys that have placed orders.
With weeks of dealing with incorrectly machined ball joint plates we finally have a new design due to the ignorant fabrication shop that made my plates. We now use a cup style ball joint end. Control arm design has slightly changed and is actually a few ounces lighter. We will have all the orders complete and ready tomorrow evening. I sincerely apologize for the delay but we don't want to sell junk to get a product to you in a timely fashion. I would rather hear some complaining about time than a broken part and smashed car.

Any news? He tried calling almost two months back but I was at work and couldn't talk. I called him when I got out of work and didn't get a hold of him.
