Got some adjustable rear camber brackets as my cars standard brackets are giving the car posiative camber.. anyway got some from north west minis and they are wank the holes dont line up and they dont feel very strong.. I put the old ones back on and they fit first time.

So what's the concensus KAD still the best. The posts I have searched on here say KAD but the were a while ago. Will all of them need need fettling?
Thanks all.

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

You must know by now you get what you pay for, you payed cheap you got cheap [ read shite china ] as you say,
KAD are a UK manufacturer and as such expect it to fit, they just wouldn't send something out that wasn't a good fit i'm sure,
i try not to,lol

apparently the KAD ones are the best of the bunch, then minispares.

the only trouble with the minispares is that they all need the holes filing out to fit properly, i've fitted them to 3 different cars and each needed fettling.

I quite like the minisport ones, (a rip of of the KAD ones) but they seem to need fettling too.

I've got the Minispares ones and I thought exactly the same. They don't fit and even when I had spent hours making the holes line up it is almost impossible to get the bolts in even with the radius arm at the limit of adjustment. I'm not sure I want to put them back on my car as they are so difficult to fit. The KAD ones look good but they don't hold the camber adjustment while you adjust the toe.

I have the kad ones and they needed fettling (not much mind) to get the holes to line up. on a gen subframe looks like they all the same.

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

KAD ones look VERy beefy amd would be my choice. Minispares ones are too "cheap". MiniSport ones looks rather OK, but I'd still buy the KAD ones.

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem.

the minisport version on the web site looks like the same material as the ones I have... and I dont want to risk it again. Looks like KAD is the way to go.

This is not a new problem. I bought a set of the minispares ones back in 1998 and the holes needed elongating. Why the fuck, 12 years on are we still having the same problems!!!!

Every pair of Minispares ones I have fitted have required trimming - the KAD ones are a pain to set as they have no bolts to guide the toe/camber - must be time for someone to make a set based on both designs
