My opinion is that for street use, stick with the K-Mac bushings. The adjustable arms, which are the turnbuckle style IIRC, don't have the rubber (or poly) bushings on each end to absorb vibrations. I recall a thread elsewhere that mentioned the adjustable arms were better suited for race use where they will be inspected very, very frequently and replaced at the first sign of stress failure.

I personally plan to install the K-Mac bushings when I rebuild my rear subframe. I don't intend to get the camber near zero. With my car lowered about 1.5 inches, I'm only at -2.x degrees rear camber, which isn't that bad for tire wear, and is good for handling. The K-Mac should get me to -1.0 which is just fine with me. If you insist on getting near zero, then you may need the adjustable camber arm, but again I wouldn't use those on the street, at least not for a daily driver... maybe a show car?

Just my $0.02...
