Installed the "second generation" K-MAC eccentric trailing arm bushings couple years ago to gain some camber/toe adjustment in rear. As far as I can tell, the have same problem as earlier version -- they just won't stay tight! And the interval for the bolt check is now down to a month.
I'm currently planning to scrap them in favor of Ireland Engineering's adjustable camber and toe kit that will be welded to rear subframe. (Dinan's is virtually identical but -- of course -- more expensive.) Probably what I should have done in the first place...

I'm installing my this weekend..I would be happy to let you know how it goes, but I you are probably moving forward anyway.
If you have alignement setting that you have found to work for street / track day applications and don't mind sharing...I would appreciate it.
I'm glad I sent those K mac rears back the day I got them

By all means, I'd appreciate your keeping me posted. Are you going with the Ireland's peices or Dinan's?
I'd like to get 2.0 degrees negative camber and total toe-in of 1/16" in rear.
Good luck!

only 2 degrees?
Man.
Pyrometer readingss tell me that I could use something well in excess of 3...

We're talking rear, not front.
In front -- at least for autox -- I'll go with 3.25 to 3.50 degrees negative camber and zero toe.
In back, with my trailing arm rear suspension, I'd like to end up between 2.0 and 2.5 degrees.

Neil | I was talking rear.  I've got 2 degrees right now, and the outside edges are over 40 degrees hotter than the inside edges on the track. 4-4.5 seems to work pretty well up front.
