I'm sure I've read that the holes were drilled in line with the subframe, and that they aren't interchangeable. I could well be wrong.

Are the solid neg. camber brackets that bad?

i filed mine upwards about 3/8 of an inch put them back on and given me around 0 deg to .25 camber

with toe on rear mines standard and its fine for fast road use

differnt if racing you will need about 1/16 toein

You need approximately that amount of toe-in always, not just for racing. On the road, any toe-out is potentially lethal as it completely ruins the stability of the car.

From my personal experience, I have only seen these style of brackets break under hard motorsport type of use, and even then its been pretty rare...

Yes there are different quality items and the more expensive ones do fit and are of a far better quality (and havent (yet) seen one break)....

I have had my own rallycrosser hit in the side, the arm bent but the bracket stayed in one piece...

All in all, if fitting these brackets I would favour the KAD ones rather than the 'cheap' ones....
