After install.
By: Max Glazer on 15 December 2021Bought these arms and installed them. They look really nice, finish is well done. However the only way to adjust the arms is to remove the wheel from the car. Access from below the car, in case of a normal wheel alignment that is done by most mainstream wheel and tyre shops, is impossible.

By: Max Glazer on 14 December 2021So, purchased these arms. Adjustability of the arm (whole reason to purchase) is not as simple as putting the car on the wheel alignment hoist and move the adjustment. It's NOT easily reached at all. Is fact getting to the adjustment is impossible when the car is in its normal state. To adjust the arm, one must raise the car off the hoist, take off the alignment camera/target, take off the wheel, loosen the lock nuts (two of them), adjust the arm, re-install the wheel, re-install the camera/target, and then see if the angle is correct. Then one does the entire procedure again, only to tighten up the locking nuts (careful not to change the position of the adjustment nut), assuming that the adjustment was sufficient to move the wheel into a desired geometry. And on top of that this has to be done to the wheels individually. That'd take a lot of time and many alignment shops would charge extra for this. Personally I'd suggest to the design team to see if the adjustment can be moved to a more easily-accessed spot. On the plus side install was simple and didn't cause any problems. They look really nice, good quality and well-executed. Four stars I believe are a fair rating for a well-made and well-presented product. Only the ease of adjustment is making it lose one star in my eyes.
