Without any protection from the elements those spherical bearings are not going to last long on a road car.

Yeah. Was thinking that might be a problem.
Cannot find anything else though. :(

These might give me what I want, so maybe a better plan...

How much camber do you need to run? Unless you are doing some fairly serious stuff on track you realy shouldnt need to be dialing in the amount of camber that these things produce.

Much better off with a set of crashbolts or adjustble camber plates on coilovers imo

what exactly is it you are actually trying to achieve though? as the two products you've linked to do two different things.

the border RCA/camber adjuster is to either just alter the roll centre, or alter roll centre and add negative camber (depending on which way it is installed) and the rose jointed arm is a replacement trailing arm to eliminate the rubber bushes on the stock arm.

The car gets used in TSS. I have Tein on now which has front and rear adjustable pillow ball top mounts.

I do not want to lose the ability to adjust rear camber.

Those spherical bearings on the first product are no different to the Tein front ones that have the same bearing and they last perfectly ok......
