Default camber issues

i know of the cpp camber kit, and the k-mac camber kit... do you guys know the differences between these two kits? the price difference is enough to push me towards the cpp, because i know you always get your monies worth. right now my camber isn't that bad(-2.1 drivers side, -1.5 passenger side). if any of you out there have them, let me know how well they work, thanks.

Default What are you hoping to gain?

An adjustment of the subframe will even out the camber to -1.8 on both sides. That's fine.

Are you hoping for more camber for the track or...?

Default i just don't want the excess tire wear...

i've taken my car to a few shops trying to get the camber aligned. this has been the best they could do. plus i wanna lower my car some more this spring.

1.8 shouldn't result in too much more wear. You just need to corner harder. :-P

you'll get more wear by adding more neg. camber. I agree with mark.

Default I have the CCP Upr CA links...

...and if I had to do it all over again, I'd put my money into the kmacs. CCP links clunk and creak like crazy and you gotta lube them often...say every 3mo. or so.

I think he wants to go lower, but reduce the amount of negative camber.

Default No wonder my left side tires are wearing more evenly than right...

...I need to corner left more often.
