Default What are people doing for camber correction?

I see some parts from AWE as a solution, but I'm not quite sure which parts do what.

When I had the stock Avus wheels, I never really noticed how much negative camber my car had from the lowered suspension. With my current 18x8.5 and stretched rubber, I can really see how bad it is.

I'm interested in correcting the camber, but just wondering what everyone has done.

I'm on Koni adjustables with H&R springs.

Thanks.<ul><li><a href="http://www.awe-tuning.com/pages/shared/part_detail.cfm?PMaI=1&amp;PMoI=4&amp;PEI=6&amp;PP =s4_27t_suspension.cfm&amp;PPT=Suspension&amp;IL=C PPAdjust">Adjustable Control Arms from AWE</a></li></ul>

Default LOL! Thanks, but no one has wheel wells as clean as you.

Coming off the assembly line it's already dirtier than yours.

Default I have adjustable control arms from Istook (similar to the CPP ones from AWE).

That's about the only option of which I am aware. I thought that there were some adjustable camber plates, but someone said a few days ago that they won't work on our cars.

Install is relatively easy, but alignment is a major PITA. Expect to pay several hours of custom labor to your alignment shop to get them set right. But once set, they work as intended. Plan to lube them rather frequently, though. But that's as easy as jacking up the front end, squirting the knuckles with lube, and then wiping clean. No wheel removal necessary. I do mine about once per month.
