Default Thoughts on Front Camber kits?

I was at the track yesterday - the same track as whodkne and MCPAudiTT actually - and was running my brand new Nitto NT-01 track tires. They wore a TON on the outside edges and I realized that I need more front negative camber than my stock setup can give me. Right now, maxed out, I can get only -0.9 degree of camber and I need at least -1.5 or even -2 for these track tires to start wearing evenly across the whole tire.

Coilovers to drop the car will be coming but not for a little while, so for now I am looking for an option for my stock suspension to get me more negative camber in the front without dropping a ton of money. A few options I have found...

<a href="http://www.k-mac.com.au/">K-MAC Camber/Caster Plate</a>

<a href="http://www.ingallseng.com/">Ingalls Engineering</a> <a href="http://www.ingallseng.com/Instructions/35655.pdf">Part #35655</a>

This <a href="http://www.drivewire.com/performanceparts/Eibach/audittquattroalignmentkit.html">Eibach Kit</a> I found

Or the <a href="http://www.ground-control-store.com/products/description.php?II=653"> Ground Control Camber/Caster Plates</a> that <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1203124.phtml">everybody</a> <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1441003.phtml">here</a> <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1623820.phtml">has</a>

Has anybody used the K-MAC plates yet or is the Ground Control the best way to go?

Thanks!

Default You realize I assume...>>>

any camber change results in toe change as well and needs to be compensated for,for best results. For a real trackside quic (?) set-up you'll need a Smart Camber toos as well as a set of Toe plates..

Default The best the alignment shop could get was -1.0(R) and -0.9(L)

I am looking for something around -2 for the track.

Default :) I was already looking at those.

I get the camber tool, but how hard is the toe to measure and modify?

I am thinking about doing a different alignment for the track and the street. If anything it will give me practice for future racing setups I will do on future dedicated race cars.
