Camber Kit Question
I'm in need of a camber kit, expecially for the back as my wheels are cambering 6 degrees. From what I've read on the board, camber kits don't excit, but when I do a search on ebay, I find this rear kit...http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SPC-R...mZ230292374962. Has anyone ever used this kit, and if so, can it work for lowing springs and not just coil overs? Also, does a front kit exist?

yeah you should a more thorough search.
there are camber 'blocks' which go in and as well as lowering your car, they also have offset holes for varying amounts of positive camber adjustment.
alternatively companies such as Nagisa Auto and Mode Parfume etc from Japan do complete replacement rose jointed arms which allow a very large amount of adjustment. these are normally 5-600$ + though before shipping

Has anyone tried these? They seem like they are a pretty good option if you don't want to get the Exact RCAs. From doing a quick search on google, SPC seems to make pretty good quality products...based on what reviews I could find on their camber kits for other makes/models in various forums. You could get a kit along with installation for what looks to be less than the Exact RCAs alone.

Sorry to hijack your thread here but should I be getting RCA's or some type of camber correction if I lower my car using NF210's... I'm currently riding on 19x8.5 upfront and 19x9.5 on the rear... I'd like my tires to last me as long as possible... After taking off my OEM wheels I noticed the insides were slightly worn out more than the outsides... I thought an alignment would be all I needed to fix this but if I'm lowering do I need new hardware? What do you guys recommend?

It depends on how much of a camber correction you're looking for (currently and in the future). Do you know how much negative camber your set up has?

im using the spc ones, they only correct about 1 degree more than stock.
if u got 6 degrees of camber, then ur seriously canned. the exact motorsport camber kits are meant to be used with coilovers BECAUSE the camber blocks actually lower ur car further, and thus the coilovers are to adjust the height back up.

It should be noted that there is a difference between "camber kit" and "RCA" (ROLL CENTER ADJUSTER)
The difference is , while the camber kit can correct your camber (sometimes not as much as you need , as noted by SorrGwa)
- The RCA actually corrects the suspension geometry by bringing it back closer to the way it was engineered to be , while also providing lowering and camber correction , they are also easier to install than the elliptical bushing etc.
If you are only looking to avoid uneven tire wear , then a C/K can help .
If you want your car to handle to it's full potential then maybe RCA
Another positive (no pun intended!) side affect of the RCA's is , they bring the lower balljoint back straighter , improving it's already short life.
I have the exact RCA , and I love the result , actually when I raised the car a bit , I had to add neg. camber with the stock adjusters!

Im dont like to damage OEM parts in case I need to return back to stock...so i wouldn't do this mod...plus, it only provides a nominal correction.
You need a RCA kit.
