Need a Camber Kit for your GS?

I don't think it is because of 'complexity' of the GS suspension, rather it is a business issue.
Besides, coming up with a design that 'works', it also need to be tested (how long the new part will last, how it will behave after intensive driving ...) and then ... how many parts can be sold ...
Big companies will require thousands of parts sales before they will decide to go on with the product development, while a minimum production run may be at least a few hundred sets ...

on polyurethane, i've had problems before with noise and wear, especially on swaybars. even with proper installation and lubrication.

Trust me, it has a LOT to do with it. People that make decisions see this stuff and it can change things 180 degrees at the drop of a hat. More than you can imagine.

Once again, the rear has MORE camber than the front always, and if your rears are ok, then your front shouldn't be wearing significantly worse.

Yes, ask rominl on this one, he can probably give you more input on this as he has now experienced this first hand.
These cars are notorious for wearing out tires even at STOCK HEIGHT. This should be a clue as to what the problem is.

They are making statements about a product that is not yet available, is this even valid? - and perhaps may not ever be due to for lack of a better term, "pre-hating"
This is a sketchy product as far as volume goes IMO, and any negativity surely can't help.
