interested in jumping on the group buy, but i called merchants and they wont install an aftermarket camber kit on my car since they can only go by stock alignment specs.

i dont have a garage, otherwise i'd be more motivated to install this myself.

how easy/difficult is the install? and how do i make the adjustments after? (sorry, i'm completely in the dark when it comes to DIY suspension stuff). i currently am sitting on H&R coilovers.

Phister: any thoughts of a DIY thread?

if i can find a way to install and get everything aligned properly i'll probably get it.

That's weird, since this is what you need to get you back into factory spec.

Ill see what I can come up with... the easiest way to adjust is to loosen the locking nuts on each bushing and using a wrench to turn the body of the kit. Once you have the desired length or camber tighten the locking nuts. Guess its icy out ill write up a DIY

My CO's are coming in but I don't plan on slamming it.. preferably want to keep a 1 finger gap all around. Will I be running so much negative camber that I'll need these?

I would recommend getting them because you'll be lowering your car past its normal height and our OEM arms can't adjust that much for an alignment unless you get flute bolts from the dealership which will help with alignment.

Yeah, I was thinking there'd be some inevitable stress involved due to the car being lowered. I'd rather be safe than sorry so I'll most likely pick one of these camber sets up. Thanks for the info!

Congrats Melvin, looks like a successful sale! Build a quality product at a fair price with no BS and they will come.

Let us know when Xhale orders his set so we can all have a good chuckle

Lol I think he'll get his top speed p1 ones from ebay. From looking at them on ebay they look just the same but just covered in paint and have their logo on it. I dont like the small area that you can adjust the camber with on them. I like how Mel made the whole body of the kit hex so you can just take a wrench to it and adjust it from any point.

Thanks Big C!!

Your comments are exactly why I started doing this and why I've tried to make it better. Sometimes I wish I were more of a salesman though....

I hope you can make it out Saturday??

I understand your plight. Kind of the situation that plagues so many in my future business... Dentistry. They can teach us how to be world class Doctors, but if you don't know how to run your business... then you're as good as finished before the day you start.

As far as this crowd goes though, you did exactly what you should have. Presented a product without any fuss, let a couple people ask some question, a couple mock it... the 'guru's pop in, give it some props, and its as good as gold. Obviously this wouldnt have happened if it werent for you providing the product and price as I said though. Nonetheless, I'm anxious to hear more about what it is you do! And I'll be there to talk to you on Saturday! Can't wait. I'll give you a holler tomorrow night to get some more info from you.

Peace!!
