Do all lowered cars need a camber kit? How much was the install and where did you get the kit.

Got the kit from speedybenz on this forum.

Kit was $260 and install was $250....small price to pay to keep your tires from an early death.

Plus squared the car up.

Not sure if every lowered car needs'em, but I would guess so.

Speedybenz is a member here. Here is the pertinent info:

The Camber Kit for the rear could be shipped out Monday of next week. The cost is $260 shipped and most people use Paypal. The account is: Kimdac@aol.com.

Please send me your address.

Thanks for your interest.

I bought a set from him, he seems like a good guy. He builds the kits at home after work so sometimes you won't hear from him for a while.

yeah! I have been running mine for a month....still perfect. What a great improvment. Not to mention, I am about to change the suspension again, thus, they will need to be moved again...no doubt!
Great product Speedy
