I bought a kit off member Ghostrider. Helped camber but couldn't deal with the issue of squeaking. Ended up taking them off and thinking of switching to Kmacs. I know a couple other members who have the kit and I guess it's hit or miss with the squeaking. Waiting to get some more feedback on the Kmac's before pulling the trigger

you could hear it when your cruising under 10k rpms....The reason it bothered me so much is because I have to park in a parking garage at work. That echo in the garage made everything 10x louder. Kind of embarrassing! Check out the vid of the squeaking

I tested drive my friend's C55 with K-mac camber installed front and rear. Let me tell you, the whole suspension felt really tighted up at least 30% because of the harder bushing compared to stock bushing. Installation look very easu for me. The kit came with tools to push out the old bushings.
