Camber Kit Suggestions... - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

I lowered my '98 gsx a couple months ago and recently realized I have a camber wear issue. I've had numerous dsm's and this is the first time I've had to deal with this. My question is what recommendations do you guys have for the kind of camber kit I should get. A simple realignment isn't going to fix it so I need a kit. To anyone who knows anything about it, I'd greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Ok so where is it wearing from?

It's wearing from the inside of the tire. It's worse in the front than in the back. I'd say there's a solid 1 1/2-2 inches of wear off the front tires.

Adjustable camber bolts for the front and adjustable rear control arms for the back. Problem solved.

You can actually shim the rear upper control arms with washers and longer high strength bolts to pull some of the rear camber out. Front camber adjustment will be done with adjustable or offset upper control arm ball joints.

THIS. Nothing else. Rear adjustable UCA's are damn near impossible to find. Shims are your best option and just as good really.
