Camber kit man, I'm runnin the same, I preferred it over skunk2 b/c there's zero chance of your setting slipping under hard cornering, there are two adjustments depending on how you install it. Get an alignment and you're done.

Just my recommendation for $150 less

It's non-adjustable, depending on how you install it, it will do a mild setting or more extreme, then you have the alignment shop dial the rest in.

My friend and i are gonna talk to the guy with the tires and see if we can work out a deal to get them and the kit.

the thing is, are you really gonna adjust it frequently or w/o an alignment? Are you really gonna need to set it at 5 degree's for a daily driver? I just set mine once, i dont' touch it b/c i don't have $70 to pay for an alignment everytime I want to change it.



BTW whatever you do, get your alignment done same or next day!

I guess its just the bling factor. haha. My buddy said the kit you showed me doesnt have much adjustablity. And if youve seen my camber. I almost gurantee its off more than 1.75 degrees.

That's what an alignment is for, they get more positive camber elsewhere to offset it, but whatever man it's your-$ just tryin to help you out. I was just nervous of the setting slipping as I've read about before.

Yeah not that it's common but it can happen.
sure can, but you can prevent it by using some split lock washers or maybe some nylon lock nuts..

jus why do you need the stealies?

i dont need the steelies. i want those.
But i need the tires. And the guy had bought 16 sets of rims and tires. And as far as i know all the tires are mounted and balanced.

I just read a review. It suggests thread lock.
