Best camber kit?

That's really to much camber for the rear anyways. Even if your were tracking it.

hey guys... does anyone have any insight about a using a camber bolt in the rear instead of replacing the arm?

my aftermarket shop suggested this to me, but I thought I'd hop on here and ask people with experience before I went placing orders

Put the arms on they are super easy to adjust ,exactly like a tie rod end.

I'm not sure if they make camber bolt for the 370

But the adjustable camber arms bolt in exactly in the same spot as the oem but it has an adjustment that lengthens it or shortens it.

I do all my own work on my car including suspension and alignment so for some one who works on cars for a living told you to use a camber bolt instead I would ask them why and I bet you they don't have a real good reason,Spc makes really good stuff it is not junk all my suspension parts that were replaced were replaced with Spc.

Usually when lowering our cars it increases negative camber to to the point the camber bolts don't have enough adjustability to get back to spec. We all know that. What I'm getting at is once you use the after market camber arms and get back to spec or whatever you desire the next alignment after that they could just use the camber bolt to adjust. Most likely your camber won't be off that much to get correct. Either way it doesn't matter.

I just installed swifts last weekend and ONLY did the camber arms. When i went to get the alignment the technician said that the toe was adjusted back to stock specs and everything is still fine as of today

SPC and Eibach are clones.

Their website currently shows ony rear camber arms. They do offer LOWER front control arms but that calls for some serious cash. I didn't see upper arms that are the subject of this thread.

Voodoo13's front camber arms have been announced and are now available for pre-order. Pricing is a little bit lower than SPL's but still in the same range. Looks like currently, these two are the only ones that offer adjustment while installed and more stability in keeping that setting.
