Re: camber kit, what do you think?
I agree, why are you wanting to put a camber kit, assuming on your Type R.
If you're trying to correct the camber to save your tires, then you don't need a camber kit. You need to raise up your car and get a proper toe-in/toe-out alignment.

Camber doesn't kill tires as much as many think, it's the toe that kills tires. However, i do agree a camber kit really isn't needed unless the car is tracked, but a tracked car does need it.

I wouldn't say needed, but desired. Ability to change the camber settings depending on track conditions, yes.

Then you need to get it properly aligned as I mentioned. You'll want to take it to a shop where they know what they're doing.

i happen to believe ksport makes a robust product. i've used them for a number of suspension solutions and i've been quite satisfied.

Re: camber kit, what do you think?
Dude...listen to what folks are saying. You DON'T need a camber kit.
If you're doing track days, spend your money on a GroundControl coilover kit instead and get rid of those Eibach lowering/appearance springs.

Re: camber kit, what do you think?
I'll be using a camber kit to bring the camber in to negative more. I track the car, though. I have 0 uneven wear on the street. Just get the toe fixed. Toe is whats eating the inside edge of the tires.

Re: camber kit, what do you think?
Yeah, that's a good point. Its a good idea to get a base line and go from there. Plus, the ITR isn't exactly a camry. Its pretty track ready. Do some general maintenance for safety, and throw in some performance or track brake pads/good fluid and rip it up.
Then as you progress and you can actually see where the car was lacking for your style of driving, you can mod in the right direction.

Re: camber kit, what do you think?
If you ACTUALLY track the car, you'll find there is not enough allowable camber from the factory. I've seen this first hand. I suppose if you drive like a bitch or you don't ever take tracking the car even partially serious, you can just drive ti around the track and enjoy yourself. Anyone taking it even remotely serious will quickly realize there is a need for a camber kit.

Re: camber kit, what do you think?
I just LOL'd.
You have a gross misunderstanding of this car, of what it needs, of what you need, and what you are even talking about. Thanks for not answering a simple question and for the comedy it just brought myself and others who will read it, I thought I was having a bad day until you posted.

Re: camber kit, what do you think?
Maybe you'll get the benefit of your wallet being lighter. Otherwise, there is no need to adjust camber in an ITR unless you are running absolutely slammed in a street car (but you'll have other problems to worry about anyways) or if you have a very specific need to do so.

Re: camber kit, what do you think?
A Type R is track ready as it is. Yes, it looks nice when it's lowered a little bit, but a silly slam will make it (or any car) handle like ****. A modest drop, say 1/2" or 1", is plenty, and you can do that on the stock springs if you just use Koni struts and just adjust the perch cups. Even then the camber doesn't change much.
But it is your car, so by all means.
