I've never the heard the cam thing. The one thing I do know is the different exhaust manifolds. That combined with the cams is probably the reason for the '96 spec motor having a few less ponies. And I believe the '96 spec trans has a 4.4 final drive while the '98 got the the 4.7. That's JDM though. My USDM ITR trans has a 4.4 final drive

The better cam profile is true. IIRC they were same as the CTR's at that point. IMO the engine differences arent that big of a deal but the FD is.

Only the MFactory rear kit. My front camber is naturally at 3.1/3.0. I haven't felt the need for any more so no need to waste money.

Well, either way, I'm not holding my breath. And besides, the hardrace kits I've seen still have 4 little bolts. I vaguely remember a kit that had one bit bolt for camber adjustment. Was that hardrace? Maybe it was someone else, but that would be the way to go.

The hardrace kit I have has 4 large bolts with lock washers. I believe they are M12 bolts. I know the socket was 14MM.

They arent stamped steel like the skunk/buddy club pieces either, which is a plus.
