Default Help me choose a camber kit!

First off, I KNOW that people are going to say that I don't need a camber kit. So before everyone starts flaming, here are some facts:

I took the Del Sol to a shop to have an alignment done today -- to zero out the toe, and also to see how bad the camber is. They called back to say they zeroed out the toe, and to say that the front passenger camber is at -3 and the front driver camber is at -4. I'm also riding on 16" wheels with 40 series tires.

So yes, I'm choosing to get a front camber kit.

Now I'm just wondering which would be the best for my situation. The Del Sol is a daily driver -- it isn't tracked or raced. I was thinking of getting the Skunk2 Pro front camber kit, but I'm not sure if that's more than what I really need, considering the car isn't driven hard.

Suggestions?

^^ LOL, damn -- proper typing is always a giveaway!

What about the SPC adjustable anchor bolts? Are they not as good as the Skunk2 kit?

So consensus seems to be that the Skunk2 is a good bet.

Like I asked before .. what about the SPC camber kit? I found (what seems to be) a hell of a good price on it here:

my brother had these on his Prelude. They did get the job done, but his car was lowered like, 1.5". lol. So he didn't need that much camber adjustment.
I had the Skunk2 Pro kit on my Ej, which was dumped, and I was still at -3 up front.
If you dont need that much adjustment, I would say the SPC will do just fine. :thumup:

I used to run a Skunk2 camber kit. I had a first gen product where the bushings failed. I believe they've improved on their kits since then but I haven't gone back to them. SPC makes excellent camber kits. I would choose them over Skunk2.
