Specialty Products Camber Kits are excellent. I run them on both my cars and highly recommend them.

Speciality Products are great as stated, but unless you have over -1 degrees of negative camber up front you do NOT need a camber kit.

a 1.7'' drop *probably* would not warrnt a camber kit, but every car is different.

I'm going to be helping a friend install his Specialty Products front camber kit tomorrow night. I've installed my own Ingalls kit in 2 different cars and installed a friend's Ingalls kit in his car. The SPC kit seems to install the same way (anchor bolts) so it's pretty straight forward... But I do have some concerns about the SPC kit. Perhaps someone can shed some light?

1. When adjusting camber between either max or min settings, you can either have the bolts positioned in the upper portion of the adjustment cylinder (for lack of a better word) or the lower portion of the cylinder. I'm thinking about keeping the bolts low for upper control arm clearance but does anyone have any input on this?

2. It doesn't seem like the rotating cylinders will lock down. I would assume that if enough force is exerted against the upper control arm, the adjustment cylinders will rotate and the original settings would be lost. Is there something I'm missing here? Has anyone had any issues with this?

Thanks for any input.
