Default How does a camber kit work?

All these camber kits say -1.75 to +1.75 degrees.. what does this mean?! i dont get it can someone help me does the +1.75 correct the -1.75 to make the camber 0 or does it just correct positive camber?

From what I've seen, the listed numbers are the range of adjustment relative to whatever you currently have.

So if you start with -2°, the kit will allow you to theoretically get from -3.75° to -.25° or anywhere in between.

ok so you lower you car and now you have -1.3 camber. The "-.75 to +3.00" kit will allow you to adjust it to -2.05 to +1.7.

Say you drop the sh*t out of your car and somehow end up with -3.00 camber, you can use that kit to change it to -3.75 to 0.
