Default Camber upgrade

I'm thinking about getting a nicer camber setup, and I was wondering if anyone knew the differences between the stock LS camber setup and the ITR camber setup. If any body knows the differences between the two setups, that would be great. Also, if you have any suggestions for different brands please let me know. Thanks in advance.

What exactly is a "camber setup"?

the camber arms, sorry, I didn't know exactly what they were called. Sorry to be so vague.

Well everyone has their favorites, I know a lot of people use SPC. Omni-Power ones are alright, as long as they have been the redesigned ones, and Skunk2 ones are good, but you have to loctite the bolts or it will slide around. The choice is yours.

What in particular are you trying to achieve? If you can explain your goals, it might be easier to help you out.

i'm planning on dropping my car a few inches in the next couple weeks, and I am trying to find a suitable solution to negative camber wear. I would prefer to be able to adjust the camber.

Okay, that's much clearer. Many people are going to suggest to you that adjustable camber (either arms or some form of kit) is not going to be necessary, depending upon how low you go. In many cases, simply having the car aligned with the toe properly adjusted will eliminate the majority of tire wear problems.

awesome... is it difficult with the right equipment to align a car yourself, or is it really just not worth the hassle?

It's difficult, if not impossible, to get the alignment within the tolerances that a competent shop with the proper equipment could accomplish. A professional job is not very expensive, and you'll be assured it is done correctly.
