Default Camber kit.

I was wondering if it's worth the money. I have -1.2 front and -0.5 in back. I think the car can use more, but don't know how much better my car can handle.

Any suggestions or recommendations. I am cheap so don't really want to waste my money on useless or faulty things.

Thanks,
CB

For local autocross and lappignd days, I wouldn't bother.

If rules permit and you are trying to win some points, then a little more up front might help.

I'm in SM, so they do allow for camber kit. Will there be a huge difference in handling between -1.2 and -2.0 degree of camber in front? I guess money is not really a concern. I am just wondering if the affects of changing camber is worth the cost of modification? It's a daily driver.

Are you looking for MORE negative (my guess is yes)? If so, you'll need some sort of adjustable kit. We're using the Skunk front arms with no problems. If you're in SM and on race tires, you'll need at least 2 degrees in the front. Rear camber will vary, but you meed more than you have. Any threaded upper rear arm will do the trick.

So it will have a major effect on handling if I raise it from -1.2 to -2.0 degrees?

I think I going to buy a set of Skunk2 front camber kit.
