Default Camber kits?

I was just looking at Eibach's camber kit on overboost. For a car that is tracked would this be a useful mod? Sure would be nice to have the extra adjustability, but was wondering if it might be a waste of $200. Any info would be appreciated.

As your driving level improves you will want to be able to dial in the camber to achieve the best set-up for the given conditions.

If you are just getting started it might not be the best place to start.

Most camber kits are designed to add positive camber to lowered vehicles. This is not what you want to do generally on a track car. Often you will find that -2 to -3 degrees negative camber is what will get you around the track quickest. To achieve these camber settings you will likely need to add negative camber even to a lowered vehicle.

In other words, if your are going to be getting a camber kit for your car for track purposes make sure you get a kit that can add and remove camber. This is particularly important for front camber kits as most only allow you to add positive camber. Rear kits generally allow both positive and negative adjustments.

Hope that helps.
