anyone have experience with ball joint camber kits???
I'd like to get more info about them... what brand do you have experience with, and are they replacement ball joints or complete upper control arm replacements? price? drop height?
and most importantly, does your control arm bang the fender with the camber kit on (that seems to be a prob w/ the 'typical' camber kits out there)?

I am in Melbourne, Australia. I have just fitted the K-Mac camber/caster kit which is a replacement adjustable ball joint for the front upper control arms. My car is only lowered by 15 mm, but I wanted the kit to give me as much positive caster as I could get, to give me better turn-in and steering feel.
I now have 3 degrees of positive caster, and zero camber. The difference in handling and steering feel is fantastic. With Koni yellows set pretty firm and a stiffer rear swaybar and Pirelli P5000 tires (205/55 15), the car feels just perfect and can really be hustled on windy roads with complete confidence. I've surprised a few 'sports cars' in the last week or two. Check out k-mac.com.au for details.
BTW because it adjusts the position of the top of the wheel, there is no interference with the fender as there can be with other systems.

mine is at 3.2 and 3.4. Either way, how bad was your camber before the kit adjustment?
