Default Anyone have a camber kit? Do they smooth out the ride?

I was wondering if anyone has a camber kit. My car is dropped 2 inches and the ride is a little rough and I was wondering if camber kits were proven to smooth out the ride. I would like to hear from people that have them on their car so I know if they really smooth out the ride.

your ride is rough because you are lowered 2 inches. Are you rolling on stock shocks as well?

Camber kits dont do anything to the ride of your car... just the tire wear imo... seemed the same b4 and after i installed mine...

camber kits don't smoothen out the ride. it just straightens out the tire so it doesn't butterfly. a bumpy ride could be bad shocks or cheap springs.

Having excessive Camber (greater than 1 degree + or - in the front) can put a great strain on other parts of the car. Wheel bearings, axles/boots, tie rods, tires and bushings will wear out much faster than they normally should.

I've heard good things about the Ingalls camber kits. This should fix the camber problem.
