Default Dropzone camber

I know camber kits are covered a lot in here, but haven't seen anything about dropzone. Does anyone have a dropzone camber kit or know anything about them? Any complaints? It seems generic looking ,but the quality seems fine (from the pic anyway).

I just looked around real quick and found this
http://www.racingworks.com/dropzone_camber.htm

Judging by that price, I'd rather buy a camber kit I know would be good.

I went ahead and got the dropzone, $160 for front and back. The fronts are real nice, no squeaking, and fairly easy adjustment. The rears squeak like a mother and are kinda hard to adjust (but it's the same as the ingalls design, so thats just how it is). I greased up the rears and they stopped squeaking for now, we'll see how long it lasts. They seem sturdy though, and overall I'm happy with them (especially the fronts). Couldn't really beat the price.

Actually the fronts started squeaking now. I just sprayed some lithium grease on them and it shut them up. I guess I'll just have to keep them greased, not to bad still for how much money I saved. Would be nice to find some bearings that I could press in though

I just found out it was my wheel spacers that were squeaking, not the camber kit. So I'm liking this camber kit all around now

Did he grease the bushings on the camber kit? My igalls squeaked for a while and all they needed was a little grease.

Thats dropzone springs though. It's possible that the camber kits are easier to make and therefore don't suck as bad. I mean, I have no complaints about mine so far now that I figured out the squeaking wasn't coming from them.
