With all the suspension work being planned for my car, I would like some input on camber kits for F&R of my car... please give your opinion.

 

Unless you plan to slam the car more than 3", or if you need to dial in extra negative camber for track use, then I recommend just staying with stock parts. The toe-in can be aligned and tires rotated frequently to prevent most all abnormal tire wear. You will save money on parts, save money on the alignment, and don't have to worry about the possibility of the aftermarket parts slipping, squeeking, hitting the fenderwell, or whatever else could happen when using aftermarket camber correction kits.

<-- 25K miles on current tires w/ -2.5 camber

 

any other thoughts?

 

I have the Skunk 2 kit, and I really like it. It is kind of expensive, but it is worth it.

I agree with Patrick. As long as the drop is reasonable, just have a quality alignment done after the installation (paying careful attention to toe).

Actually, the exact post was:

He wanted input and opinions on camber kits. Some of the input and opinions he received suggested that the kits are quite often unnecessary, and these were perfectly valid responses.

If someone asked for opinions on unsprung clutches or sheet-metal intake manifolds for his stock GS-R, would you suggest the best ones you know of, or would you advise him that they're unnecessary and possibly even detrimental for his setup?

i also have the skunk2 kit... i've had it for a little under a year now i think.. but i'm very happy with it. I've been lucky and had no problem with any slipping, squeaking, or other problem. Some may get away with dropping their cars and not puttin one on, but i'm glad i did mine. Thats my input.
