Havnt heard of the first, and i would stay away from the stuff OBX produces. You get what you pay for when it comes to car parts

there are many posts about camber correction. Do a search, personally I think a camber kit is worthless. Camber is not bad, to a certain degree, in leu of what your purpose for the car is. TOE ALIGNMENT is were all the irregular tire wear can be avoided.

I run SPC camber kits on my car, and while not the cheapest, you wont have to worry about them braking at a bad time. SPC quality

you dont need a camber kit. its the toe that causes wear. all you really need is a good alignment, and you'll be fine

i went with the skunk2 upper control arm with adjustable ball joint to adjust your camber and I cant complain about it. About OBX I do have their exhaust and I must say its a really loud deap not raspy sounding exhaust. Can't say much about hp gains though, but it shakes your teeth loose.

The first Camber kit is pretty good. Well atleast that style. I set mine as far out as it could go and it holds good provided you dont have your car slammed.

But like JL said you need to get your toe aligned really. If your slammed to 1 finger level on the front bumper, then youll probably need a camber kit, and alignment.

This statement although popular lately is not entirely true. I'm gonna leave it at that because it's been discussed so many times. There are many factors involved...

Oh...never heard anything about either of those camber kits. I have Skunk 2 on the front and Sprint on the rear.

Actually that is quite qrong. Toe is just one of the many variables that cause irregular tire wear. Camber can definately cause it and somethimes an alignment cannot correct all of the camber. Over inflation and under inflation are two other things that can cause irregular wear as well.

Do not post false statements.
