Alignment problems

Went to get my car aligned today and my rear camber was 4.2 degree off. From what i heard (at diff stores) there in no camber kit for our car, only a adjustable control arm (lowest price was $130 each). Anyone have a camber problem after installing springs? If so what did you do to fix the problem?

There is a camber correction kit for the rear but not for the front. Check out www.autocarparts.com

Some people have had to get a camber kit and others have not.

I had to get the camber kit... it is made by Specialty Products I think.

I chewed through a set of Pirelli's in 6 months without it.

ACP has the rear kit for 175 or so I think...

4.2 degrees wow that car must be lowered quite a bit.the worst I have seen is 1.1 degrees beyond allowable limits what type of springs were installed.Comptech carries camber correction kits but I am not sure if they will correct that amount.Jens
