Sup everyone? Today i went to the local performance shop and put a Sprint Camber Kit in the front and back of my car that is lowered with the sportlines. The kit with installation came out to 550.00, Did I get ripped off?

well, if that price included the camber kit, installation and alignment, i'd say it's close, but still kinda high. The Ingalls ball joints are around 150 for the pair, install should be around 100, and a 4 wheel alignment (camber out in the back of mine) should be between 70-100 depending on who does it. But thats just my experience. Damn I miss having my own tools (stolen by moving company!!!)

u need a camber kit in the back? i've only had problems with my front tires wearing out on the inside.

Well, I haven't had any problems yet. I just got the wheels, tires, and drop last tuesday. My drop is 1.5 in the rear and 1.75 in the front. The alignment joint checked my camber first off to see if I needed any camber adjustment prior to the alignment. Sure enough, the front was off by ~2 degrees and the rear was off by 1 degree. The back is adjustable using washers on the upper control arm if the camber isn't off by too much. So I only needed to get a camber kit for the front. I decided on the replacement ball joints so I wouldn't have any problems with the inner fender well hitting as some others have.

It doesn't matter what drop method you use, the camber can get off, and can vary from car to car. There are some folks that had to adjust the camber with prokits too. It all depends.
