Will a Camber kit effect ride quality?

I just got a SPC camber kit yesterday, and after driving it today it feels like the ride is a little more rough. I'm wondering if it's all in my head.

Will a camber kit effect ride quality at all?

It really shouldn't affect ride quality, unless the ball joint on the SPC is defective.

well, it can but not for the reason you think. Having the correction of toe and camber from the kit can make the car drive better, but the kit itself (aside from a defective one from SPC) doesn't.

Well, if your toe and camber are off, you could get terrible handling; depending on the degree out of spec. The camber kit will make the car more compliant.
