thats the rear kit... i just got an adjustable ball joint from spc but it raised my control arm and made it bang the frame of my car. i'm just going to continue to eat tires until i find an adjustable control arm. that giant ball joint isnt worth a shit.

depending on your drop. i had a 2 finger gap all around before i put on the coilovers... i slammed the car 4'' with the balljoint and the contol arm banged the frame BAD. the shope reccomended we raise my car... i got pissed! i bought coilovers to slam my car! anyway...long story short we raise it back to a 2 finger all around gap and the damn arm still hit my frame.

but yes thats exactly what i had. if you look on autocarparts.com the site will tell you on not the spc kit but another one that the adjustable ball joint raises the contol arm because its 1.5'' taller than a stock ball joint so CHECK FOR CLEARANCE. this fucking shop better give me my money back for that BULLSHIT. i say fuck the adjustable ball joints! we need adjustable arms!

well....i had a 2.2 front and a 1.7 rear drop before my coilovers and i didnt need a camber kit. i did need an alignment(sp?). i say...get your drop and alignment and go from there. you shouldnt need a kit with that small of a drop...(i think)

JakeCL: Did you end up getting a camber kit? I'm getting the SPC camber kit installed tomorrow...I wanted to know if you went with the SPC's or not? I'm running on Eibach Pro-Kit Springs and now need a camber kit in the rear. I got a print out showing how far off the camber is from the required specifications...I'll try to scan it this evening.

As of right now I only need the rear kit. I just got a call from the place that's installing them and they're saying it's going to take 2-3days for the kit to arrive...so I wont be having them installed tomorrow. They're charging $200 installed which seems like a good price..cause I see it's $160 on Auto Car Parts

There are two different camber kits for the front from SPC, one is for up to 1.5" drop, and one is for a 1.5"-3" drop. If you're going 4" then neither camber kit is going to work properly for you, and if you're going more than 1.5" with the up to 1.5" kit then you're going to have problems. I bought my SPC Camber kit from www.iapdirect.com I got the up to 3" kit for my fronts, (there is only one kit for the rears from SPC).

I haven't gotten my stuff installed yet, but I am planning on getting it installed soon (gotta get an appointment setup with the dealer). Will let you know if I have any problems ... I only plan on doing a 2" drop in the front, and maybe a 1.75" drop in the rear though..

If you have a small drop, you don't need the front so I'm told. I just got my alignment and I already had the rear camber kit on. I told them to install my front( I did the back but was lazy to do the front) and they said my camber was only -.2 in the front, -1.7 in the rear. They said it was just another thing to go wrong so I guess I'm kind of glad they didn't now that I see Dbox's story.
