Camber question (help please)
how do i know what degree i will need? I'm down a little more then 2" and theres 2 kits. One that can adjust me up to 1.75 and one from 1.75-3.25. Which one do you think i should get?

An alignment would tell you how much negative camber you have. At least you'd know exactly which kit to get that way. I'd bet the first kit (< -1.75) would work though. You could also try to estimate with a plumb line and a protractor. (that should be fun)

You will need to have the car aligned first o see how far the camber is out,then based on that information you can decide which camber correction kit will be required to correct your car.Jens

Can't you just get the adjustable camber kit, install it, then take it to the alignment shop and have them dial it all in?
