Camber Kits
Ok, so I got H&R sports (50103) for my 00TL, and I just had my alignment done. -1.5R, -1.6L. Crap. So I'm looking at camber kits and I come across these:

Pretty damn cheap, what's wrong with em? What is my best bet for a camber kit? And finally, does someone have a DIY for them? Thanks,

Yeah the picture is generic, every kit they list uses that pic. I just don't understand the HUGE price differences..anyone? I know a lot of you have dropped more than H&R Sports..

Unless you have camber problems..I wouldn't waste your money just yet on camber kits. Camber kits push the upper portion of your tires out..so that your tires wear even. But by putting on a camber kit when you don't have camber issues will cause you to have camber issues.
Save your money and buy some shocks.

But with these numbers (quote) -1.5R, -1.6 you do need camber adjustment. I have a smiliar issue, 00TL with H&R Sport springs and the machine read -.06F (which is not that bad) and -1.7R This Eibach kit looks as an interesting option specially compared to the other kits which are much more expensive

when the car is standing, the camber looks fine.
however, when moving over bumps, you can see the wheels camber in.
so am i correct, in thinking, that i am at the upper end of the suspension
ability to maintain the camber?.

I don't think the problem you are describing has anything to do with the suspension's abilitiy to maintain camber. If the wheels camber in, you have a camber problem (ie: you either have a camber problem or you don't).
But to be on the safe side, I recommend you have a mechanic to check your suspension, coz what you are describing doesn't sound right to me.

That sucks I have the sport springs as well and after my alignment all my camber zeroed out, but I had a slight amount of toe left, but not enough to worry about.
