Question Can anyone explain the difference between a chamber and camber kit is?

What is the difference between a chamber kit and a camber kit? If there is a previous thread already created on this topic, a link would be appreciated.

Difference?
Camber kit = lets you adjust camber
Chamber kit = nothing to do with cars
Hope that helped!

stock suspension geometry when lowered will naturally camber. wheels look like this //-\\. a camber kit will allow you to make the wheels look like this ||-|| again. it corrects suspension geometry. some people use them to make car //-\\ because they like it

Oh my bad.
Like the guy under me said but with less bias.
Camber kit lets you adjust camber; which is the tilt of your wheel from top to bottom.

When aligning your wheels side to side adjustments are toe, top to bottom is camber.

I like the look of that Type-S, what do i need to do to to get that look? Do i need to install coilovers and then buy a chamber kit to get that poke, or get wider tires in the back?
