Jatt,

All that effort and money in the car and you still haven't made the single biggest improvement you can make to the handling - replace those EL42s with a decent tire.

Camber is a measurement (the angle that the tire stands from vertical), not a part. The camber kit allows adjustment of the camber beyond what the factory parts allow.
