    Eibach pro kit with AGX and lowers about 1.3 to 1.5 inches. I still havent had any problem with tire wear so far, but I havent driven long distance routes. When start driving back and forth to school, I will most def. get the camber kit.

    the camber is barely noticeable?

    for this camber kit,where would i be able to buy the screws that are higher then 9.0 strength?i checked the hardware nothing higher.would there be any at an auto store?

    and about what dohcstuner said, where can i buy that spray for the screws as well?

    Go to Autozone, I just got 10.9 bolts for my clutch. And if you mean where you can find antiseize grease - that would be any autoparts store.


    some ppl say they can see the camber angle of the wheel, but I cant see it. What I can see is that the tires are not worn out.

    When you lower your car, your rear camber specs go to hell, so to get it back withing factory specs you place a certain quantity of washers(depends on how low is your drop) and the longer bolts. If you get your camber as close to factory as possible your car won't eat the tires on the inside.

    Would anyone trust this to shave off -3.0 in the rear? It would need like almost an inch and half to to of washers and a really long bolt.

    what are you currently at? You shouldn't go all the way to 0 degrees camber.

    No, dude the max camber I would correct with washers/shims is something around 1.25, also as beam says you don't need to go to 0, the shop I get my alignment at, told me that having around -1* is within spec but I trust tgc more so if anyone disagrees let me know.

    The kit to correct serious camber should look something like this.

    look for the Ingalls one

    I don't think I've heard anyone talk about the Progress camber kit - I just purchased it from importcarpartsplus and its listed under the Ingalls stuff. Should they be just as good?

    If it ain't broke, i'm still fixin' it.

    Yeah dude you should be good to go, and I talked about the ingalls because he said he wanted to correct -2+ degrees and ingalls has 2 different sets, I don't know how much camber you can correct with the progress one but I would assume around 1-1.25 degrees let us know when you install it.

    For sure, thanks. I'm waiting for my order from them with my AGXs. I have Megan springs so the drop is coming soon.

    I guess i deleted them for PhotoBucket. It looks like it has washers under each bolt .
