Default Where to get a camber kit
Do any of the vendors make a camber kit? Pfadt is out of business and Hardbar's site is still down. I need the rear camber kit to eliminate my "active" suspension.

Thanks
Ken

I can make you a kit if you can't find one - or just for the rear if that's all you want.

For the VanSteel kit? The "washers" at the center of the picture are probably the upper arm shims.

Sorry for the late response guys. I haven't checked the thread lately.
Full kit is $175
Front only is $120
Rear only is $60

I have enough material left to do 5 full kits.

I bought a camber kit from LG Motorsports this spring even had them install it for me. Very satisfied with the setup and install

I should have kits in stock, just need to know if it is a steel frame car or alum.

Good deal guys.



I would suggest the front upper studs to replace the bolts also, makes it so easy. Not sure if it's in this kit, sperkins will let you know. Shims are just a few bucks at McMaster Carr.

I ran Scott's kits on my C5. really good guy to deal with and very responsive when someone (hello ridetech) throws a wierd curve at you.

I'll be buying another set for my c6 when I get it ready.

What range (and increment) of adjustment do the various kits provide using just the LOWER plates (front and rear)?

Vansteel
LG
aFe / Pfadt

StreetSpeed

Thanks
