Default need to pamper the SSRs

alright guys I was always talking smack about not having any camber wear. I guess it was cause I always ran low tire pressure. anyway since I got the wheels the camber is noticeably off. I just wanna fix it before the tires get screwed.

don't tell me to use washers, I know it can be done but I need the front fixed too so I'm just gonna get the whole kit.

I've heard in the past ingalls aren't that great, but what else is there?

Also anyone know a good site for gorilla lug nuts?

Skunk2 has the upper arms with pillowball mounts. I was planning to get them b/c they correct up to 4 degrees either way. Kinda pricey though at about 200 bucks. From what I've heard (heard only) was that they have a tendancy to slip. I dont know if this was user error, or if it was quality related.

User error. Skunk2 has, IMHO, the best front camber kits available.

No, just did some research when I thought I was getting a suspension. (Before the GSR went bye bye)

King Motorsports also has a nice set, if you are Skunk2-wary. They look identical though. King is a little more $ (As to be expected)

yeah. I even made a trip to Group A motorsports [skunk2 headquarters] and checked it out myself. They look like it will do the job well. I'll have to make another trip to pick it up next time. King has their own brand? Probably holds the King motorsport prices too huh?...



**edit** ..you are right...they look the same. I cant believe they are charging 375 for the rear ones though.

my camber in the back is absolutly perfect, i dont know why but it is, but my front is a totally different story, when i get the rota c8 in the upcoming weeks, im going to but the ignals camber kit for like 60-80 for the front, i hear they work well also, but i say uses the shimmys for the back, works fine and saves you alot of money.
