Default camber kit

well, im not sure what happened, last year i dropped my car 1.5 with tananbe springs and the guy that did my alignment said i was in spec. this year, after 4 new tires the guy says my toe is now out -2.5...dammit. so i guess now im gonna have to invest in a kit for the front. who makes a decent kit that is affordable? i know i dont wanna spend 20 bux on an ebay one, however i was on ebay and did see dropzone's front kit for 45 plus shipping i think. what do you guys suggest? i really dont want to spend more than 100 bux.

Hmm, your camber may be in spec, if your toe is out a camber kit would not effect that. This is an issue with your tie rods, not your camber.

If he said you had Camber, then maybe, but you said you had toe.

Toe is adjustable but camber isn't. Unless of course, you purchase camber kits.

There is caster, toe, and camber. All 3 are different. Type or take a pic of your readings.
