front - SPL's new camber kit looks very promising - right around $500

rear - SPC/Eibach is the best bang for the buck

i have kinetix and they have a good deal of adjustment.

Most of the ones on the market do not take out enough camber for the really agressive camber problems. That's why i went with kinetix. They weren't tons of money and there is a lot of adjustability. I would have to pay double to get anything that had this amount of camber correction elsewhere. They also have grease valves on the bushings.

problem is the Kinetix have been known to crack at the welds (at least previous versions did)

they don't quote any specs for how much they can adjust - but beyond a fairly nominal amount, and you need to adjust toe as well

The Eibach/SPC kit, for example, allows for up to 4 degrees of camber adjustment and 3 degrees of toe adjustment. I can't think of any scenario where one would need anything beyond that, for even the most radical of setups

how do upper a-arms in the front adjust toe?

mine have been on for almost a year and they haven't had a single problem. I grease them every time i change the oil in my car. No squeaks or sounds from them at all.

And yes, when i put them on i went to get a full alignment. Adjusting camber will throw off your toe. You should get it aligned anytime you change suspension parts anyways. especially with our feathering problem.

I'm referrring to rear not front

The Kinetix front only offer -1.5 degrees negative adjustment up front, hardly anything substantial. Upside is they are cheap (and look it to be honest). Read the OP's post - he needs to add substantial camber, not take it away. There are numerous choices that he should consider, Kinetix not being on that menu IMHO

ah, i have ichiba in the rear.

I don't know a lot about all the brands, i just know what i looked at and what i have. I pulled out 1.6 degree negative camber on my right and 1.4 degree negative with the kinetix and still have plenty left to remove if needed. they had plenty to get my -2.5 camber back into spec.

SPL is very good. I have a set of Cusco front arms, and they seem to do the job pretty well. The only complaint I have with them is the way that they are adjusted with 6 allen screws. I like SPL's design better.

For the rear I use the Eibach camber/toe kit, best bang for the buck imo.
