Do they make camber kits for the GS? I dont have a GS yet but I have a fixed up Mitsu Eclipse with a fully adjustable camber kit in the front and rear. The alignment shop can adjust as much as +/-2 degrees. Having around 1 degree negative camber in the back will make the car handle better. If you dont have a camber kit yet, I recommend finding one. I've gone through a lot of tires because of a cheap camber kit or none at all. Make sure you get a good one. Also, if you notice more wear on the insides, next time you rotate tires, have them dismount the tires and flip them to the other side (since more tires are one-directional). The tread that was on the inside will now be on the outside. That way you can even up the wear a bit.

has anyone ever tried making their own spacers for the rear? Get some thick metal (like what door hinges are made of), drill holes and get longer bolts to push the upper control arm out a degree or so.
Wow, that's amazing not even RMM has made some. Are they ussually not needed or something? How much does the l tuned suspension lower the car?
