Need a Camber Kit for your GS?
Put your name, location, and email address here. Let's try to get a list of people interested in front and rear adjustable camber kits for the GS. We can forward the list to a place like specialty prodcuts (www.specprod.com) that make camber kits. I believe if we make enough noise someone will listen and make a kit. I'm suprised one hasnt been made already...
Feel free to include some comments too...

I'm not sure why one has not been done, but gating factors could be difficulty/complexity and cost/ROI. If it were easy and cheap we would all already have a kit.

Most problems are due to urethane composition, bushing design or improper lubrication compound.
A blanket statement like the one you made doesn't do anything to help on a forum like this, it only adds to the confusion.

When I had a camber kit from Specialty products, they asked me to lubricate it which I did. Constantly. Didn't matter. 10,000 miles later, worn out. Did it 3 times before I said to hell with it. They did not cover the bushings under warranty BTW. I've since tried good Japanese hardenned rubber bushings for a variety of things. Almost as stiff, no lubrication or maintenance necessary and NEVER squeeks or wears! I will never again install anything polyurethane on my car again. It simply a poor material choice. They use it because it takes 10 cents on the dollar to tool for poly compared to rubber. A lot cheaper for tha manufacturer although they CAN make it in hardenned rubber if they wanted.

I've tried Spoon bushings. Very good. No squeek. Mugen was also good. My friend has those. Lastly I had Cusco sway bars on a car and had hardenned rubber bushings. Worked perfectly, no lubrication or maintenance required. Just works much better and still a LOT stiffer than stock rubber bushings. That's why the Japanese companies ONLY use hardenned rubber, and never polyurethane.
