I would expect for there to be more than ideal negative camber. However, the camber bars can be easily installed later.

Also, I have put Stagg shocks on a GS and a SC previously, and had no complaint. To be honest, I wish I had gone that route with the LS. In certain circumstances the KYBs, seem to have too much compression and not enough rebound.

When I took the car for alignment it needed lower control arm bushings. Now back with new bushings and -1.0 camber on all four corners I am very satisfied, and happy with the KYBs.
