Question Recommended Camber Kits?

Since I slammed my car all my camber and toe has been off. It was recommended that I get a camber kit, I don't know for sure if that's going to fix all my alignment problems though. What brand makes good camber kits?

I bit the bullet and ordered front+rear upper Ikeya arms. Peace of mind over the Chinese stuff. I also got megan racing arms all round, so I can do awesome skidz.

There isn't exactly a camber for our cars, unless you get into aftermarket adjustable suspension arms. The stock arms can adjust pretty well, check the body and handling section for more info

Daizen makes a camber correction kits. their basically bushing. also JIC Magic makes upper arms that can adjust camber. the daizen kit cost $130. the JIC kit cost $750. only tmenginnering.com are the only place that carries the daizen kit. and andyautosport carries the upper arms.

Some battle version parts may (I'm unsure) help with some of your problems, worth taking a look. I'd be careful with Daizen anything, not because it's not a good product, but b/c many here report long wait times for what they order. I have no personal experience with them, just what I have read. I did try to order by sending emails to Daizen (even though they do not take orders from the end user) and to TM Engineering, and I never received a response.

Just my 2 cents. Good luck.

I'm assuming I should just get adjustable arms. I checked Megan's and I only see rear toe arms. I need to fix all the camber and toe

I'm getting wheels pretty soon and wanna put them on, but I don't wanna kill the tires so fast.

you don't have to buy anything to fix the toe, just get an alignment.

Rear toe is easier to adjust with adjustable toe arms. Front toe is easy and needs nothing fancy. I think Battle Version is working on a version of adjustable front upper arms. R2 doesn't carry the bushings on their website anymore, so despite the link, they're probably not available, just like all the Daizen stuff. If you find camber bushings available, let me know. Otherwise you're probably looking at adjustable arms, and either waiting for Battle Version, or dropping the money for Ikeya.

BV has a bunch of pats to fix your problem. I maybe swinging on ther nuts in many posts, but i also have sent a few emails back and forth and they are quick to reply, and dont tax your pocket book too much.

Last week I just got some bushings from Prothane. I let them measure the specs of my car and in exchange they gave me free bushings. They didn't really tell me what the bushings were for though lol. These should help, but I'm doubting that they'll fix the camber and/or toe completely.

I was wondering if this will work on the SC300. Are there adjustable arms for toe and camber for the SC? I can't seem to find a set and it doesn't seem like Megan has it.
