Default Camber adjustment

Are there any new camber-adjustment kits available for SC430's, specifically for the front? Yes, I searched threads already, but the 'newest' thread is over a year old, and I want to know if anything's come available since then... front and rear. Any input is appreciated.

Not for the front which is what these cars really need. A kit supposed to come out for the rear though it does not appear to have been released yet. Shame as there is a market for them-especially the front.

Lee,
I posted this up, but know one answered. Your thoughts?

$600.00 Camber Kit for rear wheels?

What is this? For the front?
$330 for front?
Link






Can someone confirm that this looks like the right stuff?

Will it prevent this?

You have my old tires? SC was recently on a tow truck (1st time) for you guessed it, beyond bald inner tire wear.

I am trying to figure out where that kit would go on the SC that would correct the camber issue. It almost appears that it would act as a spacer for the bottom control arm that attaches to the body but that would just make things even worse. Perhaps when I jack mine up later this week to remove the headers I will take a closer look.

I was looking for the same thing a month ago...you must have missed my post. Hope you have better luck with your search than mine...

But it would seem they don't help as much as they "should"?

More info...
Looks like a very involved customization.
