Default 60bucks for 2-3 degree camber fix?



6000yen (about 60bucks) for that purple thing that allows you to adjust camber by 2-3 degrees. Is there anything like that in the States?? I'm thinking about lowering my GS4 soon and was looking for a cheap fix for slight camber.

You Zealand

I don't see that listed on the website. It could be worth it depending on how low you go. I was actually looking at those SS kits to lower the car more. But for $200 I might try other alternatives.

Contact John @ Exact Motorsports. They have "camber blocks" similar but they are a little more expensive. For 60 that is a bargain if they are good.

How much are the camber blocks from Exact? That's what I'm looking for.

They were $100ish for the 1st batch. Real world results are still being done but some of the NorCal guys have been using them from 6 months or so.

those look pretty simple, if i could find better pics specs or something to gauge there size off of i could probably have a buddy at a machine shop make them for next to nothing... calling jay to see what he thinks right now...

I think the front RCA's were available for like $100-150 or so. That helps the camber out a few degrees as well. Not sure if anyone is still making them though.

I have EM camber blocks installed along with the Tein CS v2 and a good 4-wheel alignment. I have no camber or uneven tire wear.

I like the negative camber look too but tire wear is pretty bad.
