Default Front Camber Kit for 2IS Finally Released?

Hey Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had any information about this product?

http://www.mycarforum.com/index.php?...d&product=8754

I need a -3 from camber to run my wheels while lowered, and I was surprised when I searched and found many posts saying there was no front camber kit for the 2IS besides with SPC balljoint one which offers -1.5.

Does anyone know anything about this kit?

Thanks

What did you use to get 2.5? And do you have a pic of what it looks like?

Well I'm just going by what the shop says. The my car's dropped 3 inches front and back right now on 18s.
The new wheels I got are 19x8.5 +35 in the front but need a 15mm spacer to clear the front brake calipers (something I didn't anticipate).

So basically they said my options are raise the car back up to almost stock or get a front camber kit and they estimate I will need -3 to make this work while dropped.

good thing you came to the forums first. Im slammed on 19x9.5 +12 and dont have front camber kit. Shop doesnt know what theyre talking about. This setup of yours is not aggressive at all.

Wow well that gives me hope, I guess the shop is just playing it safe. I picked up the SPC balljoint kit, going to get the wheels and kit installed this Friday, hopefully it all goes well.

Btw I spoke with Figs and they said they hope to release the front adjustable arm for the 2IS within the next couple months.

Thanks for the input everyone.

I am lowered on H&R springs with F-Sport shocks....my front cambers is in the -2.xx range? Is this normal or you guys are sure that it can be adjusted more?

Please recommend a shop that will be able to do this so I won't have to get SPC ball joint for the fronts...

That is not normal I would say seeing the drop that the H&R spring gives is not really that much. What shop told you you were at 2 + negative front camber? Unless you are have premature tire wear, let it ride!
