Im hurting after buying an OEM IPL bumper lol.
I got the SPC camber arms and toe bolts from eBay for $170, but that was a couple years ago.

I'm actually curious to know what you guys all payed for the install of either your front or rear or both camber kits installed. I got quoted $300 just for the rear camber kit which I thought was a bit high. And recently knew a member in Canada who payed $55usd which sounds pretty low.

Install yourself then just bring for alignment...?
After removal of stock, set up the new ones to mirror the length of stock and you'll be fine for a short drive

Stay far away from those Kinetix camber parts, there's been more than a couple broken welds and even worse, the money saved there isn't worth your safety.


If cost is a concern get the SPC bolts and use one set for your camber arm bolts and one set for your toe bolts, this will get you in spec for $50 if you dremel the slots yourself.
The only reason i want the rear camber kit is to get more clearance between the fender walls and the rear tires so that the scraping will stop. Ive driven about 10k miles on my current tires and have not observed any uneven tire wear at all. So to me, getting the front camber kit is completely unnecessary for my situation i feel. So just to be clear, for what I'm trying to do, id just be buying the rear camber adjusters and toe arms, correct?

Thats kind of crazy, I'm pretty shocked Kinetix hasn't been sued and shut down for faulty suspension parts that could potentially kill someone.

Side note- My buddies from high school is the owner/CEO of Cambergang anddddd i don't have the heart to tell him that I don't like his super excessive camber. He probably has the coolest 350z on earth, the camber just kills it for me.

Is this all i need to adjust my rear wheels? and does anyone have any opinions on godspeed? In the Volkswagen world, Godspeed was a decent low cost brand. I never really heard any negative reviews on their products.

But what is the difference between a bad brand and a good brand. Is there a difference in the ride or just reliability?

If you want a little more camber and keep your toe in spec for the lowest price just do what I said w/ the 4 bolt setup & a dremel job. This will cost $50 and your DIY labor. Without camber kits in a S Tech drop you're probably already in the -2.4 range in back and about -2 in front. I seriously doubt you're getting good wear in back without any help, but


TBH I would just stick w/ SPC camber parts as a starting point and if you ever plan to really max your G then moving up to SPL would be a plan. The other Ebay type sets like Godspeed etc just aren't worth putting yourself (or others) in possible jeopardy IMO.

Im just going to go SPC in that case. Its only like a $100 difference, and yea i agree, I wouldn't want to screw over the next owner. I really do appreciate all the input, you guys are the best!
