Ordered K-MAC
Just ordered the front Camber kit from K-mac ,a little pricy but I want my car in spec and this is a sure way to to get it there being lowered ....I'll try to post some pics after I get them installed....anyone else on the forum installed these on the front of their car ,,please chime in with some info ...
Funny thing here. My front alignment didn't change from the lowering. Only the rear got really negative on the camber. Do you need the front camber kit? I was looking into them for the front to be able to dial in more negative camber on my car.

I looked into them years ago and if I remember correctly they have 3º of adjustment. I have negative 2.4º now and it's enough. I'd like to have them anyway because they're poly.
It's the spacers you know. The farther out the wheels are the more the camber is exaggerated.

He Les, how wide are your spacers that you're able to get -2.4?
And when I put spacers on my fronts I got a nasty steering wheel wobble. Did you have this problem? If so, how did you over come it?

I had 10mm spacers on the front of the Aero for quite some time and never had any wobble, or anything else..... you were using hub centric, right?

I started with 5 mm and had wobble problems so I got Ichiba 10 mm and they were golden. I got the extra camber with the 18x9's with a 30mm offset. I have a picture of the alignment screen somewhere.

Howard, I see how they will alter the adjustments with the off-set bushings. Must they be pressed in a certain position? And once pressed in the control arm, can they be rotated for adjustments?

James I think the bushing actually rotates around the bolt and then there is a splined washer on the bushing that locks by using the washers under the nut that are splined also if that makes sense .

I was hoping you got the extra - camber with just the spacer but at least I can see a way to get there based on what you've done.
And my spacers are also 5mm so switching to 10 will hopefully solve the wobble for me also.
And thanks to the other guys for their input.
Following hcarters work here to see what happens
Update , Got the last of the parts today for the front end rebuild . Lower Ball Joints , Koni Sport Shocks , New Steering Stabilizer/Damper , and K-mac Adjustable Bushings . already replaced upper control arms when I cut the springs. Joints come in this morning. Time to go to work...
Can you give me an idea of what replacing the goods under the front has cost you? Did you go with anything special for replacements? Koni's were mentioned and adjustment kits noted.
