FYI on camber adjustment kits.

[NetNinja]

I found this link on the other SHO forum site.

Since this is the first time I have seen a complete kit together(WITH PICTURES) for the SHO I thought I would post the link here.
I hope it helps some people.

that is pretty cool....don't know alot about these kits, but it is something to consider for all though people who have intrax or eibach springs...

You can buy NAPA kits for about half the money. Even with the rear bushing your still limit to the adjustment.

I recently upgrade to the GM adjustable control and shonut sleeve kit. Once you put the GM arms on there is no compromise on the alignment, the GM arms allow the rearend camber to be aligned right on the money.

IMO...I haven't known anyone needing the front camber kit once the rivits are drilled out on the strut towers.

I needed to enlarge the three adjustment slots until the innermost slot had only a thin strip of metal separating it from the large, round central strut hole. Moving the struts that far outboard starts to run into interference problems between the upper spring pad and the inside of the strut tower. I must now lubricate the rubber of the spring pad to quiet it as it rubs against the strut tower.

Scott, how much camber are you running?

I haven't had any noticeable wear patterns even at -1.1degrees on the front (factory 'limit'). I wouldn't think that you'd have a problem hitting that with the normal adjustment range, even with lowered springs.

He's got it in his signature, -0.8 degrees. That's about what I have mine set to. I didn't widen my slots (but I wish I had just a little bit. No big deal). Scott's front sits a little lower than mine maybe? shrug Maybe using different strut mounts?

The tire choice is going to have an impact on whether you get uneven wear running much above -1.0 degrees up front. I don't think anybody really has any way to guess which tires wear better (evenly) above that threshold, just the luck of the draw I guess. More power to ya, better handling without the uneven wear gremlin popping up. thumb
