    Default Camber Kit From Ozzy Tyres $190.. Dodgy?

    Hey everyone,
    i am looking at getting a camber kit for my vs, and all the quotes from suspension shops have been $360 - $380 and Ozzy said they would do it for around $190.. seems really cheap though they are a huge store so have to half know what they are doing. Has anyone had anything done at Ozzy? Are they dodgy?
    Thanks.

    as above! i am guessing rear!
    i know a place in melbourne that will do both sides for 200 - 250 depending weather you know them or not
    did they mean that for each side?
    maybe just do it and see!

    hey thanks for the replies guys, sorry should have said - Rear.
    Thats fitted and balanced, just wondering why so much cheaper?
    Might give it a stab and see.
    I've heard 4point wear out some bushes too quick, so i should go for 2point?

    4 points are good but if you drive you car hard you will snap drive shafts!!!!

    Driveshafts in irs cars snap because the car is lowered, not because the car has a 4 point camber kit fitted, happens all the time! It happens to people with and without camber kits. They do have to be fairly low for this to be occurring though, most people wont have any issue but run less than superlows and you'll most likely find yourself replacing them at some stage.

    i understand it stops rear tyre wear on the vt, will it still handle as good as it did?

    Better. Less rear camber means more grip

    TRUE

    And i would get a 4 point camber kit, and make shore they adjusted it correctly , if not there is a chance it could damage the diff or drivershaft
