    Default how much am i looking at for a camber kit install?

    ok i finally had it with wearing the inside of the rear wheels and am keen to get off my lazy ass and get a camber kit installed, problem is im not sure how much i should be paying, i've seen them for $155 on ebay but will still need someone to put them in for me.

    so how much am i looking at for this (camber kit + install) and who would be the best place to do it (pedders??)

    cheers all

    Go for the 4 point K-MAC adjustable kit.
    Yes true, it still has heaps of camber, one side has 3.0 and the other 3.2 degrees negative camber not sure how long the Pirelli's will last on the back...
    Hate to think what the camber would be without the kit installed.

    Just had a 2 point kit installed. Due to issues with the exhaust (cut and refit due to dodgy exhaust place) it came out to $530 minus about $160 for the exhaust job.
    Got the kit from Repco for $99

    I also looked at the 4 point kit. It looks as though the back end needs to be dropped to get them installed but may be different on a sedan

    Whoahhh sounds expensive dude!
    see if you can find out what tech specs the camber/toe/caster printout is when you take ur car to get wheel alignment done!
    mine is 3.0 and 3.2 negative camber on the back!
    interested in seeing how yours shows up.
    i've got king spring superlows all round.
