    i know that you can generally get the super lows, and super super lows of ebay and there king springs as well... generally pretty cheap, i aint too sure how much a camber kit would be sorry. i am sure that you could probably ebay that as well.

    hey man,
    ive been quoated $900 to install a 4 point k-mac camber kit that costs about $350rrp.
    the only reason its so expensive is cos they have to remove the entire rear k-frame from the car otherwise you can put massive amounts of stress on the axels and other stuff.
    this is what ive been told from west coast wheels which is in mandurah, 80kms south of perth.

    Regards
    George

    yer my old man told me not to lower my ute because of that. the stress on the axels and stuff. but i knew there was a solution. looks like a camber kit is the way to go.
    ill have motorikes in the back alot so i think a camber kit is a good idea.
    will i be able to have it that lower and big wheels on it without any problems towing the bikes around in the back?
    cheers

    If your going 20's your gunna have to roll your rear guards or they will scrub like a bitch! Also depending on how low you go on the front you might have to take out the plastic wheel well guards/covers which is quite simple to do. If 20's are not done properly the tire wear will kill your wallet and the ride of the vehicle will be greatly diminished.

    Good look and put up some pics of the rims you are thinking of.

    ive got a camberkit installed in the rear and all bushes throught the car replaced, ive spent alott of money trying to reduce negative camber on my car it will never be corrected and you will always have abnormal tyre wear its just one of the things that comes with lowering an IRS commodore. im actually considering putting it back to stock height

    so how much does it cost to put a camber kit in and all your bushes in?
    will i need to put shorter shocks in or can i just put the springs in?

    depends on which shop you go to
    just remember you get what you pay for
    and id put shorter shocks in (putting shorter springs in reduces the travel on the shocks eventually flogging out the longer shock due to reduced travel)
