yes you do have independent rear suspension, it came standard from the vt onwards and i believe that if you are going to lower it no matter how much, it would make good sense to get a camber kit fitted.....

Your Wrong!
You do not need a camber kit VX s2 had the camber problem that was present in previus models Fixed

You will be just wasting your money if you buy one

bro IRS (independent rear suspension) was fitted even in the VR SS because my m8 has got one. Dump your VX abit more from the back than the front. It will look much better especially when the rear tyres are a few inches in the guards.

fit the kit, other wise you will be goin threw rear tyres quicker than a woman can changer her mind, plus bare in mind when people sit in the back it will lower further kicking the camber out again

i recommend the camber/toe kit. its good to know your covered and arent going to be forking out every 3 months for new tyres.
also go for heavy duty at the rears, doesnt feel a lot harder but is good for towing or xtra passengers.
