it might be wise to tell us if it is lowered? if so how much? if not and you dont have 3 people in the back seat and 200kg of crap in the boot while towing 2tonne with a towball load of 200kg it would be pointless.

also a 4 point is better than a 2point kit. 4 point = more ajustment.
ill give you an example of mine.

lowered 2" front, 2.5" back. empty without camber kit it had -4 deg of negitive camber. was getting 15,000max out of a set of tyres with rotations.

just got a 4point put in and the camber is -1.5 which im very happy about:thumbsup:

Hey! Another penninsula local!

Yeah the camber kit is a good idea as the VT's had camber issues even not lowered...

THe mechanic that told u not to bother... slap him... slap him good!! lol

You will get alot more life out of ur tyres and if ur gonna lower the car or running low profile tyres you will notice a HUGE improvement...

Overall its a good idea mainly if ur lowered, planning on getting lowered have low profile rims or planning on some....

If ur gonna keep it all stock as a rock then not worth the money...

I destroyed two back tyres on my old vt within 5000 kays so i considered it money well spent!
