read the post. There isn't active camber gain in the front, but it is just good to have the adjustability. Besides most of the sets come in a kit with front and rear.

he has bags and using a camber kit would be pointless

IF you don't have a camber kit, get one. If you do have a camber kit, take it off and change the position of the arms to get more positive camber out of it.

:cough: We have about 100 in stock :cough:

Seriously people. A $500+ of tires is not worth $150 not spent and having to buy new ones in about 2 months.

Eibach is ok, Hotckis is expensive. Thats why we sell SPC, higher quality than eibach or equal and cheaper than hotchkis.

They are similar because they are produced in same factory. In terms of quality, I like SPC because of their customer service which is part of quality to me.
