yeah, you need about 4 sets....:flame:


Seriously, do you really think the back needs a camber kit...maybe you should re-consider lowering your car...

Uh....no.

You don't need anything like that for a Fox car.

Also, the only way to adjust the camber on the rear is to bend the axle housing ;)

You need to spend more time looking at your car and less time reading about Hondas, etc.

Why the hell even spend money on those?  Without any mods to the strut, the're not going to change anything anyway. 

Evidently they are made to wedge between the spindle and the strut, but you have to elongate the strut holes anyway.  Never had any problems with not using them.

Well aparently they do list those for the Tbirds, but they really aren't needed.  Alone they won't magically correct any camber issues.  YOu will have to mod the holes in the strut to allow for some adjustment where the spindle attaches to the strut.  I have had to do that numerous times, but have never needed the shim, even on track cars.
