It's the only adjustable upper I can find right now. The oem upper is already a thin piece of metal. This has got to be strong, it's adjustable and comes with urethane bushings. It also looks like switching out the ball joints is simple.

To push the top of the wheel further out and stop the wear on the inside of my tires. The cam kit only does so much.

How much and where? I have about 2 degrees of negative camber and the alignment guy said that this was the best that he could do.

But note that Stan Martin says that if the caster is set a certain way, then the camber can be done within specs.

What is the weight of this kit? All I care about is reducing unsprung weight.
