Default Rear Camber Kit

Just had rear camber kit installed on my 95ti now we got car all dailed in and no more tire wear, pick it up satuday Able to get car back to stock specs then dailed a little negative camber back in, don't want take all the fun out. I was over three and a half drgrees of negative camber on the rear
Nice kit got it from Bavarian Autosport about $280. All urethane bushings.
Will have my spec sheet saturday for more details.I throught it handled well the way it was but now it's really dailed in, can't wait

$280 for just the rear camber kit? Wow thats' a lot y0! My Ti's suspension is stock for right now, but by the end of this year it will have a nice suspension on it and I'm not looking forward to forking down the loot for a camber kit. But I have no choice b/c I don't want uneven tire wear.

Vwt3 - Is there a need for the front to have a camber kit?

I think mostly if you are going to race the car more, autocross etc and set back to street settings but even then you will have to over time get car an alignment for moving things around and to get things dailed back in.

Have you had any tire wear problems in the front? My problems seems to be just for the rear and I was looking into the BA rear kit. How much did you spend for the installation?

Hey all a little update no squeaks handle's nice in corners gos in a straight line.
cost around $370 to install camber kit plus custom four wheel alignment $250. well worth it.My guys at Munks know how to dail a car in for any driving habit.. I do like to throw the car around a bit.
