I told you it was your toe. =P
Why do you want a camber kit? Waste of money really. You would have to have significant camber issues to really need a camber kit. The camber will not really effect your tires until way later in their life.

I am lowered 1.8" and I had -2.4º of camber. Toe was set to 0º. I went through a set of Falken Ziex 512 tires (which are rated at 30,000 miles) in about 10,000 miles with proper rotation and inflation, and the effect camber had on that was easily evident just by looking at the tire.

I used to believe this whole "you need a camber kit" thing was a myth, but it really isn't.


I can only imagine how much camber he has, because according to his pictures, his car is hella low.

I would go Buddy Club in the front (has stronger metal and is the lowest profile one, which is a big deal since you are so low... it will still probably hit the top of the strut towers though over bumps but it will still allow you to have it lower than other kits would). It's $150, which is not bad for a name brand front camber kit. Plus, it's Buddy Club so you can expect really nice quality.

Then for the rear you can either do the washer trick (you add washers between the stock rear camber arm things and the chassis until the desired alignment is reached), or you can get a rear camber kit. Best deal on the rear is the Blox camber kit at ~$80.

And yea, I would raise the car until there is little to no rubbing or bottoming out.
