it's a tool to check camber, not a part to adjust camber.

what you want for the rear is one of these
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/86-87...item5885cd0838

a few of us have them, no complaints.

For the front, you can try those camber bolts but i never had experience with them. *Should be easy to install*

Or you can go with camber plates *More serious to install * http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HKS-R...item2eaa7b03dd

http://www.awrracing.com/pages/rx/rxsusp.html they got some trick stuff too, like theREAR CONTROL ARM CAMBER ADJUSTER, but ive heard these bind and can break, as some forum members have experienced if i recall.

Cmaber bolts wont get you any negative camber up front. You will need to spring for the camber plates.

Camber bolts will give you a little bit of adjustment, but they are prone to slippage as time passes.

Coilovers and camber plates for the front are the way to go.

where can you get camber plates for under a hundred bucks?

also, strange how the description of the part that the OP linked even says that it allows +/- .75* of camber adjustment if it's just a tool to read camber, how the hell do you use that? I never could imagine where the hell it would install.

and the rear camber link that hypertech listed is good unless you have solid bushings/mounts in the back. at least thats what I thought I remember reading?
