Need advice on rear and front camber adjustment items.

I need to correct my neg camber from lowering my car. Im sitting on KYB AGX and ground control coilover kit.

1) For the rear i am thinking a on car Rear Camber Adjuster bar. Can anyone reccomend me a good one?

2) For the front I was thinking some upper pillow ballmounts with camber adjustment plates. Are the Tein ones any good? Any other reccomendations? Thanks.

If the Tein fronts are the same as the ones that come with their coilovers, then yes they are good.

Be aware that the rear camber bar adjusts both sides at the same time, so if they aren't the same for whatever reason, they will stay that way. To adjust them individually you need the left and right dogbone replacements that AWR makes.

racing beat makes good camber bars. any front pillow ball mounts will be fine (tien, cusco, jic, etc)

Thanks guys, I think my rear camber is pretty even just hella negative. Ill try the bar and if it dosent work ill get the rear ends. I think I will go with the tein since it is a little cheaper than the others.

ground control sell the rear camber bar for ~$105 IIRC. It doesnt have to be removed when adjusting.

I got my adjustable rear bar from mazdamotorsports for $79. You just have to post 2 race results a year to be a member and their prices ROCK! Just keep in mind that you can't take out much camber with the bar before you start getting binding in your u-joints and suspension pivots. If you have to make large changes, you're better off getting both the bar and the endlinks.

Or the ones MMR now makes. They are only $125 and look pretty good, supposed to adjust on the car.

I bought this one on Ebay about 8 months ago. I got a full degree of camber change, but I had to slightly dent the floorpan to get the full amount of change. Adding the individual link kits would give additional range if you should need it, plus give you added flexibility in adjustments should you decide to tune the alignment for track or autocross.
