you pronounce it EIBACH hahaha did i sound it out correctly??? i take it you have the ss/sc so i dont think you will need the camber correction, if you had an ls or lt that drops the car about 2'' in front and 2.5" in rear then i would recommend getting it to save your front tires... good luck with them and post pics with what they look like!!!!

As far as I can recall, the only way to adjust camber on an SS is to oval out the strut mounting holes or something to this affect. 1gmfanatik would know more on adjusting our camber, he recently had his done by a chevy tech.

Might be a stupid question but do you need camber kits in the rear too?? I could only find front camber kits..

No = not needed, and No cause you NEED an alignment check after. And I know many have posted, "oh I just did them and its fine." Well I'm a perfectionist and every time I adjust my suspensio or take apart anyhting on the suspesion I at least have it checked; so as not to wear out tires or bearings.

Solid axle doesnt need one, if it does its cause the rear axle is bent. (using shims to correct)

The only reason any cobalt needs a camber kit is if its been in an accident, or if youre like me and using it for racing and want a lot of neg camber on the front. Many threads on sportlines and ksports and others very low do not need camber bolts to be within alignment spec not to wear the tires.
