Camber adjustment kit???

I just saw this camber adjustment kit. http://www.drivewire.com/vehicle/che...alignment-kit/

Does anyone know if this will work with the megans racing coilovers? Is it worth buying or is it just some crap? I never heard anyone talking about this before.

at that price, im betting the picture isnt an accurate representation. Im going to assume its a camber bolt like all the other kits. The camber bolt usually goes into the upper OR lower spindle mount on the control arm/strut.

If the picture is the product, then Im guessing the chrome piece mounts to the spindle strut mount (lower) and the the black piece attaches to the chrome piece and black piece looks like the adjustable point and mounts to the upper strut mount?!?!

I really dont see that being the case. Its gotta be camber bolts for the front wheels and I dont really know if the camber bolts work in the back ?!?! why would you adjust camber on the rear wheels!?!?!?! That should be solid. If its damaged, then replace the part or have the car "pulled" into alignment on a stretch machine.

the rear shouldnt be able to get adjustable camber. Thats a bad idea to begin with. Towards the bottom, they sell rear camber adjustment "Shims". Meaning, you put those on they arent adjustable, the 1 degree shim, adjusts to 1 degree only, thats it. the 0.5 shim adjust to 0.5 degree only. no .75 or .85 or .35. Its a bad idea to put adjustable camber on rear.

Does the Megan Racing Coilovers have two spindle mounts?!? THey should. if so, then yes a camber kit will work. Why dont they have a camber adjustment in the coilover?!?!? like Arkracing?

Thanks for the info. I just got them in yesterday and I took a look at them and yes they do have camber adjustment slots in the top of the strut mount.
