Eibach camber kits

I have recently put some eibach springs on the Maxima. I had the alignment done and it seemed ok, but now I think I want to put the camber kit on. Plus I seem to hit every pot hole in Atlanta, GA that exist.

I did some research on pricing and the rear kit is like 4 times the price of the front kit!!!

Should I just buy/do the front or do the front and back?

I notice that I lose a little traction when I go on driving on the curves too. My tires dont help the situation either.

Matt make me some custom camber kits...lol

the difference in price is because the rear is a link not just bolts.
Just be sure to buy them from me.

I didnt even waste time getting the adjustable rear links on the back. The back doesnt nearly wear as bad with negative camber as the front (because the front tires do the pulling obviously). I just have camber bolts in the front and nothing in the back.

Especially with Eibachs the rear (and probably even the front) can be almost in spec with no camber correcting aftermarket stuff. My rears on Intrax are just barely out of spec. They dont even wear bad enough for me to mess with getting the adjustable rear link. The front is where you're gonna go through tires like crazy. With the bolts in the front I actually got all the negative camber out of the driver side and to like -.3 or something decent on the passenger side.

Will a camber kit help my middle CV joint not to bend and also will it help my tires to last longer cause the inside of my sidewall is wearing down again? Thanks

It wont help the cv joint because the cv joint is like that since the car is lowered. It will help (or fix) the inside tire wear depending on how much negative camber you have...

Also fyi everybody the camber bolts are nowhere near a 'camber kit'.. camber bolts are kinda half-assed camber kits but unfortunately it's all we have available to us.

Yeah I will buy probably just the front soon or just go to a shop and see what they say.

What are your current alignment settings without the kit, and what is your target alignment?

The reason I ask is because some suspension mods are for increasing the amount of negative camber rather than decrease it. Granted, you are trading tire wear for improved handling but negative camber is not always a bad thing.
