Needing a camber kit

I need to put on a camber kit and was wondering if I need camber "plates" or camber "bolts"? What are some good ones or are they all pretty much the same? Please let me know.

Camber bolts provide the same job as camber plates at a lower cost.

check Alex @ southwestautoworks for camber bolts

Why do you need a camber kit?

You need more then a camber kit to make that car drive correctly.

With a 2.5 inch drop, there's no suspension travel at all in the rear and very little up front.

He would need the motivational rear upper mounts to gain some shock travel in the rear. The front, your pretty much screwed. Even if you take the bump stop and dust boot completely off the car, he's only looking at 1/2 inch of suspension travel at most. That pretty much renders the car a "show only" vehicle.

In order to drop it that much correctly, you'd need to use modified (shortened) struts up front or a coil-over package that would accomadate that. (JIC's perhaps?) In other words, you cannot drop it like that with just coil springs, it would become very unsafe on the road.

Would be interesting to know what he did.
