For the most part no, unless you have clearance problems which I highly doubt you will have

Camber kits are always a good idea --

Get the bottom mount camber adjustment bolts from Ground Control -- they are very inexpensive -- They shouldn't cost you more than $30 dollars -- They hook up at the bottom of the strut assembly to alter the camber of the wheel

Some camber kits use a plate that mounts at the top of the strut and basically eliminate the upper strut mount bushings to accomodate the camber plate -- Thats all fine and dandy if you want to translate a lot more vibration and ride harshness into the body of the car --

The camber bolts from Ground Control do the same job -- and won't affect your ride quality adversely --

As for the advantage of doing a quick camber change with an upper plate, please remember that altering the camber with a plate also changes the toe angle -- so you end up with a quick camber change and still have to take the car to a shop to do the toe alignment --

My two cents worth --

where can you get the ground control camber kit, and do they make it for the us?
