Camber Kits with Intrax Springs

Does the camber kit brand matter with certain springs? I bought Intrax springs off an org member and he was sayin cambers is need because front tires bow out. Would OBX Camber Kit work fine?

I'm sure they'll work fine. I think someone was saying a few years ago that they're all just rebadged Ingall's or something rather.

Anyway, I've been running camber bolts on my Intrax for about 5 years with no problems. They've never moved on me or come out of spec, but then again I dont autocross or run over curbs daily.

so those ebay OBX should be fine?

btw: what kind of struts have you been running with your intrax? I have kybs and just curious if they will last a year on intrax.

Never had a problem with my camber bolts... Altough if I were to do another alignment I would do what matt said in that thread. Maybe even bore out the hole and reinforce the opening somehow...

I have a 1.6 inch drop[almost the same as intrax's 1.7 inch] and i do not have any issues with abnormal tire wear...

You should be fine without any camber adjustment...

intrax will kill KYB in no time. I had brand new ones and PA said they were dead in no time after getting the car.

Intrax are 1.75" all around and you'll most definitely have some extremely negative camber with them. Will kill your tires in no time - dont waste any time getting the bolts in and aligned
