i got my car aligned the otherday and dude at the shop told me that my camber was off and was not adjustable from the factory so i would need to buy an after market camber kit... is this true... if so how much are they... do i need front and rear... i dont know anything about camber and caster but my caster is also off... do i need an adjustable caster too? how much am i looking at spending to get my car in good shape as far as camber an caster and what exactly do i need..

I just had my camber fixed from an 3* offset. I bought some SPL front upper camber arms. ask your allignment specialist if you need front or rear. As for caster i believe you need adjustable tension rods, which are recommended when you switch the control arms. Stillen, SPL, and a couple of other companies make these. The camber arms are 290 for a pair or so and the tension rods are around that range as well.

The front upper control arms look like I's while the rears are a giant loop that the coilover goes through. They are veryyyy different.
