I have an s13 fb that i recently lowered. Its lowered on tein s. techs and i'm having some pretty moderate cambering in the rear. Its pretty noticable. Does anyone have any suggestions on what camber kit to buy? I've looked at shox.com and whatnot.. but i don't know what is good. Any suggestions would help very much. Thanks!

SPL, Cusco, JIC, Tanabe, Ikeya Formula to name a few. SPL's readily available stateside and make good stuff. Give them a shot, you're looking for Rear Upper Control Arms (RUCA).

listen to 180 fan get a ruca kit. there are accentric bolts you can move arround but if you dont know what your doing you'll cause more harm than good. but it still wont fix it completely.

Do you think camber bolts will work for me??? its only a 1.2 drop in the rear... the camber isn't really THAT bad... but it still bugs me. thanks for the help guys

I'm pretty sure the bolts will only work on the front. You'll have to get RUCA's or PDM makes some bushings that run like $100... I'm using s.tech springs, and all I did was get an alignment and it's still within factory specs.. plus a little negative camber give you better traction... just rotate the rear tires a little more often, unless they're directional. :O

Yeah, the thing that sucks with the PDM bushings for the rear is that it's like $115 for only .75 degrees of correction...
