Default Camber Kit

Does anyone know of a camber kit for an 01 Firebird Formula... I was wanting to lower it but i was told that more than an 1 1/2 drop makes a bad camber problem...

It's not needed and your camber will be fine. Actually, you can get more camber (more negative camber) which is good for handling. Just lower it and dig up the threads here on alignment specs.

When you drop it you will get more negative camber. However that's a good thing from a handeling standpoint, it's a bad thing for tire wear. You will probably go from about a -.5 to a -1.5 camber. Just rotate tires more freqently and u'll be all good.

well I thought it didnt matter that much but it will wear down the inside of the fronts after a lot of straight driving. I have different sized F/B so I cant really rotate, but you could pull off the tires from the front rims and switch them.
I have pro kit btw

You guys have to get the cars realigned, but taking enough camber out shouldn't be a problem at all.
