Default Camber Kit

Hey Fellas,
I'm looking to straighten my suspension out after dropping my car. I was told my camber and caster is off. I'm planning on buying a camber kit from extremepsi.com. But they have different types like 1.5-2 and 2.0-3.0 I think this is how much correction it does on your camber, correct? Also, do I have to fix the caster of the tires as well?

What have people installed? I heard there was an easy way to get the camber corrected on the back tires. Anybody know?

Thanks.

about four good thick washers will get you real close with a two inch drop. i bought an SRE rear camber kit anyways. worked really well for 60 bucks shipped. i still wanna get a kit for the front cause there is no camber adjustment on it from the factory. that sucks!! you'll be fine with the caster and toe because there is factory adjustment for that.

this is what i ended up with.

Good choice.

You will have full CAMBER adjustment front and back with those two. I would have an alignment shop check your negative camber by eyeballing it to get an estimate on how much of an adjustment you will need. If you don't need anything more than 1.5 degrees, for example, you won't want the one that goes up to 3 degrees
You can use the washers and longer bolts but, if you go this route, don't use the tiny washers. Thy don't provide a big enough surface area and will weaken the area that they sit on and eventually poke through. Those washers in that link are bigger than a quarter for referrence btw. Stay on the safe side and get the rear kit IMO, it has much more adjustability compared to just washers.

Oh yeah, CASTER is not adjustable, it is affected by CAMBER and TOE, but byitself, it is not adjustable in our cars. That is false.
