rear camber kit

Just lowered Breeana. Rear camber is awful. I learned she needs control arms and guide links too. I want to do the camber kit and control arms at the same time. Can anyone suggest which camber kit to get? K-MAC is the only one I've seen. Are there others?

Thanx.

Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
Besides KMac, the kit is called "Get new OEM parts to fix camber"



How much did you lower? If slammed on coilovers or air ride, there's only so much camber you'll be able to dial out, and it will still be on the upper end of the range most likely.

Even when I replace the parts, I will still have a camber problem. I ordered my parts earlier today. im dropped on an Eibach ProKit so about 1.5".

Turner Motorsport sells them and they should fix it quite a bit if not perfect from what i've read and heard. Planning on doing the same setup in the spring when I convert to coil over.

I looked them up as I wasn't aware this was an option. Here is the link:
Rear Adjustable Camber/Toe Bushings - E60 E63 E65 E53 X5 - KMAC Street - Turner Motorsport

I would make sure all parts are new/refreshed, add the camber bolts, followed in short order by an alignment.

Yes most certainly press the bushings into new arms and replace the ball joints at the same time.
