We carry the Ingalls 14mm cam bolts for the front end. One bolt will give +/- 2 deg of camber, the other +/- 1 deg of camber. Both options are in stock.

Isn't that almost the same price as TireRack?

One thing I've discovered is that there are shops who don't know how to adjust camber on our cars. Why, I'm not sure, but I've run into that.. They can't seem to see the camber adjustment on the front end. Story I got was that ALL fwd cars have solid front ends - which obviously isn't true!

It's pretty close. The Ingalls I purchased could go up to -2 - +2 and was $20 for both, not $20 each(making it $40)

Well the camber kit is for the front... The rear is pretty adjustable... I had mine set back to 0 and it was almost to the tire...

Unless something in the back end is damaged, the stock camber bolt has enough movement in it to properly setup the rear camber, even if your car is seriously low. I haven't seen a rear camber kit for our cars, and that's probably the reason why.

I've had my car low enough that the rear tires were tucking, and we could easily center it to sit within spec.
