No, A castor kit is better than a camber kit because it give you dynamic camber so you have the benefits of more camber without the negatives (Your tyres are much more upright going straight so you get getter traction on straights and castor improves turn-in while camber doesn't).

Try whiteline or noltecsuspension.

If they have nothing in stock they can make something up for you. IF you find any kits id also like to hear about them.

No that doesn't answer my question at all.

Has a suspension expert posted or had his/her views posted in this thread? NO

Do suspension experts recommend castor over camber? YES they do.

"Q: Should I try adjusting caster or camber first to improve handling?

A: Caster, and here's why:

1. Camber doesn't improve turn-in, positive caster does.
2. Camber is not good for tyre wear.
3. Camber doesn't improve directional stability.
4. Camber adversely effects braking and acceleration."

So please go away you have no understanding about the issue.
