For sure. First I want to align the car properly... To do so I need to get those front inner lower control arm bushings to be able to align the car with my new 19" Volk Rays forged OEM stye rims.

One all set. I will give it like 1 month and let you know.

Gat0713 I have the same front camber kit and was trying to install it 2 nights ago, but I ran into a problem. You have to swap the factory ball joint studd from the factory upper controll arm to the godspeed camber kit. I couldn't get the stud off for the life of me, heading to my buddies machine shop to press it out on Sunday. My question is how did you get the stud off and does it need to be pressed on the godspeed camber arms to be done correctly? I didn't receive any instructions with the kit so i don't really know.

This is a DIY front camber install guide. The Godspeed camber fit right in. No mods where done to the kit to get it to fit.

Update: I took my car for a 150 mile trip out of town and the camber kit worked like a charm. All I am missing are the bushings because my steering wheel vibrates a bit due to the worn bushings. The camber kit on the other hand works great. Just be sure everything is tight and lubricated.

With the kit I have the "Oem conical bushing"(i call it ball joint studd) didn't come with the kit, it must be removed from the stock control arm and it seems to be pressed on. I was wondering if you just bought new one or if it was a PITA to get off and how did you do it?

"Lastly, insert the OEM conical bushing onto the SPC kit where the steering knuckle goes onto the A-arm. Then, put the 14 mm nut onto the threaded shaft (red rubber boot) and tighten it."

Not sure why, but my kit fit right in. Everything needed was supplied and its working great. I mean go with what works for you. The kit should lock right into place once placed in.

Got the GSP front camber kit installed on Sunday. To get the Conical ball joint studd off of the stock control arms and used a steel prying fork and a 10 pound mallet, gave it about 10 whacks with my pythons and it let go. As for the GSP front camber kit, it really didn't give me much positive camber for correction, maybe 1 degree tops. So I kinda feel like it was a waste. to get and more correction, I would need to do some custom grinding to it and comprimise the integrity of the arm.

Be sure to check the front inner bushings from the lower control arms. If they are worn, it can affect the camber positioning. I know it does with mine. I am suppose to get the inner Whiteline bushing kit for the front lower control arms around friday and alignment would and should be able to reach 0 on back and -0.4 around front. With in specs. Or what the machine would consider alignment taking into consideration the rim size, wheel size and infinti specs.

Now, on the rear kit. I did not lubricate the inner ball joint and now the rear makes some crazy sqeaking. I'm not sure if it is me not lubricating it or if it is the kit missing the rubber insert around the ball joint. Anyone else experienced this on the rear kit?
