Camber kits main effect is going to come from getting your wheels back into the correct position (camber, toe, caster) The actual construction may help slightly (just look at the pix, you gotta know the SPL is better quality) But the effect comes from the adjustment, not the part if that is as clear as mud. Basically, if you installed a camber kit on a 100% stock vehicle, you wouldn't really feel any changes (significant changes) but correcting camber to increase your contact patch etc is what makes it feel so much better after your SPL treatment

simpler version of Shanks

car was great, just soft
dropped = bad control but stiff
SPL goodies = back to great and now its stiff (thats what she said had to )

so now its even better than it was when it was stock feels soooo damn good!!! cornering almost flat etc
