Thumbs up kinetix camber kit review. PICS added pics of ps2 tires

Hey guys,
I do all my service in Riverside California at Riverside Infiniti. I have had great experiences there and would recommend them. I always deal with Ben and Mike.
I was in the market for a camber kit (since my tires are finally bald on the insides) and since I was treated so well there I asked if they did any camber kits. Answer yes. Chad in parts showed me my options and I decided to go with the kinetix kit,and have them install it. They earned my business. I asked Chad to take some pics. My review on this kit so far is excellent. The ride is better it handles better and no noises at all.Those were my concerns. With my tires finally aligned to specs the car feels lighter and more athletic. My car wheels are noticably straight compared to my car lowered with my eibachs and no camber adjustment. It also feels better having the work done at a dealer. I would prefer infiniti to actually do the work.Here is who helped me if you guys want to do business with a great and reliable source. I recommend Chad@infinitispecialists
I know you guys will have questions about pricing. send Chad a pm.
I will add a pic of my car soon and how bad my tires wore due to not having the kit. I also had to buy tires so I went and ordered some Michellin ps2's. I will let you guys know how that works out. My only concern is they said its tough to align. Here are the tires I ordered.http://www.michelinman.com/catalog/t...ce=Pilot_Tires

just to let you all know, i bought a set of used kinetix front A arm camber kit and i noticed one of the arms was SLIGHTLY BENT compared to the other arm. The guy I bought it off of never got into any kind of accident. Just aggressive driving. I took a hammer to bend it back straight. pretty crappy quality if you ask me.

Here are the new ps2 tires and my old worn out toyo tires. I had some tread left but decided to change them. better safe than sorry. It is a must to get a camber kit if you lower and you want your tires to last as long as they are supposed too.
Old tires. just a little worn out on the inside edges.

New tires. Michilin ps2.




my feed back on the tires are they handle better look better and are as quiet of a tire I've ever heard. the toyos were a little noisy.
