There is another thread on this that says this is the best price on these camber plates.

I don't know why the comma is in there but copy and past the url and it will take you to it.

FYI: the camber kit top plates that come with it suck and deform. A lot of people buy the upgraded camber plates that are thicker (made by a CEGer). I tried a camber kit on my koni's and did not like it. The adjustment tab on the koni struts leaves you with barely any threads for tightening down the camber top plate. I tried using different nuts and washers, but in the end I decided against the camber kit. My camber is still in spec and I have not noticed any irregular tire wear. you might want to save your money. Install the kit yourself, get an alignment at pepboys or sears. If you dont like your camber then you should buy the kit and go back for another alignment. You can get free alignments under the 6month warranty at sears and pepboys.

Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.
