Default How much for a Cast and Camber kit.

So my front tyres are getting killed by my ride height as there is a significant amount of camber which means the inside of the tyre is wearing away fast.

I was wondering who has put one of these kits on their falcon and how much does it cost?

Mainly onced you lowered it ... and mostly only needed for Wagons and Utes, Rare in Sedans unless you have IRS ... will set you back about $350-$400 installed

I needed new upper arm bushes 2 months ago. A camber kit with nolathane bushes from Repco cost less than 2 bushes from Ford, I think it was $120 or $160 all up, ie both sides. But yeah if you can just shim the existing brackets you'll be laughing.

Sprjenkins Both,the kit is there if you have alot off negative camber and mainly 4 ea to el as they dont have enough thread to ad shims.(when lowering increases negative camber) and you can buy replacement top arm bushes from pedders. cheers mick
