Default Camber Kits

Looking at getting some camber/caster kits for the Ser1 XR8, which is lowered and wanted to know other's thoughts on which kit to get, shims or offset and what brand is considered the better product.

You rarely need a 'camber kit' as such, just a packet of shims is all that's necessary.
Even then it depends on what you want to achieve. Lowering increases negative camber, which is not a bad thing. Too much wears the inner edge of tyres, however 1-1.5 deg is fine.
If it's not pulling to one side and feels like it's tracking nice and true, just keep an eye on tyre wear.
