camber kits arent that much last time i checked around 250 per end +fitting, usually with lowering getting a camber kit front and rear is reccomended as it will stop the inner part of the tyre scrubbing out.

i had a wheel alighnment done and i called them back and told them its still pulling left heaps but when i drive straight the steering wheel is off to the right about 20 degrees and they said thats what it needs... maybey i should take it to another place and let them look you think?

sounds about right.... with my TX3 lowered with Kmac all round. needed the camber bolts, from memory they were $40 each corner and i fitted. then took for a wheel alignment $40 . dont know about maggie prices though.

Go to a nut and bolt shop and get some bolts and washers and make you own.
See the pic in this PDF file and youll see what I mean.

the kca357 are the ones whiteline supply you when you buy the kit, as for the amount of degrees you need you would have to ask BJ's

If you read the PDF file it states something along the lines of "to add 0.5 install the 5mm shim, to add 0.8 install the 8mm shim, to add 1.3 install both of them" so in other words to add 0.5 get 5mm worth of washers, or a 5mm thick bit of metal, drill some holes and get a bolt that is 5mm longer than your current one. If 0.8 get 8mm etc and so forth.
I thought the PDF was kind of self explanatory......
