There were plenty of k-mac camber kits on ebay this past week. Unfortunately all the front kits were for anything after 92 i belive so wouldn';t mine and the only rear kit on there i was out bid at the last second :mad . Anyways, i know alot of you don't run camber kits and i'm just wondering why? I know they cost alot but isn't there alot of benefit to them? With the rear kit wouldn't I be able to drastically cut down my rear inner tire wear?

Anyways fo those that use them what kind do you use and is there a noticable difference? Thanks

Because even after lowering, rear camber remains within spec and rear toe remains very very close to within spec.

Heavy rear camber and toe are a big reason the E34 doesn't handle like the boat it (honestly) is. That handling benefit comes at the slight expense of tire wear - but it's really not as bad as you think. Yes, the inside schoulder wears fast, but with my last set of tires, I got about 15k miles per shoulder and made it to about 30k after swapping the tires on the wheels.

When I first bought my car, I bought a rear camber kit - then I realized what a huge pain it would be to install, and that my tires didn't wear that fast anyways.
