Yeah I guess. I am thinking of fabricating a camber kit and selling it. It is the most pathetic looking thing to cost 130. One little wedge of metal. a large bolt and the rubber bushings.

I agree, camber kits are nothing but little bolts, peices of metal...I am tempted to try to fabricate one, but I am aware that this is something that has has to be really strong, since it is a suspension peice.

I never seen thses camber kits in person, just the pictures of it
so i really dont know if this is possible or not....Just an idea, since as some of you know, im a cheap ass who rather do it myself, to any means.....

So im just throwing out a though... let me know what you guys think....

Heres a picture of what they look like if you've never seen it.
I think it would be pretty tough to make one..

...yep I agree there... that wouldn't be something I would mess around with, it has to be reliable, I would rather buy one made by a professional, thats just my preference. But If you ever get in that creative mood, that you I always see you in making custom ****, let us know, its phat how you did stuff....

yeh i dont think it would be very easy to make either. I agree...just buy them, dont half ass. But dont get me wrong...i always try to do things myself all the time and ghetto-rig stuff. hahaa

If you think you can make them...more power to ya.

It has to be pretty strong and somewhat accurate. They would have to be identical, so it wouldnt mess up you caster I would believe.

But if anyone can do it, you can neoekai

By fabricate I didn't mean to ghetto rig something up. I was thinking more or less buy one set and pretty much get see if I could get a shop to reproduce them for less than 130. I think it would be hard to create one but I don't see why they cost so much for so little.

I hear ya guys, it does seem a bit out of my reach, it just bothers me that its like these 2 little bolts and 15cents of metal, 130 bucks......my goodness, but i guess its the R&D that we pay for....... if only i had the resourses....

brendon has a pretty good idea, they really shouldnt cost so damn much, its just alittle metal thing, i wonder if it would be worth it do buy one, steal the design and then have shop make them and sell em for like wayyy less....

or buy it, have a shop copy it, then return it to the company!

For real, someone should do this. I'd pay for the replica

Peace
