Default Which J's camber kit to get S1 or S2?

My car has stock suspension right now. I will eventually(a couple of years) get aftermarket suspension, but for the time being I am happy learning the car and so on. I would like to get a Camber kit because the outer edges of my tires are getting torn up. I can get about -1.6 in front and -2.0 in rear.

Is it better to go with S1 or S2? Speed Alliance has it for 345 right now. Does one have a drawback over the other? In the rear I plan on doing SPC.

I have the hard race joints and no complaints.

I'm there too. completely stock. I think something else is wrong with your suspension. you shouldn't need camber kit for stock alignments.

Thanks guys. That link helped. Going with S2 in the front.


So what about rears? Do most guys have something in the rear? I read that a few guys don't.

Most people don't have anything in the rear because most people can get -2.5 at stock ride height. If you are lowered you can get way more with no aftermarket camber adders.

I would second the guy that said get the hard race one. You can get them for $200 and they have a pretty proven track record.

I would also like to know where you are getting this $200 price from.
