Rear Camber fix? Has anyone tried these yet?
Whats up everyone, I am new to the site but have had my tC for a year now. Anyway I have yet to lower my tC because of the rear camber problems that everyone has been having and Id rather not spend all my money on tires. I was curious to know if anyone has used this product yet and if they could give a review.

Have you ever tried to press in a bearing crooked? Well, it doesn’t work…most of the time it destroys the housing (the upright in this case) because the housing is a softer material than the bearing. This kit purposely and intentionally ***** the wheel bearing in your upright! This plastic piece is inserted between the 4 flange bolts holding your rear wheel bearing to the upright. It is quite a cleaver design…they put two plastic discs (shims) together that are fabricated at a 0.75-dgree angle. When you rotate them, you can set an angle anywhere between 0.0-degrees and 1.5-degrees…at the cost of offsetting your wheel bearings (and therefore your wheel) by the thickness of these two angle shims. Not a bad idea to **** a spindle, but not for a bearing! I used these on my Honda Fit and they worked OK because it cocked the whole spindle. I had to buy longer high grade bolts because the OEM ones were not long enough with these shims installed (and no alignment shop will install longer bolts for you)…bolts are NOT included with these shims. If somebody here does it, my guess is that you will be burning up rear wheel bearings. Somebody here do it…and report back to us how long it took you to burn up your rear wheel bearings. It will be dependent on the amount of misalignment you had to dial in though. But we could set up a table here for burn time in relation to set angle.

Since the majority of the problem is on the passenger side, how much longer would the arm need to be to put it back in spec?
i'm not wanting an adjustable set up, but i would like for it to be in spec, i wonder how much it would cost to make a longer one to correct it?
I sitting on S-tech springs and the camber is at 2.5 right now.
