Default coilovers w/ adjustable camber?

ive been searching for coilovers with built in adjustable camber for the xd all day now, and cant find any. ksport, d2 and other brands that have camber adjustment, whether its pillow ball upper mounts or camber plates, the coils for the xd dont come with those features... cant find available camber kits either... any suggestions? help? thanks

says in the description it has pillow ball upper mounts for the front only. we're kinda screwed for the rear until we get a place to make rear shims. this was what i planned to go after in terms of coils for spring

we're lucky that when we lower it, it still gives a tad of natural camber. better than nil

ksports have notched holes at the hub mount in the front that allow some camber adjustment (-/+) and you can also use camber bolts to get more , as for the rear shims from www.realcamber.com are all that are avalible. im running -3 in front and -6 in the rear (at my specs be prepared to DESTROY tires) hope this helps

so to get this right, we dont get to use the pillow-ball mounts on our cars since we have to use the OEM mount?
