How's that camber kit? I need one on my 66. I replaced all the suspension and reinstalled the shims it had to begin with, but I'm off on camber on the driver side a bit. Really don't want to add a bunch more shims as it's not the easiest thing to do.
How many degrees does that kit allow?

That camber kit is so friggin nice, the shop dialed in the alignment in less than 20 minutes..... no more fidlling with the upper arm, I just put (1) 1/8 shim on the front bolt of ea . upper control for extra caster , then used the vario and adjustable strut rods to do the rest piece of cake.

Just an FYI, it is very tedious and time consuming to install it with engine and steering linkage in the car, lost of trmming to do. You need a die grinder to slot the control arm bolts...

Big fan of all of these but for the 620s - aren't they a bit harsh for a non-track car, especially a 65/66?

I had the 620s on my '67 and really disliked them - way too harsh of a ride. I replaced with them with the 550s and all was better in the world.
