Camber & Caster Kits

Are your tyres wearing unevenly on the inner or outer edge after lowering or lifting? With camber and caster kits you can adjust the wheel angles beyond the factory adjustment range. This category is for you if you have changed the ride height, drive trackdays or want to fine-tune the steering feel.

What camber and caster kits do

Camber is the tilt of the wheel seen from the front, while caster is the tilt of the steering axis seen from the side. If you change the ride height with e.g. coilovers, lowering springs or a lift kit, the angles can shift more than the original adjustment can correct. This can cause uneven tyre wear and less stable steering. The category includes eccentric bolts, camber plates for the strut top and adjustable bushings from brands such as SPC Performance, SPL Parts, Eibach, Whiteline and Cusco.

How to choose the right kit

• Adjustment needed: how many degrees you need to correct – some bolts have, for example, a fixed offset of 2 degrees.
• Location: whether the adjustment is made at the strut top, in the suspension bolts or via bushings.
• Car and suspension: many kits are made for specific models, e.g. Ford Mustang or Suzuki Jimny, so check the part number against your car.
• Use: more negative camber can give better cornering grip on trackdays, but typically increases tyre wear on the road.

If the adjustment is not enough, adjustable control arms can be an alternative.

Installation and follow-up checks

The car should always have a professional wheel alignment after installation, as changed camber and caster typically also affect the toe. Check whether camber plates fit your shock absorbers – some are designed for original dampers – and re-torque the bolts after the first few kilometres.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between camber plates and eccentric bolts?

Camber plates replace the upper strut mount and adjust the wheel angle from the top. Eccentric bolts typically replace bolts in the suspension and provide adjustment via an offset bolt section. Which one fits depends on the car's suspension.

Does the car need a wheel alignment after installation?

Yes. When camber or caster is changed, the toe typically shifts as well. Without a wheel alignment you risk the car pulling to one side, the steering wheel sitting off-centre and the tyres wearing faster.

Can I pass the vehicle inspection with a camber or caster kit?

It depends on the product and the car. Check for the specific part number whether documentation is required, and make sure the wheel angles are correctly set after installation and that the wheels do not contact the bodywork or suspension.
