Camber kits - Focaljet

Does anyone know if there are camber kits for the front and rear that allow for 5 or more degrees of negative camber? all that i have seen only offer 1 degree pos or neg.

Why do you want 5 degrees of camber?

You will need coilovers for sure as the stock sized spring will contact the strut tower well before 5 degrees. The LCR race plates or the Focus Sport race plates probably allow for the most negative adjustment, but without modifying your balljoint location, I don't believe you will attain that much camber.

Okay, thank you.

Hey wait...you didn't answer my question

lol it's not really a very serious inquiry, i was just curious, because i had been looking at some of the crazy camber setups on vw's and i just wondered if there were any bolt on options for foci.

i realize that cars with insane neg. camber have highly modified one off custom suspension setups but i figured i would ask and see.

i wouldn't want it for my car unless it was a show car and it cannot be. ever.

Oh, that makes me feel better. The crazy camber on VW suspensions just has to do with lowering much much farther than they were designed. They don't actually add camber with a kit or anything. And it is horrible for handling (and looks IMHO)
