HELP! Where can I buy front chamber kit?
I just got an allignment today and was told that I need to get caster kit since the car kept drifting to the right. I have been browsing the web with no luck. Does anybody know where I can I buy this kit?
Thanks,

FYI, yes I have installed whiteline ALK.

Why don't you get camber plates?
They allow you to adjust camber and caster at the same time.
MRT one's are the most flexible best, the other brands aren't as flexible but aren't a pita.

you're in luck i spotted this thread
IMO, the only way to achieve some caster would be to purchase caster/camber plates in replace of your OEM pillow/strut mount. This would be for the front struts I assume.
I don't know if you'll like the ride though because with these plates, it's solid and not mushy like the OEM mounts.

Now, I am not sure if the plate will solve the problem.
I just got an email stating that probably the control arm is kinked. He is right. But the guy, where I did allignment, knew about this and did not recommend me to replace it.

In a way some refer it to a control arm.... a trailing arm or muti-link / lateral link rear arms... hehe sorry I misunderstood. *knocks head* Because you said "caster," that lead me to think it was the front. LOL
okies! Now forget the front control arms I stated up above. So far I think iSR has it good for ya. MRT's is like up there at $600.

hey wasup.
you can simply get the camber bolts in the rears for the front.
they mount at the same spot. at the top bolt connecting the strut to the hub.
i dont know if this question was answered...i didn't bother to read the posts ahead of me.
