Camber kit for the front?

I have been searching for a front camber kit now for a while I can only find the rear camber kit by Megan Racing and was wondering where I can find that sneaky mf'n front camber kit?

Mazda Motorsports would likely have something. However, there should be enough adjustment already.

+1, you shouldn't need a camber kit, plenty of adjustment especially the more you lower

Do you have any idea how much camber adjustment you need? Just wondering why you think you need a kit.

Drop Engineering and Mazdaspeed Motorsports make an offset kit for the lower camber adjusting bolt. They also make delrin and SS upper A arm pivots....

If you plan on lowering your car a moderate amount..you should be able to get more than enough camber in the front without them

One thing they are good for is if your camber bolts are stuck...and need to be cut out....... Usually the bushing is toast...and these can be purchased for less than the control arms

yeah, putting springs on is a LONG day maybe two if you've never done it before. Lots of things are going on, four different times. A second person is a big help, and have all the tools that the DIY says to

You would not need a camber kit to install H Techs.

Has anyone done like a washer mod, or the goodwin racing camber correction bushing that adds -0.5 degrees of camber in the front? I'm trying to get to -1.8 or -2.0 degrees of camber at the front on stock sport suspension height, but last time I got alignment, the shop said -1.3 degrees was maxed out. IDK if I wanna just get Tein S-Techs and drop it to get that camber adjustment, or just get the bushing so I can gain that -0.5 degrees I need.
