Strut Mount Chamber Kit

Does anyone make a Strut Mount Camber Kit for the Cobalt SS/SC...i got my alighnment done and everything,but it was still a little off and they told me that i need a camber kit...the guy was a drifter and auto x'er for 15yrs and he reccommends the Strut Mount Kit instead of the Bolts that alot of people sell.

I understand what your saying, but from the factory using factory parts EXCEPT springs/struts, it is not adjustable.

no offense bro but you might as well go with a coilover setup, after a few thousand miles the springs will cause your struts to fail, and you will get sick of the inner tire wear. good luck finding a set of pillowtops that will fit the stock struts.

I don't think the rear camber is because it has a torsion beam rear suspension (I hope that's the real name), kinda like the FWD version of a solid rear axle, but the fronts are fully independent and therefore camber is an issue.

So I'm guessing you have some lowering springs on your car, which is why you're facing worn struts and bad camber?

Just for my (and anyone else who is interested) information, what are those "pillow tops" for? What, specifically do they do and how do they do it? I'm guessing they're installed between the strut and tower...

they are attached to the strut. they make it easy to adjust camber without pulling off the wheels between adjustments.
