The IPD Anti Roll Bars (Anti Sway Bars) certainly do have a huge fan base in the US and CTCNetwork recently organised a mass purchase from them. Are you able to give some guide as to what you paid for the bits and fitting? Thanks Oli

Matt, what does a camber kit do then, exagerate the factory settings or something? Oli

The main point of fitting this kit is to improve the front end handling.

Ok, thanks, that makes sense. I've noted really exagerated camber on the back of BMWs. How does such camber on the front effect the treadlife of the tyres on our cars?
