Suspension
I just had new struts all the way around installed and it still rides f*!&%$ rough. I dont know what the hell. Lowering springs maybe? And also does anyone know where I can get a good front and rear camber kits? I need those installed

Are you running performance or stock struts? If performance, are they on stock springs? If so, then chalk that up to your crappy ride. What brand of parts do you currently have on your suspension? Also I don't see a camber issue causing that much of a harsh ride.

Did you just replace the struts again or is this the same problem as back in Feb? Did you ever change the springs out?

First time replacing the struts they installed some gas type struts. I have a two in drop with type r lowering springs and they have been on for about a yr and an half. I wanted to camber my rears cause i didnt do it before so I can get smaller wheels.

But as far as camber kits, get an alignment done first to fix any issues if you haven't already. Every car acts different so don't just assume you need to drop cash for a camber kit. Once you get the car in spec, go to a wheel shop and have them throw on the size tire you want. If they're halfway trained they should be able to determine if there will be any rubbing or anything once the wheel is on. And then go from there.
And as far as places to get them go, you're just going to have to search for the best deal. Skunk 2 and Ingalls seem to be a pretty common choice but I'm sure some others can recommend more brands for you.
