The pic thing is covered in that big post at the top that is in red and says "very important: please read". Don't know what you are talking about on the other thing.

I think he's talking about the camber kits. It was understood around the board that they were around 160.00

Did they give you a breakdown of the costs. e.g. parts cost, shipping cost etc.?
When I posted the camber kit price as US$165 + shipping, it was based on the price given on their website - NZ$390 - at an exchange rate of NZ$1 = US$0.4125. You should not be charged any extra for GST since it is an overseas order. I've just had another look at their website and seen that the price given is on an exchange basis (apologies for the ommission in earlier posts). They are possibly charging you extra for if you're not supplying an exchange set of upper link arms. (Basically US$80 for not having exchange arms and for shipping.) Perhaps you could ask them if they will just send the bushings for you to install in your own upper link arms (this is probably easier said than done). Here's the link for P11 parts: http://www.prestigeautomotive.co.nz/...120primera.htm and here's the link explaining the numerical info for the parts: http://www.prestigeautomotive.co.nz/...l/Glossary.htm The info is all there. Even at US$242 shipped, is it really a ripoff? What can you get them for elsewhere, assuming you can get something comparable? Remember: this kit consists of 2 upper link arms fitted with adjustable urethane bushes fitted at *BOTH* ends. One end has coarse adjustment and the other has fine adjustment. They are *NOT* camber plates, which will do nothing for you on the front, and they are *NOT* crashbolts (eccentric bolts through the bushes).

IIRC, in a conversation I had with Peter Van Brugel of Prestige Automotive, he said that when lowering, the camber will first go positive and then negative as you go progressively lower. Therefore, there is probably a setting which you can lower suspension and still have the camber within spec. Unfortunately I don't know what that optimum lowering setting is. Those of you that have height adjustment may be able to help with this. Or, those that have lowered their Gs and still have camber within spec, could you please post how much you lowered your car for the benefit of others? Mr Coilover?
