can someone please explain to me what a camber kit is?

I was told that my car might need it...the guy said it is a common problem with EA's.

It help allign the wheels by giving a better range of adjustment.
(so u dont scrub the tyres bald)

They are fitted to the top wishbone on the front end. They let the camber be adjusted a lot further, because E-series Falcons only have a very small camber adjustment range. When you lower your car, the camber goes more negative (tops in bottom out), so the inside edge will scrub a lot.

As for pricing, I was quoted about $1000 for springs, struts/shocks, camber kit, fitting & wheel align. This is at any height I want. Apparently, the camber kits are about $250 fitted (shim kit).

The $860 does not include a camber kit. Nowhere I went to mentioned a camber kit. (though I have one anyway, its odd they didnt mention it.) So what is the general concensus on these stack springs?
The $860 - $870 quotes were for supply and fit superlow king springs, supply and fit front struts and rear shocks and a wheel alignment.
