Ok, so does that mean I don't need a kit, I just need shims? Sorry I'm still a little confused.

Pop your bonnet and have a look the the upper control arm bolts that protrude into the engine bay. On an FG there should be about 10-15mm excess thread past the nut on each bolt. If that is the case, you should not need a camber kit as there is heaps of thread for them to add shims to space out the control arms to correct camber.

Here is how mine look shims were added to correct camber. I have SSL King springs in the front.

Can anyone tell me the hub diameter on an FG?
I have wheels with a 73.1 centre bore so need to get hub rings to suit.
Thankyou.

Update: Just called Bob Jane and found out the FG locator/hub is 70.6 but had none in stock. I called Autobarn and was told very adamantly by an employee that wheel's DON'T locate on the hub at all and that they are ride and locate on the studs and there is no need for hub rings as the studs take ALL the weight o.O
Also told me he's been in the business 30 years and knows what he's talking about LMAO.
I think I'll order from Bob Jane

And ive got about 10mm excess thread, so I'd imagine that should be fine.

They're only the shims.... you may run out of bolt length when using them.

~10mm excess thread wont be enough to fix 2.5 degrees?

It's a case of suck it and see I'm afraid.

My GS ute is pretty damn low and we got away with it. Otherwise you'll need the longer bolts welded into the upper arm pivots that fr33r was talking about.
