does this front camber kit suit for DC2R ?

^ Personally, I would stay away from anything that looks like the above design, but that is just IMO. The other problem that some people are facing is that the rubber boot of the ball joint has also been known to fail.

Thats not an upgrade to the Ball joint on the Upper control arm.
The picture you've shown is a roll centre adjuster/correction (For lowered cars) which mounts to the Hub and goes into the lower control arm.

on the topic of ball joints.. whats the implications of not having sufficient grease in there or if the boot rips ?

The boot usually keeps the grease in and its not something you'd take out to service. If the boot rips, that means water and gunk can get in which would
then eventually stuff up the operation of the ball joint.

ahh ok.. the thing that im worried about is that i installed the camber kit without greasing it up (assuming it came pre-greased from factory).. and its too big of a job to pull it back apart.. especially after getting everything aligned..
