i'm getting H & R race springs on my EF and i'm pretty sure i'm going to need a camber kit. I'm looking at a set only fro the fronts... and will do the good old washer trick in the back.. now i wanna know if ebay brand ones are trustable..
i'm looking at these ones EBAY CAMBER KIT

only 50 us plus shipping.. so i dunno waht to do.. should i wait it out and get an alignment or jump on this and hook it up while i'm doing the suspension

thanks dan

imported_gatherer

those would work but I'd recommend upper arms where the ball joint is moveable

don't trust egay

when talking about major suspension components, you can not justify buying something that may fail, risking your life, others lives, and your car. It just doesn't make sense.

bbarbulo, what would you reccomend then?

i'll give u money if u can order me a set..........its better than paying $100 aside..................let me know

Your camber might not even be that bad. I think the rears are usually worse than the front. The upper arm style is much more expensive than those ones though.

skunk2 or ingalls is what I recommend

Gunmetalef

thanks.. would you think it would be something that i need with that drop.. its not too extreme but it is fairly low.. some say i will hardly get any other say i will get alot is a good alignment possible to avoid this.. if not i'll contact our affiliates and look at prices.. but if i'm paying over 200 a side that pretty pricey.. but i gues that what you have ot pay for performance

Gunmetalef

i found these decently priced.. yet again on aby.. but thay are Ingalls.. Ingall
is it possible to be a riip off... or for this price i believe it to be the real thing?

The rears in that pic is just a packaged washer trick...and it says +/- 1.5 degress, but the washer trick only add's positive camber (or is it negative...).

I dropped my car about 1.75" and my rears are cambered a lot. I think the alignment report said it was something like 2.75 degrees. The front's are cambered 1.5 degrees, which isn't too bad.

I've heard that all I need is to keep my tires rotated regularly and the camber wear won't be too bad. I'll have to wait and see though.

The only other thing is that I think having noticable camber looks like ****, but I can't afford a kit to fix it right now.

Gunmetalef

i can afford it but do i need it and is the Ingall kit i posted a good buy?

imported_GoldBadge

Is your car lowered right now? Or are you trying to decide what to get so you can install it all at once?

camber can NOT be adjusted through alignment. ONLY toe is adjusted with alignment. you should get about 1.5 degrees of negative camber with that kinda drop... unless your bushings are ******. The kit you posted is okay, but has it's drawbacks. I was thinking of part # CA100 when I recommended Ingalls. Complete upper control arms. The anchor bolts are... okay, but not ideal. Basically, I do not think you'll need a camber kit with that drop, unless you are really worried about uneven tire wear. But remember, just cuz tire wear is uneven does NOT mean it wears faster. It just wears unevenly. TOE makes increases tire wear, not camber. Camber just makes it uneven.

disclamer: this is true for any average driver, but is not entirely true technically. you can base your decision on that, but don't take it to heart as fact.

if you go with progress, it's ok upto 2" of dropp. But those squeek. I hear good things about ingalls...

Gunmetalef

with this drop would i need more than a -3/4 to 1* adjustment?

bbarb those inglals you were thinking about how much would they go for.. and what is wrong with the ones i posted?

the ones you posted are anchor bolts, they replace the bolts that go between the chassis and the upper control arm. nothing wrong, they work okay. However, they change the angle of the upper control arm a little bit as opposed to changing the length. Now, if these are for a 91 Civic, then I figure your front end could use a freshening up with new bushings and balljoints, which are included in the Ingalls # CA100 or the skunk2 kits. So for an extra ~$100 USD, you get all fresh new parts, as opposed to just changing the bolts. See what I mean? They sell for about $170-$200 USD for the pair. Also, go talk to Brett at Parkway Honda - I've seen their camber kits that they offer, I believe they are Ingalls as well, and they have them at an amazing price!!

Get an alignment done and save your cash. Rotate your tires regularly and you'll be golden.

If you still want alternatives though, give these a look. SPC ADJ. BALL JOINT . Easy to adjust and do the job well.

got some obx ones for 100 bones, good stuff

my EF on sportlines which are 1.7 front 1.5 rear camber is -2.5degrees in the front...not sure about the back
