D2, same company as Tein has one of the best camber kits. They're well-known for drifting suspeions. They're expensive but worth it... they have +/-6.0 adjustment.
If you dont wonna pay too much, go with skunk2. Thats what I have on my civic and I love it. They're a little less expensive and the quality is decent.

As for the amount of camber, its a matter of preference, but too much positive or negative camber can reduce your quartermile time like crazy so keep that in mind.

I think ProParts has a special on Skunk2 front camber kits right now for the month of February. Try sending SiR_Yo a PM.

You can buy front and rear camber kits for less than that, from John Lo.

I bought Omnipower, which is available thru johnlo at optionjdm.com

thing is, the Skunk2 was redesigned a lil and I didn't like the new design since it put stress on the wrong part of the control arm. that's why I decided to go with Omnipower instead. I love it, it works awesome... lemme go find some pics

I sell front camber kits for the upper control arm bushings for about $75 per side. They will give up to 1 3/4" of positive camber. We also sell upto 3" of positive camber but I am not sure how much they are.

I should be able to buy the washers and longer bolts from any hardware stores, would you happen to know what size washers and bolts I should I look for?

don't buy from hardware store, you'll kill yourself with sub-par bolts. all to save $10 bucks

bolts must be Grade 8 or better...

pay for which, front or back? cuz my back one came free with my front - but on kteller's site they sell it for $15 separately. Front, I forget what I paid... maybe $160 USD? I dunno I got it through an H-T special before Omnipower was avail in Canada.

yeah, most ppl think all bolts are the same... I've broken so many of those damn home depot bolts! so now I just use them for mocking up, and when it's ready for mounting, I use Grade 8 hardware on everything automotive, regardless of what it is.

the home depot crap is made of really soft, low quality metal. they break so easily. I think something to that effect is what caused ROBB to wreck his previous CRX, he claims the rear upper control arm collapsed, prolly for that very reason.
