Just call locally for a camber kit.
All though it might be hard finding a "performance" kit.

you do not need a new shock. all you need is a flux capacitor and few nuts/screws. also welder/grinder would help a lot. GL

Your rear camber is basically a piece of steel that is adjustable to angle your tires in and out, from the top and bottom:
What it would look like from the back.
Bad Camber: \ <- Your Tire
Normal Camber: | <- Your tire
Bad Camber: / <- Your tire

Or a stick man 3D
..yourcar..
/...........\

I buy everything only from:
Lightning They're from LA, but UPS shipping takes only a few days.

i wouldnt adjust your camber. get new shocks. its much more safe than bouncing down the highway with blown shocks.

Also what did you lower with? i have tien s comps on stock struts and have been running them for over a year. still solid as a rock. However mine isnt that much lower. maybe 1 1/2"

I was told by the gentleman that did my allignment, that when cars are lowerd very low(riced) their Camber will change when they go over bumps... The top and bottom of the tire will go in and out. Here's a sure fire way to check... look at your tires... if there is wear on the inside edge of the tire, or outside edge depending on camber or toe. If one edge is balding, you might need A) a camber kit, B) Allignment

Do you get raped on shipping and border fees? The last 4 things I have bought across border should have came with a bottle of K-Y jelly! lol

I ask lightning politely to ship USPS, and the tariffs are... reasonable. UPS turns your a.sshole into a man hole.

I got my CV Shafts today and the price was $82.

I got my AEM Tru boost controller, Competition Clutch, Girdle,Hondata Gasket, Moroso Oil Pan, and Golden Eagle VTEC Conversion kit for again $80 tariff.

Now I'm waiting for My Edlebrock Victor X Intake & Throttle Body. From Lightning.
It's taken forever for USPS... and now I wish I would've got UPS...

I bought BC Springs and Retainers, O2 Sensor, Oil Pump, Water Pump and Timing Belt, AEM EMS w EUGO, from eBay, and paid no tariff. So it's hit and miss...

I'm all for local support, but for example, my EMS locally was $2200... I bought it for $1100... no point throwing money away.
