Positive Camber ???

Positive Camber ???
I smacked a curb a few days ago in my 99 Prelude, ran into the right hand side wheel, both front and back. Took it to a local body shop, who said the steering knucle was bent. Got that fixed and the car no longer pulls while driving. The shop said nothing else was bent.
I got it aligned and both the front and rear right hand side camber is off. The car is lowered, before the accident all four wheels were at about -1.0 degree of camber. Now both right hand side wheels are between 0 and +.5 degrees of camber. While they say nothing is bent the only thing I can assume is that both LCA's are.
I was thinking of just putting a camber kit on it and adjusting it that way. The car drives fine and all other alignment specs are OK. Do most camber kits adjust for both positive and negative camber changes?

Most kits allow you to add camber, not subtract. You don't want positive camber. -1 would be a safe amount of negative camber.
The SPC -1.5 to +1.5 camber kit would work.
The SPC -1.5 to +1.5 camber kit would work.

So your saing even /w the SPC kit I could not subtract some caber from the front? I just wasnt sure if the +1.5 would let me add 1.5 degrees and the -1.5 ment it would subtract that amount.

According to Progress you can also get -/+ 1 degree of camber with their kit. I've been considering both of these kits (Progress or SPC) for my Prelude as I have -1 degree on the left and -.7 on the right and want around -1.5-1.7 degrees of neg camber in the front.
