Best camber kit for 94 accord
Just wondering what your guys opinions are on camber kits for a 94 accord. I have the ebay camber kit and it sucks. It comes lose every time i hit a bump.
Looking for something that wont suck.

An EF Civic UCA fits on the CD Accord. Skunk2 makes a nice one for the EF Civic.

Yes! as some of you already know it can be done, 88-91 civic UCA will fit the CD/CF chassis...
thankz to antbo for sharing the info and being the first one who did it on the 5th gen
Skunk2 makes UCA for the EF so i picked up a set and installed them on my cd7 :cool:
on to the pics
this is a stock cd uca next to the ef skunk2 uca...
you wont need this middle piece....
Installed on the car.. This is a staight forward installation, no mods needed...
i did noticed the car got a bit lower :eek:
The car still needs an alignment, so that would probably happen on saturday, im going to post up the specs for ya'll

Re: Best camber kit for 94 accord
I question whether that SH3 upper control arm has enough adjustment range to match the SV4 control arm. I'm curious to see the alignment print-outs from that one...

Re: Best camber kit for 94 accord
I don't get it, if its that easy to just have the toe at 0 then why does everyone say you need a camber kit?
I remember seeing my toe being around .04
Would having it set to .00 be that much of a difference?

Re: Best camber kit for 94 accord
It changes when you lower the car. Thats why I said get an alignment.
They didnt like the no name brand EF UCA because its typical ebay quality.

Re: Best camber kit for 94 accord
1) You have a shitty camber kit
2) You didn't torque it correctly
3) You didn't use and loctite (or similar) thread goop
Ditch the camber kit if you have issues with it and just have the toe 0'd out. Use the washer trick in the rear if you have to. I had an Ingalls anchor joint kit and had 0 issues for the front for over a year.

Re: Best camber kit for 94 accord
You don't need camber adjusters to have even tire wear. You do, however, need a toe alignment that has been done correctly. Keyword: correctly.
I've driven around in my lowered cars for years without camber adjusters and have never had wear uneven enough to affect the service life of the tires (i.e. not more than 2/32" tread difference between the inside shoulder and the outside shoulder). I operated a Hunter optical alignment rack and specialized in performance, competition, and street alignments for several years, and currently do my own alignments with trig, toe plates, and a string box on a flat concrete pad. Unlike most alignment monkeys, I actually know what I'm doing.

Guessing won't get you close enough. If you really want help, you'll need to post your before and after print-outs from the alignment machine including all specs and tolerance range figures. If you don't have print-outs, then that's your first mistake - you should never have an alignment done without asking for both print-outs beforehand.

Re: Best camber kit for 94 accord
The amount of horsepower loss to the ground would be very small unless you are talking extremes. Plus the tire and all the rest matters just as much. Finally, what matters is the intention behind the alignment. A zero camber would produce the most tire wear, but would trade off for horsepower loss in the turns. So, for someone to say that is missing a piece of the whole picture. Often you want at least a touch of camber less skittishness. I would be very surprised to see a true horsepower loss or gain with small normal camber dialed-in. If in doubt, I'd listen to Targa250R as he certainly sounds like he has the most experience. I've had cases in some cars where I needed a camber kit, but in others I've not needed it.
