Rear Camber/Control Arm suggestion/help
From Post: No, you DO NOT need camber kits!!!!!!!! by PatrickGSR94
..."One exception: A few relatively newer Honda models, such as the 96-00 Civic, the rear suspension has a pretty steep camber curve, and could benefit from slightly reducing the negative camber in the rear from what you get from a drop alone. I would recommend the replacement rear upper arm-type camber kits. Those use a turnbuckle-type adjustment that will not slip."

I have a 99 ex coupe daily driver AT tranny. I lowered my car back on May of 08.
Ground control coilovers, new KYB gr2shocks and ONLY skunk2 front camber kit.
Results from the alignment printout of May/2008 my REAR camber is:
Left -2.4* Right -3.0*
I drive like 3 minutes to work ( don't laugh, I go out for lunch sometimes ) so I haven't had a real noticeable wear in my rear tires, although of course the inner sides are going down more. These tires are maybe 3 years old by the way
The question I have is should I go ahead and plan getting a rear camber kit/control arms(After reading the post I still wasn't 100% clear on difference of the 2 types, but I did get the impression that I should get the type pictured on the left below "turnbuckle type" Just getting more opinions from people with more knowledge than me)
I found these VMS racing brand for about $50 on Amazon...don't know if anyone has heard or used of their products
