Default camber kit question?

Hey i'm new, don't know much yet. I have a quick question what the difference between like the expensive camber kits compared to the ones you see on ebay for like 50 bucks.
Also any recommendations that you guys have on a good one at a good price?

Don't cheap out on suspension or brake parts. Spend a little bit more and get quality ****.

rule #1 (in my book)
-if its on eBay its probably garabage to begin with. omnipower has a good camber kit for fronts and rears for i think under 200 bucks.

if you cant afford that.... buy a front ingalls/front omni man kit and shim the rear up... you can search and find alot of threads on how to shim the rear

g2ic.com has a "teg tip" on how to do it... all honda/acuaras are the same for the most part

Pay for what you get.............
Dont get those on ebay for 50 bucks , they are suck. I know sometime they all work the same brand name and no brand name, but Think about it. just save your money and get the good ones. It will save your time to take out and put in the new camper kits, plugs every time when you install the new campers, you also have to pay for a new alignment for the car.
I have the skunk 2 campers on my car for almost 6 months and I dont have any problems with my tires.
I dont know! there may some other kinds are better than skunk 2.
keep searching.....

i had a skunk2 on my ride before my accident, and i had it on for about a year and a half and i was very happy with it. NEver gave me any problems and it gives a large range of adjustability so its easily used in combination with various different aftermarket suspensions so you don't have to worry about having to get a new one if your drop changes drastically. Check out my sight if you wanna see a quick pic of it... its in the diy section of my website linked in my sig below

yea dont get those ebay front camber kits. most of them are made by dropzone

i baught a set of dropzone camber kit for the front of my teg. it was all good but a moonth later they fell apart on me. the camber kit were "ingalls style" but the rubber bushing inside of the kit was very small. after a month of having it, the whole bushing fell apart which made my whole upper control arm slide back and forth when i accelerated. im a poor folk so i just fixed that problem with the dropzone camber kit with some large washers. still hold n up so far.

i would recommend the REAL INGALLS fron camber kit (about $125) and just shim the rear with washers and bolts

cambers? what are cambers?

Anyway you should probably determine if you really need a camber kit before wasting money on one. My front tires have been around -2.5 camber for over 75K miles now and I only just put on my 3rd set of tires back in June.

for me I sell and use the omnipower or skunk kits. from a installer and user point of view they are easy to use and don't make noise like the spc or ingalls upper joint kits. the only one that is somewhat ok is the spc new ball joint that is like a offset joint that replaces your original ball joint in a arm. that should not make noise. I hated all the ingalls or ones that went in the old a arm joints as those always squeaked and made the car sound like a junker.
