I recently bought a 99 Civic Si with aftermarket springs/shocks. The front wheels butterfly pretty badly, and I'd like to fix that before I buy new tires and ruin them again... My local preformance shop offers a kit for $180 which seems a little expensive. I've seen alot of kits on ebay for ALOT LESS and my question is, is there a difference in quality and what should i look for? (brand names?)
Thanks.

That's about how much they go for. Skunk2 is decent, the rear you can DIY with washers.

get the skunk2's. if you SEARCH you will find a lot of people having problems with cheaper kits hitting the inside fender wall.

yay you could cut your springs too.... no offence but sticking washers in the back just seems like the half assed cheap way to do it.... much like cutting springs to lower your car. With all the money most people here are dumping into their cars why not just spend a little more to do **** right? Experience will usually show that taking the cheap road will usually end up with cheap results. Something good to keep in mind when spending money on anything.

for people that aren't going to adjust the rear suspension, the washers do just fine.

I agree

Skunk2 it is, and make sure that you are getting the newest production of the Skunk2 camber kit. I believe the old kit had problems w/ premature wear of the ball joint.

I have the skunk2 kit and I'm very happy with it so far. I would recommend it to anyone.

It's easy... if you know what you're doing.

JforJonathan

i guess it wont be that hard to do then

FcUK It.

easier than intalling struts, you dont even need to take your struts out to install the camber kit, i believe its only 3 bolts?

If you call the washer a "shim" you will desribe what is used at the FACTORY and by alignment shops to adjust all aspects of suspension geometry as described by the manufacturer on lots of vehicles.

Cliff Notes.
Washers work great in the rear because the washers work great.

for all of you who use washers for the rear....what size washers do you all use??? i might just use washers in the rear and fix the front later. would that cause any problems??

i was wonderin if a camber kit could fix MY problem . . i recently got 17z on my car(goahed n call me a ricer hehe) w/ 205-40-17 tires. As of right now, there is no wheel well gap what so ever so the tires rub when i turn(front AND back). Would me getting a camber kit take care of this problem ??

tonyxcom

If you tires rub now, a camber kit will make them rub worse assuming you want to set your camber closer to zero then it is now.
