You can actually run washers on the rear to get some adjustment out, but on the front you will need adjustable anchor bolts or ball joints, etc. You also might need some longer bolts for the rear if you run washers. Otherwise get the adjustable arm. I have about a 2.5-3 in drop on my car with no kits and the camber is at about 2.5 degrees. I do not wear tires to much. The toe is what gets it mostly. good luck

Buy Skunk2 Pro Series front camber arms.

Shim the rear and add longer upper control arm bolts to correct the rear camber.

"How?"

Here's how:



Replace #25 bolts with longer bolts

Place shims/washers behind #17 (it's actually part of number 16/19 upper control arm) in between where the arm sits up against the unibody. I believe that a 1/8th inch washer provides .6 degrees of correction.

The most important thing to remember is that WHEN YOU INSTALL A CAMBER KIT AND/OR WASHERS TO CORRECT REAR CAMBER YOU MUST GET A PROPER 4-WHEEL ALIGNMENT or else the car will kill tires much worse.

Correcting camber throws the toe settings way, way out, and that too must be corrected when the alignment is done.

I got my civic dropped about 2" and have Blox front and rear camber, almost like skunk in design but perform just as good for less the skunk price

I have heard the skunk2 wear out fast and come loose.

Blox copied the older, inferior Skunk2 design that saw balljoint failures and the adjuster slots in the arms themselves bow out and become ruined easily:



That's why I specifically stated buy Skunk2 Pro Series as they have the updated, more secure upper balljoint plate design:



...and why buy the rear kits at $90.00 or so when my rear washer and longer bolt parts can be had well under $20.00?

well i coulda used those tips about a week ago when i did my complete suspension lol

and besides everything else for suspension is skunk2...only thing that is blox is the camber cause skunk was backordered i was told up to 6 weeks

I'm going to somewhat contradict my self to prove a point.

1. Skunk2's older kits look like the Blox kits I posted above, first pic. It's a flawed design with not enough bracing for the allen bolts, and worst of all if installed with the bolts even slightly loose the arms are easily destroyed.

Keep in mind I said IF someone neglects to properly tighten the bolts the kits are easily ruined.

2. Having said that my Skunk2 front camber kits on my 1992 Civic are seven years old and are the older, crappier design. I happen to not be a moron, so I've always made sure my allen bolts were tight, and I've even done some serious auto-Xing on them, with zero issues. Some years ago Skunk2 offered updated balljoints for $40.00, so I replaced them back then, but mine are still intact after all these years, and under much worse than just daily driving situations.

I still suggest Skunk2 Pro Series kits because of their superios camber plate design.

BTW:

I've been aligning lowered hondas/Acuras for eight years now, so I'm telling you from personal experiences here, not hearsay.

Also stay far away from sliding balljoint kits and/or the upper "knuckle" front kits from SPC, ingalls, etc. - they are inferior to the completen upper A arm design.

Well had you posted this same topic, or had I seen it I'd have been happy to tell you then.

If you got the Blox front arms then just buy yourself an allen head bit for a 1/4 inch hand socket wrench, and use that to tighten the bolts. Allen wrenches are too easy to strip those heads.
