OK, I know there a lot of post on camber kits and I've read almost all of them. What I would like to know is, well first my setup 92 Civic Si, Tein Type Flex control master, stock wheels along with other engine mods. Ok the question, what camber kit would you recomend with this setup. I would do the washer trick but everything is ajustable so I just don't know some tips please.

doesnt matter, i would reccomend skunk2 because they are cheap and have one of the best reputations.

Ingalls front, washer trick back. Get an alignment. You're done.

As for the washer trick, its one washer per inch of drop, correct. Right now it's sittin about 1.5 lower. I forgot to measure the stock ride height so I don't know excactly.

You don't need no camber kit! My car is dropped almost 3" all around and all I did was the washer trick out back (3 washers for me) and got an alignment and its all good. Bought new tires almost 2.5 years ago and still got tons of tread on them and no uneven wear either. Probably put close to 40k miles on them so far. Camber kits are overrated and not needed in most, if not all, applications, IMO. But if you want to spend your money on one, either get Skunk2 or Engalls. They seem to have the best reputation.

Translation: "I got lucky"

It's a cheap buy to just be cautious and get the ingalls and some freaking washers. But, whatever happens, I think everyone will agree that an alignment is a must after lowering a car.

from what i've read the ingals front camber kit is inferior because it only allows adjustment from the top, reducing suspension travel on slammed cars.

the skunk2 pro series is a lower profile design that can be adjusted from the bottom. they rear camber kit is cheap, and offers full adjustment for fine tuning, why not?

Well I must have real good luck 'cause I've never had a camber kit on any of my cars and tire wear was normal. Just got an alignment. Toe &gt; camber as far as tire wear is concerned.

This is definitely true anyway

As for the different brands, I suggested the ones that would be the least damaging to one's wallet, since the trouble of getting and installing one seemed to be an issue to the OP. I agree with the Skunk2 being a superior, more exact kit, but the Ingalls kit worked fine for me.

Meh, I've never seen it necessary on anything less than 3" for a front camber kit.

rear camber does need correction though.

I just can't justify spending money on either when the rear can be fixed to spec with washers and a bolt and the front is usually never the culprit of uneven tire wear.

Thanks guys. This is the first car I have built so. I appreciate all of the input.
