Lowered, are camber kits enough?
I recently got a 94 EX that is already lowered. It sets about 3in off the ground. I was wondering if the camber kits you see on Ebay have enough adjustment to get the camber back in spec? The max adjustment is +3 degrees front and rear. Is that enough? I'm just wondering cause the wheels are really tilted in at the top.

3 inches from the ground? 
If you're that damn low, you're going to have clearance issues with a camber kit. Raise the car up off the bump stops.

i have omni power upper control arms, probably the most adjustment you can get, there is a pinch weld type thing that limits the length of the upper control arm which in turn limits the adjustment on the ball joint. You're looking at minitrucker type gear like drop spindles when you want to go "slammed" and have good camber.

That's the kit I was thinking about getting. Has anyone used that style kit before? How low was your car dropped?

Re: Lowered, are camber kits enough? (96accordlxf22b2)
does anyone know what the camber on an eg civic should be in the front and in the back?
i went to a shop to get my camber adjusted and have my car aligned and when i look at my car from the back one wheel still looks tilted in, not much but a lilttle. so i wanted to know what the stock camber is in the front and back so i can go again and tell them what to set it to.
thanx

where the heck did you get an alignment?
they should look it up and set it to oem spec without you having to do anything.
