Rear Shim Kit vs. Rear Camber arms
whats up ya'll? i just recently bought the omni power front camber kit and the rear shim kit for my 99 civic coupe on h&r race springs. I was wondering if purchasing the rear camber arms were necessary or will the rear shim kit do the trick. i plan on taking it out on a 8 hour trip so i want to know if it will also hold up. Any answers will be greatly appreciated!

I used 3 I think when I corrected mine, 3 on each bolt of the upper arm. So 6 on each side.
You can adjust it how you like depending on how much camber you like.

i usually only use 2 per bolt, but it all depends on how dumped you are, if you have 2.0-2.5" of drop usually 2 per bolt gets you into factory specs (i think the limit is -1.2 degrees). once the camber is in factory specs toe can be adjusted into specs and tire wear will be minimum at best.

Watch out for that rear trailing arm bolt seizing up on you if you replace the camber arm. A 10 minute project can easily turn into a 2 day project. Honda rear suspension bolts suck!

UCA bolts getting oxidated and therefore seizing.
Translation: Pain in the *** to get off, you'll need tom pb plaster and maybe an impact driver.
