Default YAY OR NAY(camber issue)

Just wondering, I need one for my car and wanted to know if anyone has any input on this kit or a similar one. Its going on an '89 HB 1.5-2.0 inch drop on all four corners with nuspeed springs and tokico blues. I should also mention I run 17s most of the time. searched but dont know crap about alignment and kits so dont even know if this is a common setup. TIA.

I have that "style" of kit on the front of my CRX. You may run into clearance issues with the seam inside the fender, depending on how low you are. I had problems with mine, and I just took a disc grinder to that little lip inside the fender to clear up a little more space.

A customer brought in those same pieces last year and I installed them onto his DA Integra. It works, but the front pieces were a bitch to set into place where you wanted the camber adjustment to be since the bolt wouldn't tighten down by hand so I had to zap it with the gun until it was close enough to where I could tap it into place before tightening everything down. The rears, I set them both the same but one side was way off compared to the other when I lowered the car. Don't think it was the guy's car or suspension but just some funky parts. I had to turn the joint quite a bit in order to get rid of the positive camber I got from it.

After everything was on and done, it works. But it's a pretty jenky kit IMO.

i believe nopi sells the spc kits. you can also buy them through most tire/alignment shops. at work (kia dealership) we have an account through a place that can get spc pretty easily so they are not hard parts to obtain.

i may be running a spc soon as well since my visions are only adjustable for negative camber in the front...cool for track days. bad for tire wear for daily driving.
