Default TEIN camber plates

What the hell is this? I didn't even think that the older civics could use camber plates. Would be interesting to see if these work for the EP3/DC5 though.

You can get these for the DC5/EP3. You can buy them seperatly for around 200 or so. You can use these for the SS and up versions.

I've got em on my Tein SS-P's. Yes they'll work. I haven't had mine aligned yet. The camber in the front looks alright. The rear camber is off by about -4 degrees. lol.

Anyone know the diameter of the hole through the mount? Can they be used on top of Konis or stock struts as well?

EDIT... these are add-on plates to things like the SS which use the stock upper mounts yes? I think I'm going to answer my own question, they will fit since the nut that goes on top has to be the same size.

camber kits with that design even on different chassis inside the fenderwell or inside the engine bay are very simple to adjust. this is opposed to say SPC style kits out there. this would be the only style camber kit I would ever run again (not using a camber kit right now, but i've had spc style kits in the past) but if I was in the market to run a kit it would definately be something like this tein or preferably the BC coilovers come preassembled with a similar setup for the dc5/ep3 platform.

The one thing I did notice is that Tein uses 70mm ID springs (thats 2.7") which aren't really standard. If the upper spring seat isn't built into the bottom plate of the pillowball, then yeah, you probably can use any upper seat you want, but if it is built in, you'd have to machine down the seat to 2.5" or whatever ID springs you got so you could use them.
I'm gonna call monday and find out, I'd like to know myself.

Buddy club has a similar version to this as well. not so great for reducing camber though
From what i recall it also changes caster a slight bit. take that with a grain of salt though
