what car?

what year?

what suspension are you using?

is that a generic picture or the actual stuff for your car.

one tip for you, get some quality stuff because you'll counting on it to hold up the weight and the force.

ingall's camber kit is top notch

beware if you are lowering too much and on some model, the camber kit wouldn't clear.

you might need to roll the fender with it.

2-3 inch you should be fine.

the back you can fix with couple of washer and longer bolt, which cost less than 10 buck from homedepot, do that to the rear and buy the front from ingall(SP??)

That kit looks like crap... Save up some money and get a nicer kit made by ingalls or any other company that has a good reputation. I think mine is from spc or something like that, they are pretty nice and I shopped around and got the front and rear (complete control arm kit) for $100 or so.

how low are you dropped anyway?? like iam7head said, some kits wont clear... but if youre not dropped over 2" i dont think you even need a camber kit, just a good alignment should be good.

The cars low, around 2-2.5, maybe lower,
what about this kit (spc kit)

or this? (ingalls kit)

or this? (intrax kit)


I just found this kit on ebay with a lifetime warranty, as long as i own the vehicle the warranty is there, what do you guys think?

I have ingalls ball joint camber kits but are hitting all the time in my upper wheel well. I'm looking for a type like those Intrax control arms. Any other company out there makes the whole camber correcting control arm for the 5th accord? I'm trying to solve this clearance problem withought cutting out my wheel wells.

yeah for some reason this seems to be pretty new or something to the accord guys. Cuz i don't think the whole adjusting camber control arm has been out that long for accords. I don't know, it could just be me.

Heck, I'll get one if I can find one. I'm not all that happy with the way mine is now. I have the upper control arm camber kit but I wish I didn't come with the polyurathane bushings. What a pain in the ***.

so ar adjustable control arms the best to get up front, on the 4g accords. im gonna do 18x7.5 and ground controls, and i dont want to worry about baggin fenders and shXX, ive seen adjustable items for the front of the accords and i ve seen the reg camber kits, whats the best setup for worry free driving?

yeah but for some the camber is necessary like for me cuz i auto-x some. Not only that my ball joints were shot so i figured kill 2 birds with one stone and get the ingalls adj. ball joints. Which i now am reconsidering.

Where in the world did you find the front adjustable control arm for you accord. Ive looked everywhere and i cant find it. I have the option of cution out my fender well for the typical camber kit but i really dont want to have to resort to that. If you could help me in any way possible i would greatly appreciate it!
