Default WHAT CAMBER KIT CAN I USE TO SLAM MY CRX HELP PLEASE!!!!

HI, I HAVE INGALLS STYLE CAMBER KIT FRONT AND REAR ,WHEN I GOT IT ALIGNED i told them to adjust the chamber kit, they said they cant adjust it that much, my chamber kit wont reach or something like that, i get camber wear inside my tires, i went thru a lot of tires!! im on 14 inch hx rims ,

does turning hard messes up your alignment??
what is a good camber kit that can adjust when your cars really low?????
thanks everyone

At your height it seems that you would need adjustable rear arms and front a arms. Vision might have what your looking for.

you need what is called an Extreme Camber kit. search google for it... i think ingalls makes a kit and spc also makes one. usually its for cars needing 2.5 degrees of camber +

BTW how low is your car...?

ingalls makes 2 camber kits for the crx, one for mild drops, and one for extreme,

mine can correct up to 3 degrees of negative camer, you should get that one.

Specialty Products Corporation

They make adjustable balljoint camber kits for the front which are very nice and work like a charm. I have had their kit on my car for almost 3 years now with no problems.

Yes it is like the balljoints shown in that ebay auction. For the rear you can just use high grade washers to shim the upper arm outward to correct the camber in the rear.

Yep, those are it as 91civic stated.
You can shim the rears, but I'd bet your bushings are shot and you'ld be better off just replacing the upper control arm linkage for adjustable ones. Also check out your rear trailing arm compensator arm bushings...they are at the leading edge of the trailing arm bolted under the car ahead of the rear wheel well...these are typically shot as well with a car this old.

After I lowered my $900 Rex I replaced all the bushings and used an entire Energy Suspension Kit, Honda OEM Compensator bushings/arms and Mugen trailing arm bushings. The sucker is amazingly solid around turns now! Most of my bushings were shot due to age and the fact that the original shocks were gone. I wasn't going to spend bucks getting everything nicely aligned/adjusted just to find out I needed to replace some $2 part.
Anyways...just how I approached the same issue on my ride.
Good luck!

You have to have 90-91 type UCA to run the SPCs. The 88-89 ball joints are pressed in.

Yup my ingalls can alos do that, got them for $20 on eBay like 2 years ago, pretty good for a kit that usually sells for over $100
