i think it is advised to get a camber kit if you lower a honda. i heard its not neccessary and should only be used for changing the camber for road racing or something. well i want get them coz i dont want to run down tires every 2 months or soo

You do need some special tool to pop the ball joint out. I used a small gear puller to do that.

Sorry I don't have a pic. But that's the joint where the upper A-arm connected to the steering knuckle with a pin and a pin nut.

Now that someone came up with the topic. I have another question:

On a teg R, how much you can lower it before you need to install a camber correction kit?

For 1.5" to 2.0" lowering, do you need the kit?
