Default what rear camber kit is good for autox?

what adjustable upper control arms do you guys run in the rear? i seen pictures of the T1R and some of the ingalls, the ingalls has a larger bushing, but the T1R structure looks like the better build. the car is a 99 EK civic coupe, and i am trying to set up my car for daily driving with the occasional weekend autox. any input?

are you trying to add camber or take it away? to remove camber you can just add washers and longer bolts to where the upper control arm mounts to the car. this is not recomended however because camber is a good thing for handling

i am planning on lowering the car but its gonna be a daily driver, i would rather not wear the inner side of the tires out, i've heard of the washer method, but i want to be easily adjustable.

and camber will not eat tires all that bad if you have zero toe. ive been running -2 degrees on my car daily driven and autoXed every weekend from august to october with no extra inside wear on my hankook RS-2's. i had a set of es100's before this that only lasted 4 months under the same use because my toe was out

You were talking about leaving it as-is, which is not going to be a good idea unless you dont care about chewing up tires.

You will need to take out some of the camber to get the car to rotate. It really makes a huge difference. Thanks to Nate(solo-x) for his helpful advice.
