well... i've read plenty of mixed reviews and i came to the conclusion that i'm right where i started. confused... anyway:

i drive a 94 del sol S and i wanted to purchase the omnipower front camber kit. my question is: is a camber correction kit needed? my fronts definately look like flying saucers. i'm dropped at 2.5 inches on H&R RACE springs and plan to buy koni yellows in the future.

it just seems logical though. the entire camber and weight distributed unevenly on the tires causing wear in different areas. i'm hesitant because people say all you need to do is correct your toe. i want to save money and not get one if i do not need to. but if it helps... then why not.

 

I was in the same boat you are and I decided to just buy it and install it. They are cheaper then tires, and it wouldn't be like it hurts to have it on. I have heard about setting your toe to 0 and having no problems as well... I just said expletive it though. Why not have correct toe AND camber?

 

you should get a camber kit if youre 2.5" lower. i did the same ans got the spc rear upper control arms and skunk 2 front camber kit. works great after you get an alignment.

 

negative camber is good for the corners, no camber is good for drag racing. don't buy a camber kit just to save your tires, it really won't do much, that's what the alignment is for.

 

here's my experience. I had a camber kit on my old bubble and that thing use to slip and get loose. It was an ingalls kit so i hope the skunk2 one is better since its the whole upper arm. Then it started to squeak on every bump or uneven road. since then i have bought a coupe have about a 2inch drop and its fine. The tires wear out pretty quick but to keep up with the wear just take it to a tire shop every 3 or 4 months and get the tires switched so that the negative camber is on the outside and you can use up the other side of the tire. This has worked for me and it only costs abotu $30 to get them switched around.

 

Well… I’m getting a package from a Honda-Tech sponsor. 580$ for KONI yellows and the OMNIPOWER front camber kit. 460$ for just the koni yellows and 160$ for the camber. (save 40$) I have washers in the rear already so that’s not a problem. I guess I’m just going with the shocks alone. Fudge the camber kit…unless my research leads me i another direction.

 

:::this is my opinion on camber kits:::
its been over a year and i still have good thread on my front tires
it was the best investment for my car IMO...I have the omni powers

 

omnipower camber kit is a good choice #1

 

i've been driving my 93 si for a year now with no camber kit, and full koni yellow coilovers. i set the toe in spec, and the camber was out, but it was even on both sides. i have very minimal wear on the tires.

does it look cambered?

 

the front does, but the rear doesn't look too bad.

 

if you slammed get it unless you like buying new tires every 3 months.

 

yay
