those kits suck, i hear they slip alot. just keep rotating ur tires until u save up for a good camber kit like ingalls, skunk2, progress, etc

Why are you worried about the camber? It's not hurting anything; in fact, a proper amount of it is good for cornering.

I love what this guy said. I agree. My car has a little camber also but has a good alignment. Tires are good. i go threw a set of tires every two years or 2 1/2 or about every 30 - 40 thousand miles!

Like everyone already siad, just get an alignment done. It's cheaper then getting tires every other month.

Some places will not touch it if you don't have camber kits installed. They will also try and push you to have it done and charge you an arm and a leg to do it.

Save up and get camber kits.

No double-wishbone Civic/CRX/Integra chassis has a camber adjustment from the factory.

If you're "strapped for cash," I don't understand why you're blowing money on something that isn't even a problem.

camber kits are for perfectionists.

bad toe kills, not camber.

example: i had an integra with whacked out toe because i switched the entire front suspension with a different set, and i adjusted the toe by hand and never took it to the shop cause i was broke. so a month rolls by and my perfect tires are already BALD!!!

No, you won't be able to adjust camber without a camber kit. What I am telling you is that you don't really need to adjust the camber.

You can have perfect camber alignment and all, but if your toe is not aligned(which is very very important for tire life) then your not in it to win it.

i understad that if i have bad toe my tires will be gone very shortly but if u have a lot of negative camber you will just burn off the inside of your tire. im running tokico blues and tokico springs. i sold my last set of rims before the winter and put these stock crx si alloys on for the winter.

Not really. It's the toe-out from lowering that causes the extreme inside shoulder wear up front, not the negative camber. I run several degrees of camber and have no uneven tire wear at all, because my toe is set to 0.00" all the way around.
