Default Sway bar and camber kit

ok spring break is coming up so thats when ill change most of the stuff so if anything breaks ill have time to fix it. This is for sts in solo2

anybody have any recomendations on which camber kits to get for the front and back
with the new springs (600/600) it has about -.5 degrees on all wheels

i also plan on adding a rear sway bar not sure what kind
with the springs it seemed to handle pretty neutral so i want a little more oversteer

This is on a 01 integra gsr
koni yellows
600f/600r GC

You may gain enough camber just by lowering the car. If you are trying to get rid of the rear camber, see if the bolt and washer trick works for your car like it does the Civics.

bars all work the same
check rules for reinforcement
testing is the key

camber? go lower
if you don't want to then you
don't need every tenth

half a degree wont
hurt your tires without toe
keep on searching Now!

oh i didnt mean i care about my tires i meant that most posts on camber kits in the suspension forum are about that

rules for reinforcment have changed to this

14.7 ANTI-SWAY BARS

Substitution, addition, or removal of any anti-roll bar(s) is

permitted. Bushing material, method of attachment, and locating

points are unrestricted. Components such as anti-roll bars and strut

housings that serve dual purposes by also functioning as

suspension locators may not be modified in ways that change the

suspension geometry or steering geometry. Non-standard lateral

members which connect between the brackets for the bar are not permitted.

so for camber i should just lower it to how ever much camber i want and skip the camber kits

Well, don't go so low that you're bottoming out your shocks, but most people seem to be able to get the camber they need without the kits.

there's a thread here somewhere on the legality of these, but someone else will have to find it. I'm lazy when I can't write poems.

I use the Beaks pieces on the same chassis without problems and at lower spring rates than yours.
