Default looking for camber/caster kit for 95 civic

does anyone know of any kits that also adjust caster? I was looking on the SPC website I know they use to have them but now it does not show them. If anyone has any insight into this it would be much appreciated

i dont believe the caster is adjustable on your car. i dont think theres a kit for that either.
eibach makes kits for your front and rear camber i believe. i hear there good kits.

yeah I got camber kits in the front the tech at the alignment shop said I need to get caster adjustments too car pulls like crazy to the right, but there is no tire wear indicating bad camber. I know spc use to have them but now that I have the money they are not listed

Tire wear is actually a better indicator of bad "Toe" settings. Camber really doesn't effect tire wear UNLESS the toe settings are off.

If your cars caster is off, then you definently have something in the suspension that is either bent, or not put together correctly. If you try to fix a problem like that with camber & caster adjustment, you will only be increasing "bump-steer" more (which can make the car unpredictable over rough road)...

Locate the problem part & replace it with new OEM...

If you don't see any obvious impact points on the suspension (scratches or chips), then you may want to remove the parts from either side of the vehicle & compare them side by side. I found a bent rear LCA with this method once.

Other than that, I can't really say. You may need professional help from a body shop to pinpoint the problem...
