my camber is off... eatting tires like no other day. Which camber kit would you guys recommen me to buy... I was thinking SKUNK2 .

Im looking for the front camber kit, need something good that can fix my problem.


So whats the best camber kit they make out there and who makes it. Need to buy one fast so please give me some advise on what brands.


Thanks

 

i think skunk2 holds the crown so far

 

ive got skunk 2.. only good from that!!!

 

what are the specs on your toe in/out? camber itself doesnt eat tires, it makes them more succeptible to wear from toe.

first step would be to get an alignment and have the shop zero your toe.
if youre dead set on having a camber kit the i would probably go skunk2 as well

explain.. how is that??

 

everyone tells me i need a camber kit.... form the looks of it I do. the toe I believe is way off, I want to have them adjust the camber and do the toe the same time instead of just doing the toe and I end up paying double.


So skunk2 is 1 so far... how about OMNI.... guy on ebay wants 150 shipped and he gives the back camber i believe... also call shim kit

skunk 2 is the same price but not back camber kit.

 

Thanks for the fast reply guys!!!!!!

*forgive my oversimplification, im sure someone can explain it better*
when toe is out of spec, the tires are like /--\ (looking down) so as they roll, they are constantly pushing against one another and slipping horizintally. camber would put slightly more pressure on the inside edge, which the slip would then accentuate the wear on that inside edge.

but even if toe is correct.. camber will have a lot to do with wear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cause it is still riding like there is massive toe..

 

i havent heard about omni but same thing i guess.. i got my skunk 2 for 150 shipped.. lots places got them on sale

 

if toe is correct, how is it riding like there is massive toe?
ive seen cars with upwards of 5* negative camber, with a good alignment i/e zero toe, and NO abnormal tire wear

 

i would love to see that... cause my toe was perfect on my car and is on my bro and is on my friends.. and all there tires are goin to ****........... massive camber... and i have a camber kit.. and my stuff dont wear

 

I have an SPC kit, I don't think you can get a *shitty* camber kit, there's not much to them cept some balljoints...

i have -2 camber in the back
i have -1 camber in the front

my tire's are perfect almost, except for inner tire wear, which i rotate every 1000 miles from front/back and every 3000 miles, i bring it to wheel works and i flip the tires around so they wear on the other edge

my toe was way off, in 1 week, the tires were gone, now i fixed it, tire wear is almost same as stock..

if your tire wears out prematurely, it's more toe issue than camber...camber wont eat your tires at all, they'll just wear them on the insides</TD></TR></TABLE>

if u had a camber kit.. u wouldnt have to swap tire side... and i dont know any normal honda that wear that bad in 3000 miles!!!! tires are sopoes to last years ........ camber def does eat ur tires... its called the inside.. just like toe does.... but if toe is fixed camber is still there!!!!!!!!!

 

My civic is lowered 3" with 205/40/16. It's been that way for 6 years and 55k miles (replaced tire two years ago). I have NO camber kit and never will. I never experienced any wearing problems. Get those toe setting checked out. 0 toe, it not the same as 0.00 toe, so make sure the shop does it accuratly.

 

well do. Thanks for the info guys


my tires are wearing on the side FYI

 

omni kit

 

This thread sucks. Tons of people are dumped w/o camber kits and have no abnormal tire wear.

The only reason I have a camber kit is cause I hate the look of negative camber.
