Default Camber kit with Sportlines

First of all, yes, I did search. However, I feel the archives did not help me much.

Here is my current suspension/handling setup:
1991 CRX si
Tokico Blues
Eibach sportlines
-(about 1.75-1.80 inch front)
-(about 1.50 inch rear)
Enkei RPF1 (15x7)

My rear is fine, but I just cannot take the front anymore. Tires are wearing down too quickly. I JUST had a full alignment done. Toe is good, as is everything else. So I know camber is the issue.

I am guessing my current Front camber is between about -2.50° to -3.00° (forgot to write the #s down ).
I am thinking maybe -0.5° to -1.0° of camber will be good for Daily driver w/very mild autoX time (does this sound good?).
Handling is my top priority, so I would like to attain the best possible handling while keeping tire wear at a minimum.

I know there are a few kits out there right now and SPC is my first choice (Unless someone can inform me of something better). Which SPC kit is best suited for my situation, the kit with Adjustment range: -1.50° to +1.50° or the kit with +1.50° to +3.00°?
Right now, I am under the impression I should go with the 2nd kit.

I have heard some stories about people rubbing against the inner fender with the SPC kit. My current setup does not rub, and never has.

Any comments/help is greatly appreciated (but opinions from people with similar setups are valued most).

I also heard the old civics gain camber when they bodyroll. Example; Take the front bar off an old civic and it'll roll more but not lose camber

More negative camber is better. When you take a fast corner, the weight transfers forcing the wheel straight up. If you have more negative camber you have more contact patch (good), whereas if you have 0 camber you are running on the sidewall (bad).</FONT></FONT>

Personally, i love the ride. It's great for daily driving/mild track use, but if you have rims (not stock rims, aftermarket ones like 15x7) a camber kit is DEFINATELY needed.

I just installed my SPC upper control arm bushing camber kit. So far so good, it is alot easyer to adjust then the ingulls. I got them on ebay for about $70.00 shiped. It is recommended to get a camber kit installed if your lower or adjust the ride hit on your car.

Good luck this your project....

SPC makes an adjustable upper ball joint, part #67125 that i2 -1.5 to +1.5 adjustable. #67320 is +11.5 to +3.0. I have never had a rub problem out of the 67125 kits,

I highlighted that $70 because the list on the ball joint is $130.
