CLAIRIFICATION question about camber kits.
What does it mean when the cambers is from 1.25+ to 3+. Does that mean that instantly when i install it, it will add 1.25+ camber to my car. And then i can adjust 2.75+ further positive? Thanks!

Are you sure it doesn't say -1.25 through 3+?
It means that you can set it anywhere within those ranges and change it as you see fit.

I have been looking for a front camber kit for my '88 CRX Si and as I understand it when it says +1.25 to +3.50 that is the actual range of camber adjustment. But why would anyone want that much + camber? Street cars want near 0 camber and road race cars like - camber depending on the car and tire as much as -5 deg.
Skunk 2 looks like what I'll buy. My CRX is road race only so I want a lot of adjustment.
Good luck.

Possilby they may be advertising the fact that at stock height the chamber kits make these adjustments however if you lower the car, that automatically creates negative chamber and so you'd need positive to correct it......far strech I know but it is logical.

Spade just did. Why don't you take the time to read it?
When you lower the car, you get negative camber. You use the kit to correct it. Let's say you lowered your 92-95 Civic 2 inches. Experience tells me that your front tires now have -2 degrees of camber. Put that camber kit on there, and take it to an alignment shop. Take it to another alignment shop, and yet another, until you find one willing to do your alignment. Pay out the *** for having custom parts. Now you're back within OEM spec camber. Or, if you throw on that kit yourself, and slide it all the way to the minimum amount of correction (you said 1.25 degrees), -2 + 1.25 = -.75 degrees. Your camber will be roughly -.75 degrees. That's acceptable. You still need an alignment to correct the toe.
If it's a track only car, obviously that range of adjustment is not going to be useful for you. SPC and other companies make different kits with different ranges of adjustment. Look for something that will go like -1.5 to +1.5.

when you lower your car, camber will be off. camber kits will correct it from 1.25-3 and make it back to the 0 where it is suppose to be
