Default best camber kit for a 93 H/B

Sorry to start a tread on this cause i am sure there is one close to it already but, the search is messed up and i need to know. I am looking for a front and rear camder kit for my 93 si. I was thinking of getting the skunk2s but wanted to see what you guys thought of those first and if there was anything better out there?

thanks

If you must, do the washer trick on the rear.

Here is my experience with lowered civic:

I'm lowered 3" on 205/40/16 (and that's scary sometimes). My tread-wear is fine. My last set of BFG Euro TAs (same size) lasted at least 45,000 miles. It could have been more, but I don't remember exactly when I got my rims...

You shouldn't need a camber kit (I don't have any). Just make sure to get an alignment if you haven't already. The lowering causes static toe settings to change pretty drastically. Bad toe setting will cause the cambered edge of your tires to wear rapidly since they are now scrubbing the ground. If toe has truly been zeroed out, you should not experience any camber wear. After all, some sharp corners easily move the normal wear back to the outside shoulder...

With you being dropped 3" do you have problems with your axles?

I also hope to gain some rear camber when I do my drop. I have eibach sports now but my GCs are here and I got the front hats as pictured in your avatar.

I planned on following grassroot's setup for the si they run.

I have no problems with my axles, but I have the stock D-Series motor. I'm very sure that a B-series would not have any problems either. It may cause problems if your using an H or K motor, but I can't say for sure. I know the K & H motors sit much lower, so you can't lower the car that much anyways (without risking oil pan damage)...

You will definently get more static camber in the rear, and the top hats are a very good idea for the front end...

Thanks for the reply. I am running a b16. Can't wait to install this all and learn the car with the new setup.
