Default Best and Cheapest Camber kits ( front/rear)

Hey guys. So heres the story...

Kinda had a bad day, started off with a flat tire. As i took the tire off, i noticed i had A LOOOTTTT of camber wear. I was told that using my H&R sports kept me in the stock camber "zone" and that i shouldnt expect excess camber wear ( although of course there would be more than stock)

But my tires are maybe 6 months old and already the inside is down to 30-40%, while the outside remains at 90%+.

So im gunna get the tires flipped, but i need to prevent this from happening in the future, as I cant shell out big $$$ on tires every year.

What is the best and cheapest camber kits around.

I know "best" and "cheapest" never should be in the same sentence, but seriously, if ur OBX camber kit is working 100% flawlessly, I want to know about it.

So far ive got the Ive heard the ingalls from kit is good and VERY cheap. while the SPC rear kit is also very good, and relatively cheap.

Is this a good combo? or can i just go full ignalls?

I havent found a place that sells SPC locally, and im VERY against ebay ( bad experience) so id prefer to deal with my local shop if at all possible.

Please list and and all Good cheap camber kits out there.

Are Civic Si and RSX camber kits the same as the Em2 chassis?

Do omnipower make kits that work on our car?( i can get them for cheap)

You sure that's not toe wear instead?

You won't see camber wear unless you have a significant amount...even then it's debatable if your other specs are normal.

The only camber kit you'd ever need os for the rear. The front will stay in spec no matter how much you lower it...that's why I think you have other issues going on.

ep3/dc5/em2 are all the same camber kits, use whichever.

i've had ingalls, pretty good. sold it and got spc, after about a year it has completely rusted over, and its hard to adjust without force.

but whichever you get, it'll do the job right and work the same. i say get the camber kit, and get an alignment right after.

Will toe cause wear ONLY on the inside of the tire?

Toe issues + camber will cause that. Camber by itself is usually not a problem.

im running camber plates in the front and t1r camber arms in the rear

t1r is reasonably priced ($150) and the entire arm is made of aircraft aluminum unlike skunk2 which is a mix of aluminum/steel and spc is just steel

well i have had three different camber kits...i have found that 1: more $$$ dont mean better kit 2: get polyurethane bushings when u go searchin for one 3: depends on how low ur gonna go

i had a ingalls one and demolished it in 3 months bought a SPC one and the same thing happened in 4 months. the bushings jus blew out of them. now i have Ksport one with poly bushings...im hoping that this one can handle the extreme angle and duty that have a low car puts on the camber arm.

my car obviously is an "extreme" case that calls for the camber arm/kit to take a huge amount of pressure considering the angle that the arm is on and the stiffness of my suspension.

i hope this helps out a lil bit.

also i bought my Ksport from ebay, $108 shipped. you will have a better ebay experience if you deal with a store rather than an individual seller. i called ksport to ensure that the seller i was dealing with was authorized dealer and everything ahead of time.
