As a heartattack.


I figured that passwordjdm usually only sells quality stuff, but I didn't know if anybody had experience with Omni's products.

Great quality and nice handling and riding suspension products. Do not buy that kit though, because the camber kits are unnecissary unless you plan to totally slam your car.

Well, I'm on a budget so I'm looking for the best quality for least amount of money. I'm going to get the whole kit because I'd rather have everything I need and everything straightened out so that I don't go through tires.

Camber wear = bad in my book


Thanks for the heads up on their stuff though

A camber kit isn't going to solve your tire wear problems, if that's what you're thinking. Get an alignment instead.

I realize that and am a pretty firm believer.


I was just thinking "hey, this is a new company that makes good stuff, but like most manufacturers they have to start selling their products at a lower price for buyers to buy them"....sound reasonable?

They are not a new company and I repeat. DO NOT GET CAMBER KITS. I would say that 95% of people who got them regrets it because unless it is a major drop you will not need one.

It said on their website that they've been around since '04...so that's pretty new.



So what should be used to get rid of the negative camber?

I'm not going to SLAM it, but it's going to be lowered because I have about 2" of gap between my tires and fenders.

My car is lowered about 1.3 all around. (Eibach pro). After about year and a half I can see camber wear.....I'm going with the new setup now and this time I'm getting camber kit.

You should get NOTHING to "fix" the camber. I'm completely serious too. There is nothing wrong to fix, which is why I use quotes.

Civics and Integras start with very little front suspenion travel to begin with, lowering the car only makes this worse. Adding a replacement UCA, which will have a taller balljoint because of the sliding plate, will reduce this limited travel even further still. You will bottom out more ealily with a camber kit in place. I would only recommend those to people who will be racing the car, and need to dial in an exact camber setting for performance purposes (usually even more camber than just lowering will provide).

Besides the limited suspension travel issue, some negative camber is good for handling. And really, whats the point of spending time and money, reducing ride quality with stiffer springs (needed for the drop), if you aren't going to actually make use of the suspension to corner?
