Default what camber kit to get?

Ok so ive got a crx with integra brakes swapped over and my cars dropped
on coil overs and some decent shocks. But now my cambers way outta wack.
So im going to get a camber kit, so I want to get a nice one,
not one of those you have to incorprote into your upper control arm,
but basically the whole piece.

Which brands would you guys recommend and would not recommend?

Im thinking of spending in between 100-200 for a kit.

Wait so you want the control arm with it or no?

I myself use a SPC camber kit and am quite happy with it.

spend $60-90 on an alignment instead and youll save your tires.

negative camber is good.

bad toe alignment is not.

Good point, although negative camber is only good to a point.

Yeah with the arm. Something like the skunk2 makes or something.

But also can I use the kit they make for the integra and the newer civics or
are they different in some way. They look to be the same from their pics,
but they dont offer the same kit for the ef's as they do for the da's and ek's and
eg's

you wont get negative camber past an unacceptable point on a CRX with double wishbone suspension.

you will with a mustang or an eclipse. we are talking about CRX's and hondas.

later civics and integra arms wont work. the geometry is completely different.

revo is some cheap brandname on ebay now offering some kit to fit CRX/civics. but you will have to pound out the inner fender in order for it to fit apparently. there really isnt any room under there for these things.

really, youre wasting you money. you need to get an alignment.

You can get to an overly negitive for street driving alteast for what I'd want to keep my tires lasting.

youre overlooking the change in toe. its not the camber.

the industry has lied to you all these years.....

fix TOE. not camber.

-3 degrees of camber is not a big deal.

I understand the toe issues but even with propper toe would you say that -3 camber is fine for daily driving?
