Default new megan rear camber kit... looks good

What do you guys thing about this rear camber kit that Megan made?
First time i have seen this kind of a camber kit for a prelude.
They look pretty good (never thought i would say that about Megan)
Has anyone had any experience with these?


Edit: Guess i should put the link up

For the lazy ones

waste of money. You can drop a lude about 3 inches and a good tech should be able to get you in spec without a camber kit.

How exactly? You can't shim the rear like you can a Civic.

Those appear to be the toe links. If they are, the only thing they adjust is rear toe, which is already adjustable from the factory. There is no way that's a camber kit for the 4Gen or 5Gen.

Now if they use spherical bearings (which it appears they do), then it might be worth the price.

Thats not a bad number. I was running around 3 (we assume) for a long time. Less then a finger of gap all around on 215/45/17 Azenies with no alignment and yes it hurt the tires but it wasn't the end of the world. 1.3 / 1.7 isn't bad if you are comfortable driving it like that. You might like less, maybe more.

I just got off the phone with megan racing that was a misprint. They do not carry a camber kit for the prelude. I know its on there website but its wrong. They thought it would cross over from the accord which it doesn't.

Thats amazing that a company like this would make that type of mistake.
