Default CAMBER KIT HELP

Hi, can anyone tell me what kind of brand that carry camber kit and allow more than -/+5 degrees of adjustment? I'm currently using skunk2 -/+3 but it's not enough for me. Thanks.

If you need more than 3 degrees, then you're too low or your suspension is far off. If the skunk2 kit wont fix it, why not add on an ingalls style kit to give you a bit more adjustment.

I personally wouldn't use a sliding UCA bushing with an adjustable UCA. It just sounds like its asking for issues with something in there moving out of adjustment over time.

You're going to need ot provide a lot more information to get any useful answers here. Asking for -/+5 is absurd. You either need more, or less, negative camber, but there is no reason at all to need that much adjustment range. You also didn't bother to list what car this is for (DA or DC), and what you intend to do with it (Street, auto-x, HPDE).

When I had an Ingalls UCA bushing kit, I was only able to get -2.4* camber, and it wasn't enough. Now that I have a set of SPC UCAs up there, I can get -4.0* of camber with the adjuster maxed out at my current ride height (currently running that full -4.0* too). While I really can't think of a reason to need more than -4.0* of front camber, I could just lower the car further to get more camber if I needed it. Also, flipping the UCAs left to right on an EG/DC chassis will result in a little more negative camber, and about 1.5* more caster, which I have already done.

If this is for a street car that is lowered way too far, and you aren't able to get back to factory camber levels with an adjuster, then you're an idiot. Factory camber settings are designed for a stock car. A lowered car has different spring rates, center of gravity, roll center, camber curve, (sometimes) caster, and (sometimes) toe. Because of the differences, stock camber is not the correct camber setting for a lowered car.

Hi, I'm sorry for the lack info..

My car is a 1996 LS 2 DR Integra. I'm using skunk2 coilovers and run on 17" rims. I didn't really lowered my car that much.. i'm guessing it's only 2" dropped. I notice my car was pulling whenever i'm on the freeway or on bad road.. it's doesn't keep balance like a stock car. I thought after i bought my current skunk2 camber kit .. the problem will be solve.. but somehow firestone couldn't max out my degree and said that i needed a new one.. that support more than -/+5 degrees. That's funny because i know other people's cars are lowered than mine but they didn't even needed that much. Firestone even mention that my camber kit must be damage when i ran over a pot hole because one of them is bent.. and they recommanded me to get a new one. I've searched every but the most i came to find is skunk2 pro that over -/+5 degrees.

P.S
If i remember right... firestone's alignment result showed that my left is 1.5" when it should be 0. In this case.. what should i do?

Thanks.

What do you mean? Buy ingalls camber kit and replaced my skunk2 camber kit? Isn't skunk2 a better brand?
