Default 99-00 Si Camber Kit

Hey whats up, I just bought a 1999 Civic Si, its got lowering springs on it and the camber is totally whack, horrible inner tread wear on tires that are a year old. I was curious as to which camber kit i needed to buy. I know the chassis code for a 99-00 is EM1, but it seems no one sells camber kits, etc. for EM1. So I guess my question is to I buy the EJ or the EK kits or something? I really want the Skunk2 set-up all around. If someone could help me out I would appreciate it tons. Thanks in advance.

Dustin

just get a camber kit with control arms and has the slider to adjust. then do the washer trick to the rear tires. use like an angle measure tool to get it close to zero. then go balance those tires and get an alignment!

Why buy a camber kit to fix your toe-out problem when toe is already adjustable from the factory?

Extreme inside shoulder wear resulting from a lowered ride height is caused by toe out (negative toe).

the tire wear on mine is due to the camber, trust me. the toe is fine. I work for a toyota dealership so labor / alignment / rotate / balance all free cause i do the work myself, so i know the toe is good. but i talked to Sunk2 and they gave me the part numbers, and i also spoke with a buddy who has been into hondas for ages and he said 92-00 (maybe 96-00) everything was identical on all models.

Ebay sells lots of different types of camber kits, especially for 99-00 si. Theirs a camber kit (front & back) thats from skunk2, its around $250 or something like that.....

yeah 96-00 ek camber kit would work too! Skunk2 are really good camber kits all round but skunk2 are pretty pricey from time to time depending where you get it from.

If you want to save money you can get the blox control arm camber kit for the front and use washers to angle out the rear tires.

Blox camber kit is exact same as skunk 2 and the washer trick really works.

Good luck with your suspension

money isnt an issue, and i dont cheap out on cars. I'm not making the thing a cheap POS ricer-boy homo car. Its going to see the track, so no washer tricks or any BS like that. Which is the whole reason i started the thred to find a camber kit, which apparently EK suspension is identical no matter what trim/package you have(DX, Si, EX, etc.) &lt;&lt;--- which i didnt know until 3 days ago.
