Been wanting to install a camber kit since purchasing the car. Uneven tire wear and handling issues are starting to get pretty bad. Just wondering what style of kit I should get, along with brands, how much postive camber should I set it at, and would it be a good idea to do the rear as well. I've also heard that handling issues may also be from rack and pinion issues. Feedback.

 

Well it's kind of a personal preference, but remember you get what you pay for. If you can, get the whole arm set up, like skunk2 makes. It's easier to install and adjustment is easier then let's say, then ingalls kit. Which has two parts per side. Meaning if you adjust one side, you have to make two adjustments per side, so 4 adjustments total on the front, where as the full arm design is only 1 adjustment per side. As far as how much positive camber you shold adjust, it kind of depends on how much negative camber you have. Just put up a 2x4 on your rims and put a level on it to get your camber to 0. Hope I didn't confuse you. You can pick up the skunk2 kit for around $150 shipped on ebay from people with 100% positive feedback.

 

Great, thanks. A few other mods that I have been wanting to do is front and rear strut tower bars, as well as aftermarket control arms. Basically I want to upgrade as much of my suspension and handling components as I can without spending and arm and a leg. I have a pretty nice size budget, not rich but not poor if you know what I mean. Shoot me brands, prices, installation difficulty and time.

 

well on my 91 crx i decidet wit TOKICO HP SHOCKS & SPRINGS
it waz a kinda easy to instal the only problem was we getto riged it at first wit some washers but later insated the strut bracket mount things spent about $350 to $400

uneven tire wear is not caused by camber.

you need an alignment. tire wear = bad toe.

camber kits are needed to adjust camber for a variety of reasons, but not for tire wear.


if you have other suspension issues, you need to diagnose them separately. you very well might have a worn steering rack as well. id say almost every crx out there must have a worn one after almost 2 decades.
