Default camber kit help

i I have an integra and my car is sitting pretty low, its starting to show really bad camber on my front two tires.

The question i have is, if i should just get a really good alignment, or if i should get a camber kit. I have researched alot and just need some personal opinions. I daily drive the car and need something that will be reliable and isnt going to keep eating up tires.

I need some really good opinions on what type of kit to go with.

Any info is much appreciated!!

I'm guessing you never got it aligned when it was lowered?

This is something that is a necessity... the lower you drop the car, the closer the toe needs to be set to zero.

I'm running enough camber that you can see on my track car / daily driver and have no wear issues at all. Camber isn't a bad thing neccessarily.

You need to have an alignment, with the toe set to zero and you should be fine. You'll also probably need new tires.

Er, slow down, and use complete sentences, so we can actually understand you there.

Having issues with the camber in the front? Unless you bent something, you can't really have issues with the camber itself

If you're talking about tire wear, then go get an alignment. Its an incorrect toe setting that kills tires, and toe changes with ride height. Pull the front camber kit, its a waste, and frequently does more harm than good.

If you car is too low to be aligned, remove the front bumper. Generally, its only an issue for either one of 2 things, too low to get on the rack, or too low for the laser that spans the front. Either way, removing the front bumper is usually sufficient.
