I have talked to a couple of local shops and they dont know. Ive done some searching. I am not 100% sure but I think Ingalls and Eibach make camber kits for my 1991 crx. Blox only makes the rear, I am only interested in the front.

I think I want a kit that replaces the A-arm. I dont know much about suspension. I know I just want a good camber kit

Im excited about wheels and tires but should take care of this first.

Where can I get a good camber kit for my crx please?

Thank you.

 

Why do you think you need a camber kit? Are you wanting to add more negative camber for handling reasons?

You should not need a camber kit just because you lowered your car and you want to prevent tire wear issues. Any shop that tells you that you need it is either uninformed, or they want to sell you extra parts.

Camber kits have been mis-construed as the must-have to prevent excessive inner tire wear. In reality, most of the tire wear can be prevented by simply getting an alignment where the toe is set to stock specifications.

welcome to suspension forum....

 

Wow. Thank you. I was interested in a camber kit for tire wear purposes.
So im a little confused. Maybe you can explain

If you take a stock car and lower it, isnt the toe still stock? When does toe slip out of stock specifications?

And you say MOST of uneven tirewear can be addressed via an allignment. Does that mean I do need a camber kit if I want perfectly even treadwear(which is what I want)?

absolutely NOT.

toe changes with ride height, and changes in camber. toe is the reason why tires wear unevenly. toe angles are much more sensative to tire wear than camber angles.

you really dont have to worry about camber.


really.

you MUST get an alignment after changing ride heights, or camber.

and there really is no room for a camber kit in a EF/CRX to add positive camber. forget about. besides, negative camber is good for handling.

 

Alright
So I can throw on 15x7 wheels on my crx, which is on Tein Ha, with a drop less than 2", get alligned and wham bam, tire wear will be even just like that?

Also what benefits come of installing a toe kit?

 

there is no toe "kit". you adjust by the stock tie rods which have plenty of adjustment. its a very normal thing to do.

adjusting static toe can be tuned for performance. quite frankly, just set the tires as close to the middle of the spec as possible and call it a day.

 

he might have been referring to adjustable rear toe compensator arms, which have been discussed on here before and are also not a good idea. Stick with stock.

 

Thank you both. I will stick to stock.

One more question. My car is on 14inch steelies right now and I am experiencing uneven wear. If I get an allignment now will I need another one once I get 15 inch wheels?

 

no, toe doesnt change when you change wheels. or at least much.
