hey all just slammed my rex and i needed to know what is the best front camber kit was. Skunk2 doesnt make one for the CRX specifically but i was wondering if any of the integra camber kits would fit the front.

 

is this car for handling or looks. if it is for handling you want the camber just get an alignment to fix your toe. you won't notice too much tire wear anyway if you just fix your toe. camber does not cause tire wear as much as you think. its toe. imho camber kit waste of money

 

Then why is everyone bent on telling me to get camber kits or else i cant fix my tire wear?

 

Bump

 

Well i didn't slam my car i only lowered it 1.25" from tokico. I bought the crx camber kit with adjustable ball joints. Took it for an alignment and guy didn't need to adjust them. it was overkill on my part. He does adjust your tie rods though!

 

So the general consensus is front camber kits are not needed just an alignment?

 

Well slammed is different than normal lowering springs!!
You will need all the help possible if your talking 2.5"or more

 

Yeah Im at about 2.5 or 2.75 inches, so that means i need the camber kits front and rear right?

 

Yes get a camber kit and use washers on the back.

Exactly. Toe is going to kill your tires not the camber. I run almost 3deg up front and no uneven wear. I even have a camber kit in the rear to GAIN MORE camber as lowering it did not create enough for how I like my car setup.

ppl who understand how tires wear will agree.

because they believe the lies.

you must get an alignment everytime you change ride heights. plain and simple. THATS the rule that everyone should be told. not simply "get a camber kit".

if you are drag racing, then you would want to even your camber as much as possible for straight line grip. but for handling, keep the negative camber for grip.

you do the alignment (fix toe, adjust tie rods) to save your tires.
