Default Tein Coilover install....what about camber kit?

2003 Honda Civic Ex

So tomorrow, tein basic coilover suspension kit will be installed on my Ex. I did read in the "frequently asked questions" that it is recommended that you have a camber kit installed no more than 2 weeks after the new coilovers settle in.

My question is... and this is after doing research, how do I know which camber kit will work most effeciently and which kit is most compatible with the new suspension I will have? Obviously I want the smoothest ride and the least amount of tire wear. Any suggestions?

Try skunk2 or buddyclub. If you go on buddy clubs website you can read about the differance between good and bad kits.

I don't know what FAQ you're reading, but there's no reason to get a camber kit and no need to wait 2 weeks for the coilovers to "settle in", camber kits have no effect on ride quality (unless they are hitting the shock towers) and toe is what wears tires the fastest, not camber.

Install the coilovers, get an alignment and have toe zero'd out all around, and you'll be fine.
