Camber Kit
I just bought the eibach prokit for my 91 civic si and have been looking at camber kits. I'm not really sure what to look for but I know I want a kit that works well for under 100. Any suggestions?
I think that camber kits are waste of money imo. If uneven tire wear is the reason for you wanting one, toe is your problem, not camber. However, if you really want to get one, dont go cheap. Get skunk2, ingalls, etc...
An alignment shop will adjust your toe. Be sure and get them to set it to zero.
Alot of shops(at least in my area)wont set the toe to zero and they will tell you to get a camber kit because neg camber and zero toe isnt in factory spec. They dont realize that when a car is lowered, the factory specs no longer apply.
Usually a repuatable shop wont give you any problems.

yea just adjusting the toe is good enough. zeroing that will improve tread wear a lot.
and ive heard some stories of camber kits tearing shock towers on lowered cars.

Also, if you are slammed, a camber kit will reduce what little suspension travel you have. They are bigger than the oem upper control arms and are more likely to hit the fender well.

This is FACT. There's many people out there who "dump" their rides... tell them to show you pictures of their shock towers. haha I garantee you if they don't have a refabbed tower, there's pretty good indentations or holes there for your viewing pleasure.

heh my car has been lowered for 6 years, and I don't have so much as a dent in my shock towers. I attribute that to never having any sort of camber kit. 
Camber correction is 100% NOT needed with ProKit springs.

plus you can still make U turns, without any rubbage with your ride height.

You will not need a camber adjuster kit with Eibach Pro Kit springs.
To eliminate uneven tire wear, you will need to have the car aligned to set the toe after the springs are installed and the bushings are reset. Make sure all ball joints and bushings are tight and free of play before the car is aligned.
If you find that you need additional negative camber for handling and balance purposes, the only off-the-shelf camber adjuster kit you should buy for an '88-91 Civic is the Skunk2 Pro Series. Nothing else is worth buying. Yes, it's more than $100 (it's $253 and currently backordered), but I guarantee that you will have problems with anything else.
