Default Rear camber kit problem HELP!!!

I just purchased a K Sport rear camber kit for a 2005 Honda Civic Ex to align my wheels, and I noticed that the kit did not come with an abs bracket ... Before i started messing with it I wanted to know whether it was supposed to come with one or if I'm suppose to use the factory one? Help me out guys

Grab a couple zip ties, and your problem is solved.

Yes zip ties will hold the abs wires up.

T1R's rear kit doesn't have brackets, and my zip ties have held for over a year of Summer driving and track abuse.

Considering K-Sport's coilovers are pure garbage, I wouldn't have wasted a dime on any other product they make. But, I've seen a couple instances of good fortune, when it comes to their rear camber kit.

a good camber kit would have come with the bracket for the abs wiring. i have installed many kits and they have always come with the bracket. you might be able to call the company you got them from and see if the bracket is available

Not necessarily, considering most of these kits are cross-platform design. And, in Canada, there are RSX's that do not come with ABS, making that bracket obsolete. Also, certain track enthusiasts rid themselves of ABS all together (myself included).
