Default Hardrace front camber kit?

I am looking at a front camber kit and came across the Hardrace.

Has anyone tried this kit? How is it?

Why do you need a camber kit? Do you need additional camber for track use?

Just wondering because toe is what kills tires after lowering a Honda, not camber.

I actually did not know HardRace had camber kits.

Need additional camber for track use and to also give the same camber for each side. Right now for some reason my ITR springs gives my passenger side more camber then the driver side.

I didn't know they make them either, but came across them on ebay.

I wouldn't recommend getting those UCAs. They look really long which means that (depending on your ride height) they might hit your shock towers

I haven't tried these but I will be picking up a set in the future. I think it's the best kit out in the market today. It's got the Hardrace bushings already fitted and it uses actual bolts instead of allen keys to lock down the ball-joint. Bolts are always better, you could actually get them nice and tight unlike using small allen keys.

Hardrace makes front/rear camber kits and rear toe-arms that utilize all their bushings. They also make spherical rear toe and camber arms, spherical TA bushings, front/rear spherical LCAs and Front Roll-Center adjusters.

Yeah the size of those bolts means it's going to reduce clearance under your shock tower quite a bit.

Odd that you would have more camber on your passenger side. Is it lower than the driver side? Usually the driver side is lower on LHD cars.

Also I don't recommend any kind of adjustable toe compensator link. The reason is that you'll end up with different compensator arm lengths on each side, which could make the car handle differently during right vs. left turns. It will also make the rear toe change unequal amounts during acceleration and braking, which could lead to some twitchy handling.

I had them on my EG. I blew out both ball joint boots in under 1000 miles. They are too long and contact the shock towers. Fail.

Got a slightly used set for sale! Only needs balljoints . . .

Ya I don't know either. Ever since I put my koni yellows and ITR springs on, the passenger side sits higher than the driver side, but when I have it aligned, the passenger side has more camber than the driver side. VERY WIERD!

I don't have any kind of camber kit. Also I hate the look of the passenger side. It just sits too high and looks gay.
