Hello everybody,

Im trying to purchase a camber kit for my EG and I dont know which camber kit I should buy. Of course Im trying to spend the least amount of money. The overall design of these caber kits all seem to be identical. What do you guy think about this camber kit in question.

Looks like dented shock towers in the making.

That isn't "ebay brand", its "rhino" brand. Ebay doesn't make any parts.

Try searching next time.

Thanks for the quick response

 

The ball joint boot isn't going to last

 

I had some "ebay" cheap rear upper control arms on my 95 Civic track car and 1 of them broke the first time I took it to the track. Sent my car sideways at 90mph just after turn 1 at Nelson Ledges. Scarry. I have had very bad luck with Chinese parts. I would spend a little more and get decent parts you can trust. I now have Wicked front and rear adjsutable uppers and have had no problems. they're not that expensive either.

 

agree but energy suspension makes replacement ball joint booties for our cars. very inexpensive and something i thought i'd mention for those unaware

to the OP, do you actually NEED a camber kit? as long as toe is at zero negative camber isn't too much of a tire wear issue or performance one till you move past -2.5 or -3.0 in the front and -2.0 out back. the rear is simple since you can use the washer trick to dial out some of the camber

 

When i t comes to suspension, I'd suggest paying a little extra. Eibach, SPC, Tein, Ingalls, and Skunk 2 are all decent IMO.

I think the question that needs to be answered first is why you feel you need a camber kit. Is it for adjustability, or are you afraid you'll have uneven wear? If the latter, an alignment with minimal Toe Out / Toe In should be fine. If you run low profile tires (i.e. 205/40/17), a camber kit "might" help control the sensitivity of Toe wear that "could" occur with normal driving.

 

Careful with blanket statements concerning the aspect ratio such as that. The sidewall height depends on both the section width and the aspect ratio. The sidewall on a 205/40-16 is tiny, but a 275/35-15 has a larger sidewall even with the smaller aspect ratio (and a larger total diameter too). Any discussion of aspect ratios needs to include section widths to be meaningful.

 

I had something like that in mind for my Lower Ball Joint but not sure about going that route. I was just thinking about replacing the whole lower ball joint.

 

If you just want the cheapest go with no camber kit. Have your alignment shop. Adjust your toe to zero and have some washers in the back. Also rotate your tires.

But personally if i could and if your not slammed i used some cheap anchor camber kit in the front before my i slammed my car. I had neuspeed race with them.

 

you can if it's needed but the energy ones are VERY easy to install. you just cut off your old booty, re grease and slip on the new one. i have 6 months on some and no signs of leakage or problems. for $6 a set it's not bad

 

^ pepboys also sells oe style replacement boots with the metal coil wire that attaches and retains the boots. they're a bitch to install though

 

Sweet, but I think I should just replace the whole lower ball joint cause the boots have be ripped for a long time and must be shot like the upper ball joint. So I'm just going to re-new the upper & lower ball joints to be better off.

 

you probably will be, just use a quality brand. ball joints are fairly easy to test. if you wiggle them and any loose play is detected, replace.

 

Yeah, they did wiggle bad so I re-booted them for now. So, now I have to wait till Skunk2 releases the upper ball joint and also I'm going to the dealership to order the lower ball joints.

 

Lol good point. Edited above post.
