Default question about which camber kit is better for crx

im trying to tuck a set of offset xxr 501 rims with falken azenis 205/50 15 tires but i have a adjustable camber kit that i bought on ebay for like 50 dollars the ones that you install in the stock camber bracket , but is not giving me that much of a camber, it only gives a small space to adjust.

question: is it because is the front , and you can only adjust it a little. not like the back ones which you can adjust it however you want.

or is it that i need the skunk2 front camber kit which comes with the bracket and ball joint ??? also expensive like 200 or more.

will it give me the same space to adjust or more????

please give me your opinion

if you would take the time to read what you are buying the products list the amount of adjustment they give. Nobody here is going to spoon-feed you information easily accessible to even a child. Try Google.

Seems like a valid question to me.
I don't have an answer for you though.

Probably better to ask people what they personally use rather than 'what is the best'.
Everyone will have an opinion on 'what is best'!

Anyway, you will have to let people know how much you have lowered your car.
Different camber solutions work differently depending on your ride height.

whats the offset of the wheels?

you can fit 205's. it just rubs the plastic inner fender. you might just want to take that out completely and roll the fender lip out just a bit. at least bend up the inner edge.

i dont see a need for a camber kit. you want negative camber to help fit it in. putting any kit in there is not helping you.

Just lowering the car with shorter springs or a lower position with coilovers adds negative camber to the second generation CRX.

When I got mine the springs were shot, the front was so low it had excessive (about 4 degrees) of negative camber. I tried a cheap set of the slotted bushings that locate the upper control arm further out from the chassis. To get the camber to a reasonable point, the adjuster pushed the UCA far enough out that the chassis sat on top of the arm when the jack was lowered.

On my Integra I did have a set of the UCA that allow the ball joint to be positioned where you can get the camber you want regardless of ride height. They were easy to work with, and I would recommend them.

The set I had were not a name brand and I did make a plate that covered the top and drilled out the threaded holes to replace them with bigger bolts and nuts.

i have the skunk2 front kit. i like it so far. better than the adjustable ball joints i had in before. i had more of an issue with the rear wheels hitting the quarter than on the fronts.
