I need some advice on what camber kit is best...i have look at the skunk2, buddy club, and blox...which one is the best one? I lowered my teg and i need the kit for the front but would it be a good idea to also get the rear?? Ill be ordering the kit tonight after i get out of my college class so please give me some advice thanks...

 

From the suspension forum:
Sticky: No, you DO NOT need camber kits!!!!!!!!

 

Can you explain why you say you need them for the front? Keep in mind that toe causes the majority of tire wear after you lower a Honda, not negative camber, and a simple alignment where the toe is set to factory specs is really all that's needed to prevent excessive tire wear.

 

skunk2 imo..

 

ill post pics tmrw....the driver said is fine but the passenger side is tilted outwards at the bottom part....i took it to get the front alignment and check the tie rods and the dude said he nvr had a car that was so low...and his equipment to align my car wouldnt work bc it was hitting my exhaust...i guess i could raise it sum and adjust the toe to pull it in

 

As soon as you change ride height, your alignment is thrown off. You must get it aligned at the height you intend to drive it.

I usually have to remove my front bumper to give the lasers a clear path across the front of the car. Sucks but I just deal with it.

 

i use skunk2's front camber kits kept my car from wearing the tires out and they seem to pretty good on my 96 LS teg

 

Skunk 2 Pro Kit is what I was told was a great kit when I bought mine. They are good I guess, they were able to camber my car correctly at firestone.

I would def buy a kit though even though some people say not too. My buddy had his teg lowered 1.5 inches in the front and after 15k or something on his tires the inner part was shot, while the outer was fine. **** my tires don't last 12k and I have a camber kit, I drive like an *******.

 

defiantly agree with that, if u put them on yourself you should get them aligned so there not all jacked.

 

Your buddy needed an alignment or had other problems. I have about -2* camber, and had even more when I was lowered over 3" on GC's, and I get at least 30K miles on a set of tires. My last set was on the car for 2.5 years. No camber kits at all.

Camber kits are more trouble than they're worth. See my thread that TunerN00b linked to above and you'll see why.

 

its all the same ****. it does the same thing. get a cheap one

 

Yup.

I got 32k miles and perfectly even wear on a set of Toyo Proxes 4 tires, running -4* of front camber (-1.3* rear).

I also have dented shock towers thanks to the damn "camber kit", and I was using one of the thinnest camber adjusting UCAs out there (SPC).

Camber doesn't kill tires. Driving like an ******* does though (my track tires don't wear very nicely ).

 

Yea, possibly he needed an alignment. I guess how long your tires last really depend on the driver though. I get like 12k tops like I said before. I don't even do burnouts, I guess flying on and off of ramps really takes it toll.

 

Don't get a cheap one or this may happen...

These were some no name brand ones were on my car when I bought it and this happened when I was driving down the road. I'm lucky I wasn't going very fast and was right near my house.

Heres a link to that thread...https://honda-tech.com/forums/acura-integra-6/upper-ball-joint-broke-2571876/

 

All the more reason to just stick to OEM parts.

 

Skunk2 pros im telling you i bought some for my 95 teg the best and i only paid like i think it was 170 they were on sale.

 

So, spending only $170 on unnecessary parts, to fix what isn't an issue, and reduce available suspension travel while doing so (creating an actual issue), is a good thing?

Install a camber kit only if you need to run more negative camber than lowering alone provided. Reasons to need more would be fine tuning on track performance, or to fit very wide and/or low offset wheels.

 

Not to mention, if you're a corner junky and you have too much negative camber, you're car will plow through corners.

 

I'm going to go with no camber for now...I just need to have the toe adjusted I guess??? I'll try to get a pic up soon so everyone can see what is going on with the passenger side...it's wierd bc the driver side is fine but the passenger isn't...

 

i had the same problem with my car. i was running at stock height with stock ls mesh/web wheels. and the inside of the passenger side tire was in bad shape. well i just bought some 17" enkei ev5 wheels and 205/40-17 bridgestone potenza tires and there was too much of a wheel gap so i lowered it with some eibach pro lowering springs and i do not need a camber kit all i needed was an alignment. i will post up pics soon.

 

i'd double check your install. Maybe you forgot a bolt somewhere.

 

I only dropped my teg...so I don't think I miss anything..

 

Do NOT listen to this guy.

If your going to get a camber kit I do not suggest cheaping out.

I just installed a buddy club front and rear camber kit on my RS. Quality is great. I would either choose skunk2 or buddyclub. IMHO.

I actually purchased my camber kits so I could adjust my degrees of negative camber for track day's / etc. With -2 degrees camber in the front and -1.3 in the rear and 0 toe all the way around the car feels amazing

GL!

 

i like this one^

 

Hahaha
