They look like the ones made by SPC. Just wondering if anyone purchased one of these kits. I just want some feedback on the product. I know it isn't name brand such as ingalls, ksport, etc.

camber = sex.

Only get a camber kit if your planning on tracking the car regularly. thats my opinion.

always get a camber kit lol.
Those look ok now, but no way of telling how well they will hold up after a few months, let alone a year. Camber kits tend to rust pretty quickly!

a ksport camber kit is only $100, it'll probably be worth it in the long run.

ksport rear camber is total crap, it broke after 1k miles while driving. Buy SPC/Eibach, I did 15k miles so far and they're still like new.

And yes you need camber if you're lowered unless you want to change tires every season.

I have the Wicked camber kit that can be used for the SI and RSX and it has been going strong with no rust for 30k.

Thanks for the replies guys!
I think I'm going to give these a try. I don't drive my car like a madman. Aren't the stock camber arms rubber bushings? Do you think I can spray it to prevent rust?

I've been using a Ksport camber kit for about two years already and have had no problems or rust. They aren't that expensive either.

I have the hard race rear camber kit. It's ok, but all the bare metal parts have rusted and its been a little over a half-year. It's just the adjustment locking nuts that rusted.

try spraying a little grease on the whole camber kit after all your settings are done, itll prevent rusting for a while.
