Default 97 accord camber

hey, was just wondering if any one has had issues with the cheapo' camber kits from ebay. i searched and didnt find anything about them here. had bought a set bout a year ago and when i installed them on my 97 accord, but they hit the body when i let it down. not to mension one of the bolts broke but i take credit for that . i have seen the adjustable ball joints but wana get something cheaper for now to save my new tires untill my money gets streight and then invest in something more proper.

I'm running a set of Ingalls Achor Bolts camber kit in the front and Ingalls camber kit in the rear on my '94 Accord Sedan. What I had to do with the front is to pound the inner fender out to clear the upper control arm as the anchor bolts pushed them out even more.

FYI, never run cheap no name brand camber kit on your Accord. They'll squeak and has poor bushings. Do it right the first time and you won't have to do it over again.

eBay camber kits SUCK! I have driven a 5th gen with a front ebay camber kit and the entire car rocked when you pressed the gas. I used to have ebay rear camber kits and the bushings were destroyed within 6 months. Never go near them.

Take the advice from Balwin. First hand experience homie.

I thought about buying an Ebay set of anchor bolt camber kit back in the day('05) til I started doing research about camber kit and read all the reviews ppl has said about Ebay no name brands, etc. Thank god, I didn't buy them and waited ever since til this year and got myself the Ingalls.

Dont get the adjustable ball joint. It makes the car bottom out on a tiny pebble. Get the ingalls anchor bolt kit.

I was also wondering about the anchor bolts and the adjustable ball joints from Ingalls and SPC. I have Moog upper control arms on the front and rear and would like to keep them since the quality of the ball joints are second to OEM. Recently, I lowered my car with Type 1's about 2 inches and took it in for a alignment. Before the alignment I went ahead and did the rear camber trick because I saw the negative camber in the rear. Results -1.2 LF and -2.0 FR. It looks like the anchor kits are the way to go so I will be purchasing them soon.
