Default camber kit information

I have some valuable info on those that are planning on gettin a front/rear camber kit for there 94-97 accord. I had a no name camber kit and after about 5 months, the rear camber kit started to bend and almost broke, the front however lasted a little longer but the bushings completely wore out and cracked about another month after i replaced the rear. So do not go cheap when it comes to that and by the way you do have to do some customization to the wheel-well to avoid the control arm hitting.

Thanks for your $.02

I think we are all well aware of the control arm hitting the body problem when a car is lowered but still keeps oem camber specs via a camber kit. Its a common topic here. What brand camber kit was it so we will all know to avoid it?

DUnno if I'm right or wrong on this..... But the rear camber on 4-5th gen Accords can be corrected with the "bolt and washer" trick right???

The name brand of the camber kit i do not know exactly, i think it is a generic brand of some-sort but it had a bronze finish to it......plus it did not have very much adjustability......on my car i have my camber kit aligned to -.02% so my wheels are almost completely standing straight up, and i have hacked away for hours and hours for the previous camber kit but now no matter what i did it still hit on a nice sized bump, so what i did was completely cut out the wheel-wel where the control arm and balljoiny connected at and i have no prob. with anything any more...except two big holes under the hood.
