Icon5 Rear Camber Kit, Which one is better?

Hello everyone, im looking foward to buy a rear camber kit (a cheap one, unfortunately) and i've found two types:
-The ones with polyurethane bushings:


According to the seller:
  • -manufactured from forged AL7075.
  • -use Solid Polyurethane Bushings bushings.
  • -rear camber kits are rust resist Powder Coated.
  • -replace the factory steal upper arms, these are adjustable up to +/- 3 degrees.
  • -allow you to adjust positive and or negative camber in your daily driver or your weekend warrior.
  • -By having correct camber will improve tire wear, handling, and safety while at the same time have a lighter and improved cleaner look.
  • -There are no installation guides included, we highly recommend professional installation.
theres no image of dimmentions.

-with Standart bushings:


According to the seller:
  • Corrects camber +4.00 / - 4.00 degrees and brings quicker response
  • Improves rear suspension, handling, predictable response and even prevents premature tire wearing.
  • Made of high quality lightweight CNC machined steel alloy material
  • OE type powder-coated bushing finish for the highest durability
  • Design for street, track or drift racing precise adjustments with long service life
It also includes dimmentions


So my question is:
Is there any difference in durability? Confort?
I have a 1997 Honda Civic EX Coupe, its just my daily driver, i don't do track days. lowered sprigns in the back. I have a camber of -3 degrees aprox.
These products are about the same price. Have anyone had any issues with either of them?

I haven't had any personal experience with these exact kits, but I've had experience with Omni Power's and BlackWorks' camber kits. They both have lasted for a long time and they serve their purpose. The polyurethane will be a bit stiffer but will also be more durable. In that sense you may feel a slight difference in how they feel, and when I say slight I mean very, very little.

When it comes to comfort I can't really tell that these make a difference because I have fully adjustable coilovers.

I think that if you're just daily driving your car, either set will be just fine.

How does your car ride now?

Thanks for your reply!
Well it feels stiff on the back because of the new springs but i got used to it. I'm actually more concern about the durability of these kits since i have to import them because they don't make these in Argentina, and they will cost me around 100 USD

how bad is the camber, some people just use washers and longer bolts where it bolts to the car to get rid of some the negative camber

thanks for your reply! I currently have 3 degrees negative camber. The tires have uneven tire-wear and are pretty old, so since im buying New ones i want to fix the camber.
i've heard of that method, but im not sure of its reliability. Some People told me that the bolts break overtime. Have you tried it?

I've used the cheapest ebay rear camber kit possible. They work great. No issues, although I think I installed them upside down, the factory one is a U shape, and the new ones are flat, so its a little disorienting
