Front Camber Kit
Which front camber kit is the best to run on a 96 GSR? I have H&R springs (1.75F, 1.5R) and KYB shocks all around, I bought the Sprint Extreme kit and It pushed the control arms so far out that they sat on the chassis. Now I'm looking for one with -1.5, +1.5 just for the front but I need some advice thanks

Re: Front Camber Kit (cracker099)
I put a pro-kit on my GF 98 GSR and when I had it on the lift I saw the there was a lot of iner tire wear. I though the pro-kit only lowered the car .75" and wouldn't cause camber issue's. So it looks like I need a camber kit for the car. Is there a kit out there that won't squeak for around the same price?

Re: Front Camber Kit (mojoGSR92)
i heard bad stuff about that skunk2 camber kit. some other guy had a post on here, dunno which forum, but it messed up some of his bushings. after seeing that post, i remembered that my friend had the same issue. my friend has a 97 integra ls, which would be the same kit that you are looking for so i dunno what to tell you. me personally, i always liked skunk products and find it weird how they would make something that would **** you up. coulda just been mistakes on the install or something, who knows. just giving you the heads up if you wanna look further into it.

Re: Front Camber Kit (burk)
you probably heard of an issue w/ the balljoint on the Skunk2 upper control arms, which has now been resolved in their newly revised adjustable upper control arms.
But you shouldn't need a camber kit w/ H&R Sport springs, I know that for a fact.

Yeah thats what I thought too until I saw the inner wear of my tire, Im just running 17's 205/40's and it got soo bad that the metal was showing out of the tire. Thank god I didn't get a blowout. Whenever you lower your car u need a camber kit. I'll probably run with ignalls tho. Alot of people said that if you have H&R sport springs
you don't need a camber kit but as it turns out you do or just for 17's and up..

Re: Front Camber Kit (Type Rx)
I'm sporting the Skunk2 kit. Haven't had any problems so far. Some people complain about the adjustment screws slipping, but I just cut some notches with the dremel and no problems.

anyways, i got these SRP ones that are ingalls clones and my upper arms seem to be tilted towards the front of the car so that it scrapes against the inner fender. everything is torqued down correctly, and upon removal the kits look perfectly intact. i really dont know if the kit is to blame, but i think if i put that rear arm brace from the stock bushings it might help keep the arm straight.

Re: Front Camber Kit (zilverz)

sorry but you do not need a camber kit whenever you lower your car. Maybe if you have more than 2.5 degrees negative camber or something, but if you don't slam the car you'll be fine. Did you get an alignment after lowering yours? Keep in mind that you must get an alignment EVERY time the ride height is changed, be it with springs, coilovers, whatever. I keep trying to tell people, if you get an alignment and get the toe-in adjusted to exactly zero and rotate the tires often, uneven tire wear should not be a problem, even w/o a camber kit.
