just wondering if any of you guys are running rear camber kits? if so what brand?

TIA

 

i'm running the rear camber trick with the washers and longer bolts, gets the job done for about 10 bucks.

 

i have washers and longer bolts...
but the cusco ones are nice.

 

Do you really need them. I have skunk2s all the way down and the rear is fine. No tire wear or nothing. The front is a different story thought.

 

yeah but how do you know how many washers??

 

I had mine put on at the shop while doing an alignment/camber adjustment.

Here are some pictures of those lovely alignment shims.





If you are putting alignment shims in the rear then you will need an alignment and a toe adjustment. Just ask around as far as local shops go when you are ready to do that, I would imagine most shops would put those in for you.

 

I don't like the guess work involved with the washers and longer bolt trick, i guessed and i was off and had to bring it back so i went ahead and bout a rear camber kit. I'm running ingalls right now, it is okay i guess I've had it lock up on me and it took a wrench with a peice of pipe and some wd40 to get it loose. I think this is due to how the threads are exposed on the ingalls kit, i would go with the Specialty products rear kit.

 

that's what i was tol too. any idea where to purchase a specialty products kit? or at least a pic?

 

that is a great way. Install them while its on the alignment rack if they allow it. Its a quick job. many people run washers/shims in the rear.

I really like my Specialty Products ones. Super beefy, rubber bushings so no squeaking, and reasonably priced. Only trouble is the Hex size is huge, so you may need to buy some new wrenches.

 

I've got a streamline motorsports one in my room that I have yet to put on. Looks just like an ingalls kit

 

the dude on the right looks like Shane Mcmahon

 

you gotta ask yourself why do you want a camber kit? if its too promote better tire wear, ok, but you'd probably find better tire wear from getting your front and rear toe aligned to zero. toe is what really eats the hell out of tires.

i notice you got a lot of spoon/road racing parts on your car so that extra negative camber may not be a bad thing if you participate in events and the like.

but as said before, for tire wear, yea go ahead and get the camber kit, but make sure your toe setting is zero also. both of these will ultimately help in reducing tire wear. lotta people think its just camber alone but thats wrong.

im gonna take a look at the SRR toe and camber units myself.

 

yeah but who sells them??????

Get Specialty Products (http://www.specprod.com/)


It's better than the Ingalls (www.ingallseng.com) 389x kit I have. I've gone through 3 sets total between the Civics I have. I learned my lesson and will get the Specialty Products instead.

The reason SpecProd is better is that the threads aren't exposed compared to the Ingalls pictured below. The Ingalls threads have a tendency to rust, which prevents any adjusting of the rear kit. That just makes it useless.

 

Wrong toe in conjunction with extreme camber is what really eats up tires.

 

how much does a specialty run for? around how much?

 

Both sets go for about the same price...$100-$150 for both rears (one per side) depending on where you get them. Try nopi.com

 

I'm running SRR Toe and camber turnbuckles. I got them for $200 from ghettoracer, but I found out they're available from SRR North America for like $110 together. http://www.srr-racing.com/ Check it out y0!

 

i got a set of rear camber arms. ill sell them to you for 40.00 shipped obf
came of a 98 ex civic. they just need some heat to break the nuts loose. have not been use for some time now. bushings are mint!

 

does anyone know the part # for the bolts you get at Homedepot to do the cheap camber kit and the part # for the washers. i need to do the rear camber bad. i have a 95 civic coupe.

 

about one washer per inch dropped on each bolt.

 

im just wondering if there's a limit to adding washers because i bought and ingalls rear camber kit and i added all the washers and it didnt fix the camber all the way. please let me know. thanx
