Default So my front camber is WAY off... Got $140 to spend

I did search but didn't really find what I was looking for... I am using some cheapo coilovers with a big drop but the camber is killing my tires, does anyone have some recommendations on just the front ? For some reason the back is perfect and it's dropped the same. Need to fix this ASAP

If you only got 140 i would just buy a ebay camber kit. you can get one for like $40-50. Then go get an alighnment. They also have some better ones for like $90 shipped if you dont want to cheap of a camber kit.

how many degrees of camber will it fix? I'm off by ATLEAST 4-5, so a 3 degree might work

how much does a good adjustible one go for? I don't want to go cheap, I thought $140 might cut it for just the front

3 degrees would help alot. this set is adjustable up to 3 degress, looks pretty good. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...80225

it might help a little bit, but I wonder how bad it will still wear... it's wearing pretty hard and right on the edge of the tire (scares me to drive it)

Anyone have some feedback with these or what other brands to look at? I need one with instructions, never installed these before

195/50or55/15... just got the car, it's dropped about 2 1/2 inches

another little question, when I am looking for a camber kit - do I want the + or do I want the -? It's confusing me a little bit

I found this website

http://www.mmrusa.com/ingalls/ingallshonda.htm

edit:195/50/15

well what you have is negative camber, so you want to adjust it for more positive camber. negative is when the top of the tire is pointed in to the motor.

i need a camber kit to, but i wanted the spc balljoints, anyone know where to get those from?? i like those and have heard nothing but good things about them, thanks

4-5 degrees? thats impossible. My car is dropped 3.5 inches and i have an ingalls balljoint camber kit. It adjusts up to 3 degrees, but i only needed to slide it out half way to get fully straight camber. If i woulda went all the way with 3 degrees, i'd have positive camber. So theres no way you're off more than like, 2 to 2.5 degrees. Either way, SPC Adjustable Balljoints are the way to go. Save up about 20 or 30 more dollars and go to http://www.iapdirect.com
