I have Tokico Illuminas and H&R Race Springs. I have yet to put them on the car yet because I'm waiting until I buy front and rear camber kits. My car will be lowered 2.5" in the front, 2.3" in the rear....I'm wondering what kind of camber adjustment I will need in order to correct it. I have a 1998 honda civic sedan...I hear the rear camber goes off BAD in EKs? What brands and types of camber kits should I be looking at? I have been looking at Ingalls and Skunk2 but I don't really know the pros and cons of either. Thanks.

 

Search, this topic has been covered many times. The big 3 mentioned are usually Skunk2, Ingalls, and SPC. Personally, I like the SPC.

 

Front Camber Kit: Skunk 2.

Rear Camber Kit: SRR.

 

i heard skunk2's break.... i recommend ingalls for the front and washers for the back

 

i like specialty products camber kits..

 

SPC all the way. Washer trick for the rear.

Great way to go. Stay away from Skunk2 camber kit. Read some previous threads. There is some great information about various kits out there.

 

All Skunk 2 Camber Kits out now should have the new balljoint design. I got mine last summer, and it had the updated balljoint.

And I haven't had any problems yet.

Skunk 2

you've heard wrong my friend. i'm lowered 2.5" all around... you know how much camber i've got?? -0.5 front, -1.2 rear. getting a camber kit is a waste of money, unless you want to run a specific degree of camber.

non zero camber doesn't eat tires, non zero toe does.
don't believe me? search for "camber kit" theres 1000 threads on the same exact topic. i say save your $200 for something that is worth it.

It's going to differ from car to car. I'm lowered 1.8" and I have a -1.2 in the front and I fixed the rear using washers so I don't know what the spec was for the rear.

 

you can go with a camber kit. but most people and for what i know, it's true. just set your toe to 0 degrees and the tire wear will be so very minimal. good luck on your decision.

 

i've heard various things about front camber kits...good and bad about both the ingalls and skunk2. but whatever you do, for the rear camber correction, the washer method would be the cheapest.
