Default apexi coil-overs and camber

Does anyone know if the Apexi world sport coil-overs come with some kind of a camber kit so you can adjust the camber. For me it means the difference between getting them or going with a fake coil-over shock combo. Thank you for the help.

I've yet to see a coilover kit come with a camber kit. The Apexi's are very nice, spend $200 more and get a camber kit off ebay.

There is no spring or coilover combination that comes with the camber kit. They are always purchased separately. Even if you go with a coilover sleeve setup you still have to purchase a camber kit.

I didn't think they would. I guess it was just wishfull thinking, but I have had a few people tell me they thought it did and I know some of the really high end coil-overs come with a camber kit. Does anybody have the kit for there car and could tell me for sure. Thanks you for the help.

I think what you could do it pick up some pillow ball mounts and adjust your camber that way. If i remember correctly, the WS doesnt come with mounts. So this wouldnt a bad start to get the WS Coilovers and then get some pillow ball mounts...

If anyone knows more about this, correct me.

I am not sure what a pillow ball mount is. Could you help me out and explain it a little for me. Is it just another way of saying camber kit? If not, How does it compare to a camber kit? prices, effectivness, ect. Thank you

I wasn't sure about this a while ago too. The pillow ball mount is the top of the coilover. On mcpherson style suspension, a lot of pillow ball mounts will come with camber plates. Honda's have double wishbone so you cannot use camber plates. If you get coilovers it is just nicer to have the pillow ball mounts because you won't have to put the stock tops onto the coilovers. If I were you, I would spend the extra money, and get coilovers. Buy the camber kit later when you drop it which you can do whenever you want w/ coilovers.
