Default Camber correction kit.

I've got my Eibach springs in for a while now and I've noticed that the inside thread of my tires is going bald. I asked around and found that I need to get a camber correction kit. Which one would be right for Eibach (Pro Kit) Lowering Springs 1.4 Inch Drop (FR) & 1.2 (RR)? My new tires are coming in a couple days and I'd like to get them in as soon as possible, but I'm not gonna ruin them by doin the same thing as to the old ones. Thanks.

You're right. Any time you lower a honda, you will always get more neg. camber, causing the inner part of the tire to wear more than the outer. That's why a camber kit is always a long term investment even if you lower your ride an 1-1 1/2.

you can have up to -2.5 deg of camber before tire wear becomes an issue
its just that none of you kids get an alignment done after you drop you car
so you THINK its the camber, when it is in fact the TOE that is killing your tires.

If it's cambered in the back, just add washers to the two bolts that hold your upper control arms to the body. I think they're called upper control arms.
