Default Camber Kit 00 civic si

Well, dumped my car a bit back,

here is my stats - actual, specified, range
front left -1.4, -1.0, 1.0
front right -.1, -1.0, 1.0
rear left -2.5, -2.0, .0
rar right -2.4, -2.0, 0.0

What kind of camber kit would you recomend, i've heard from some its a easy install others say to get installed. I have had a total job quoted at 100 labor plus alignment($40). Just want to hear some feedback. Thanks.

I have a 99 Si and installed Neuspeed coilovers. Lowered to the point where you can barely get 2 fingers between the tire top and fender. I used Skunk2 campber kits up front and Ingall's in the rear. I now have a -1.0 camber at all four wheels, what Neuspeed recommended to me. In my opinion, it rides and corners outstanding. And no noticeable tire wear.
Both camber kits are easy to install yourself if you have a Helms manual, some familiarity, and some confidence. But take it to an alignment shop ASAP.
My Goodyear dealer set it up for $69.99, 1 year/ 12,000 miles.
Hope this helps,
Ken

The alignment shop will be able to correct your camber with the kits. However If you are wwwaaaaaaayyyyyy low, like I WAS, there will be tire rub. The way I described my setup previously, there is no rub now at all.
I have heard very good things about Progress suspension. Only reason I did not go with them was that Neuspeed had a sale on their coilovers.

the best type for the front in my opinion are the type that replace the upper a-arm, with a sliding/locking ball joint plate. they should be tubular in construction, with delrin bushings and grease fittings and offer 4 degrees of adjustment. i believe eibach sells them but they are made by a company that has an indian on the box...sad, i know, but its been a while since i've dealt with them...as for progress, ive had their full coilover setup on my car since it came out in late 97, i can only guess that their camber products are of the same high quality...
