Default Positive Camber Help

Hello everybody,
I've lowered my 92 civic SI with H&R stage II springs years ago. since then, i've been in an accident. To make a long story short, my front left camber is +0.5 while my right side is -0.7.

I'm new to the idea of adding camber plates - i know there are different types with different ranges of tuning and diffrerent prices. All i want to do is change my left side to -0.7.

Any suggestions on where to start?

okay, one thing i forgot to ask. given the seemingly simply nature of a camber kit, would i regret getting a kit made by a manufacture such as.... OBX?

Before you invest in a kit, you might want to check if the whole sub-frame has shifted slightly.

what would a shifted sub frame ultimately equate to?

In some cases, the very camber numbers you are describing.

Edit: Although after looking at the numbers again, you would probably be seeing more negative camber on the one side if this was indeed the problem. It still couldn't hurt to investigate though.
