Default Camber Kit

Id go with the Skunk2 camber kit. Usually 150-200 but covers anything from 0-4in drop.

Sorry for jacking your thread but I just found out I might need to get a camber kit The shop said I have to bring my car in for them to determine if I need one or not. I really hope I dont need one. I dont have the extra money right now. If the numbers are around where they are suppose to be should I even worry about it?

By the way my car is lowered 2.5 in the front and 2.25 in the rear.

anytime you lower your car it is always best to be a camber kit. Usually it is the front that you need the kit on but on the back of most honda's and acura's you can use the bolt and washer method to cover that part. And the reason why i mentioned the Skunk2 one is that say in the future you decide to lower it more or possibly raise back up your car. The Skunk2 is adjustable so that you dont have to go by a different one if you chose to do anything with the height from 0-4in

I would recommend buying one reguardless of how much you lowered, It will keep things within spec.
That being said, I have the Ingalls Front and Rear Camber kits an they havent let me down so far almost 3 years now

alright, ill see what happens. if i do a rear camber, i want to do the trick.... how do i go about doing the rear camber trick on 00 civic ex? what bolts/washers do i use and how many? also, if i install omnipower coilovers, new rims then have it aligned, and they say my camber is off, and then i fix it. do i need to get it aligned again?
