Schmiddy how about cleaning out your PM que?
I tried to call you but I don't have your new info for the roadrunner state....

Been doing some research guys, looks like us 6th gen folk may need to look into some Ingalls rear kits perhaps. They replace the 2 - lower control arms instead of the one upper arm.

A buddy of mine running a TSX uses them (near the same setup as the 6th gen Accord same 5 link design), he went with the Ingalls for the tow and camber adjustments. We may need to switch simply for the poor design of the SPC-Eibach upper ball joint.

This aftermarket sh** is getting old. First my B&M short shifter, then my AEM bypass valve, now my Eibach camber kits. At this rate I may never modify our TSX ever, simply by virtue of the aftermarket. They all seam to be the most shlock outfits of parts ever. Own anything more then 3-4years and you'll need to replace it all. Suddenly paying full price for the A-spec and Honda FPP gear seams like a deal.

I even looked into seeing if swapping the TSX upper rear arm in place of ours might fix the camber. The Accord has 279mm arm and the TSX has a 299mm arm, the TSX would be too long I think, 283-285mm might have been perfect, but I'm not sure. The RL has an upper arm too, but it's way too short. The CL and TL use the same arm as the Accord too, so no luck with that arm either for fixing camber. Would have been nice to swap on some OE parts to fix the camber, I'm loosing faith in the aftermarket....

Schmiddy, thanks for the post about the rear camber kit, totally ruined the good car vibe I had going this weekend, we just got the windows tinted on the TSX and now I don't even care thanks to this camber kit issue...

On an up note the SPC-Eibach camber fix method pushes the top of the rear tire out to fix camber, this gives me some tire rub on roads like the Dragons tail with the insane off camber switchbacks that fully compress my rear suspension, but the tuck in at the bottom method of the Ingalls kit may resolve this issue so we shall see.

Syclone how are your front upper Ingalls camber plates doing?
