Default Right side tires leaning in, rough ride in the winter w/ low pros

I seem to be having problems with my suspension with my 92 civic dx sedan. My right side tires are leaning in even after the wheel alignment. It has been lowered, how much i dont know and how I don know. I know I need a camber kit. I dont know where to get them and what brand I should use. Also, should I get polyurethane, or rubber. Please help out with any info that you may have. I will post pics in forum by tomorrow.

PS How do you post pics in thread (not thumbnails).

Thanks.

host the pic somewhere on the internet... then type in... [ IMG ]put the location of pic in here[ /IMG ] (without the spaces and obviously the location of your pic)

A camber kit will get rid of the lean. I highly recommend the Ingalls kit. I love mine.
Poly is a good idea if you're going to push the car to it's limits, but not if you want a semi-smooth ride on the street.

Im so determined to fix this problem, I just went out in the 25 degree night and took some pictures. These are the best I can do at night.

Pics in order:
1st thumb - right rear tire (behind)
2nd thumb - right rear tire (behind)
3rd thumb - right rear tire (beside back panel)
4th thumb - right rear tire (above wheel well)
5th thumb - left side car height (about 6 inches) from ground
6th thumb - right side of car height (about 7.5 inches) from ground

More on next reply.

Default more pics

7th thumb - diagonal angle
8th thumb - front (about 7.7 inches) from ground

With the front view, you can obviously see that the left side of the car (right side in the pic) is lower than the other side. Feedback is a MUST at this point.

do the washer trick in the back to shim it out and i would recommend either an ingalls front camber kit or a skunk2 kit if you have the money. both are excellent.

looks like you need a camber pretty bad before you waste money on buying new tires
