Default camber help

i have a couple of questions regarding camber kits.

first, how hard are they to install?
seccond, would they carry them at an alignment shop?
and third, does neone kno where i could front and rear cambers for a 99 civic as cheap as possible.

i though i would lower my car 2.0 but ive had it a 2.5 for a while, and i already see tire ware after 1month, so imma get some cambers, and need some advice. thx

Did you get an alignment after you lowered your car? Camber wear will not show in a month, more than likely your Toe settings are out and that will wear tires very quickly.


David who sounds like a broken record here sometimes..

does the camber kit correct ur toe settings and is it easy to install. If so am i better off waiting to put on my Tein s-tech springs (1.9in drop in -F- & 1.7in drop in -R-) and Koni Yellow Sports untill i get a camber kit. Do i need camber adjust for both front and rear. Its a 2000 civic hatchback? Xplicid01 i just bought springs and shocks from www.optauto.com they have very good prices on things or u could talk to WestCoastStyle a lot of people buy from him. For Cambers imma get it from him prob. GL MAN SRRY FOR THE THREAD JACK!!!

Get an alignment & check out the results & ask the tech that does it if you need one or not.. You might not. But they will be able to tell you for sure.

You shoud not need a camber kit, toe is adjustable from the factory so there is not kit for it, I run -2.5 camber in the front and -2.0 camber in the rear and I have gotten 35000 miles out of my last set of tires, when I took them of the inside was bald and the outside of the tires was at the wear bars which I Consider pretty even wear.
