Default Camber kit

10_2.jpg...90 91 92 93 INTEGRA FRONT REAR ADJUSTABLE CAMBER KIT...I bought this kit which comes with 4 pcs for the front and 2 for the rear. The ones in the rear replace the control arms. I haven't figured out the ones in the front. Any thoughts...???:hsdunno:

Where did you purchase them from? I'm sure the info is on there or you can look up the info on the kit by the brand..........unless it's one of those ebay no name things.

they replace the ball joints ... look like low price stuff though, normally when you buy a quality camber kit, you are buying the front control arms with adjustable ball joints. could use a better pic of the ball joints to give you a better idea

It's not going to fit where the stock ball joints are...I did buy them from ebay...I guess I should have bought the whole deal with the control arms included...:upset:

Looks like an ebay special. I would scrap it and opt for a Skunk2 kit if you really need it. Why do you think you need a camber kit?

Camber kits reduce UCA to shock tower clearance. Even on a moderately lowered car, they will cause problems. They are usually not needed, just get your toe set to 0, and rotate your tires often.

The guy @ C & J Tires said the only way to adjust the camber angle is to get the adjustable kit...Is this true...???The toe was zeroed...It just feels funny when I have to crank the wheel all the way in one direction to make a turn...

It is true but why do you have to adjust camber angle? With negative camber, you should have better steering response.

I was worried about tire wear...I was unaware that I would have better response with a - camber...I guess I'll leave well enough alone...Thanks for input...I would truly be lost w/o this website...:woohoo:
