Default Camber Kit?

I have a 94 Integra wtih 17" rims, and am having some serious inside tire wear. Sadly for me I'm doing some other mods and can't afford a camber kit at this time. Does anyone know any temporary fixes to the tire wear just until I can buy a camber kit?

Also, what camber kits are good?

if you have gotten an alignment after you did the suspension changes, all you can really do is keep up on rotating the tires.

ingalls make good kits. but the skunk2 kit is more appealing.

There really is no way around it... you need a camber kit. I had the ingalls and didn't like it. Now I have the sKunk2 and I love it.

i like my ingalls camber kit. i have the rubber bushing, +1.25 to +3 degree kit. it doesnt squeak. thats the only reason i think people dont like their ingalls sometimes, cuz it CAN get squeaky.

the skunk2 is more appealing tho, its all red and pretty. when u lift the car, its all BLING BLING under your suspension...FORM AND FUNCTION. hahaha enough weirdness....

I did the alignment and the install of the camber, and it solved my weaqr problem, But I just noticed that after about 6 months, the inside is wearing out again. Do i need to redo the camber, and is that a common thing to do or once its done that it? I dont see why it should have changed is I never messed with it?

You can raise your car back up. Make sure you don't rotate your tires to the other side of the car if you have unidirectional treads. Of course you could always take the tires off and remount them on the opposite wheels.

Meguel24, what camber kit do you have? If you're using "crash bolts" they can sometimes slip out of place and bring back negative camber. Otherwise you probably have some negative camber left after adjusting the camber kits. It's always a good idea to rotate your tires at every oil change, and if there's a little bit of negative camber combined with a lot of straight-line driving you really should do it.

Also, the skunk2 kit is more desirable than the Ingalls mainly because it completely replaces the upper control arm while the Ingalls kit is adjustable mounting brackets that go between the A-arm and the body.

i'm looking at a camber kit myself. i was thinking about the skunk2 kit since everyone says it's good. but it looks like the kit uses the same thing as the ingalls with the 4 degree adjustable ball joint which the a arm connects to. now i know the ingalls kit is known to slip. wouldn't the skunk2 slip also? especially since i have pretty stiff suspension?

now i'm debating giving this skunk2 camber kit a go, or using a progress kit..

wh would you guys saY?
