Camber Kits

Does anyone know where I can get a really good camber kit for a 99 3.0?

thats a pretty broad question?

How much you want to spend?
How much negative camber do you have?

The best camber kit I know of for CLs or Accords is this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...gory=1304&rd=1

A friend of mine has it on his 97 Accord and there are absolutely no squeaks. I'm saving up for mine, can't wait to get those friggin squeaks out. God they're a nuisance.

You also won't have the "control arm hitting the inner fender" problem. Since this doesn't extend the control arm only the ball joint.

This is where the road ends, do it once and do it right, you won't go wrong with this kit.

The rear is a little more forgiving...Almost all camber kits for the rear work fine, from the bolt and washer option to the adjustable control arm. Your call.

-Peace

with -1.75 in the front, and knowing that some neg. camber is preferable AND within specs, you can probably go with a kit between 0-1.5 degrees of adjustment instead of 1.5-3.0, since that will adjust it more than needed.

gmb2000 - I just got my camber kit installed and car alignment at this place called "Acura's and Honda's Specialists" down on Tara Blvd by Southlake Mall (jonesboro). Found out about them on siatlanta.com I think.

I paid $140 for a speciality products kit (non-ball joint) for the front (at NexGen Racing, just a couple miles from them), they used washers for the back (no charge), then it was another $210 for the install and alignment.

Overall, fair price - great service, real chill and helpful guys. They quoted me $320 for my 60k service, so I might actually get it done there. The guy that did my alignment took me out for a ride in his civic hatch (fully gutted, type R swap, sub 13 1/4) after working on my car. If you're not too far north, I'd recommend going to them. What part of ATL are you in?

ATLCL98--Im in Gwinnett

Butler Tires in Doraville gave me a price of 352 to install a camber kit for the front and rear. He was going to use a adjustable ball joint on my left front.

I swear every Honda or Acura that is dropped there is always a problem with the left side of the car.

I can live with the rear. negative camber on my rear helps me around turns anyway.

Here is a pic off my ride http://public.fotki.com/GMB2000/my_9...cture_010.html
