Cool Questions on Camber Kits...

Iv narrowed it down to either the FRONT SPC BALLJOINT CAMBER KIT HONDA ACCORD 90-97 or the Ingalls Front/Rear Camber Kit for 1990-97 Honda Accord. Both are being sold by authorized dealers on Ebay, And basically the same price. Just wondering if anyone has recommendations on either of these. Seems there both solid products and iv heard good things about ingalls in all forms of auto parts. And SPC has a good name in hot rod mods. Just wondering if anyone has some insight on actuall use of either of these, I know its defantly something I need to correct being my car is droped on Tein SS coilover dampers and the inside tred ware im getting on my tires is getting expensive (LOL) So this is defantly a mod im looking to make, I just want to make a solid non regretfull decision. Just wondeing if anyone has some horror stories on either.

does it effect the ride at all? And what year/model car you got? and what kit did you use. It looks like I gotta get the 98-02 Accord Kits.

i wouldnt recommend getting a ball joint kit, esp if youre going to be slammed. The joint is just going to end up slamming against your upper fender. Heck I wouldnt even recommend a camber kit at all, just slam that shit to the earth

But it kills the inside of my tires, if you could see my tire it looks damn near new, untill you see the inside tire tred, looks like a $10 used tire. I gotta fix it even if I got to raise it up, $148 a tire isnt cheep to be replacing atleast once a year.

Were you add a washer to a bolt, not to sure about which bolt, but I plan on doing that since the rear camber isnt off to much, 2 washers should work fine for me, best thing to do is a search on that. Theres a DIY on the forum somewere.

Mine were $270 each, what have you been buying

Maybe it's time I did some more cross border shopping with the 94 cent Canadian dollar

I went with the spc kit after looking at both kits in person. The reason why I choose spc was because the nut that is on top to adjust the camber is flatter. so it will give you about 1/8th inch more clearance from the fender. Its not a lot but I like the design better. haven't had a problem with them. The only thing I dont like is I dont have a wrench big enough for the nut so I have to use a crescent wrench to tighten it down and sometimes it slips off causing the nut to round off a little so you have to watch out for that.

I have the ingalls ball joint ones. The right one squeeks a little, but nothing the volume knob wont fix.
