Problem with my Camber Kit

Ok guys... i bought the SPC Anchor Kit on ebay for the 1.75 to 3 degrees. Turns out that it won't work for me. The A arm comes out to far and hits the top of the fender... so now i'm gonna sell the spc anchor kit i bought to some civic or integra... because for sure it'll work on them. The kit is suppose to work with the CL! would the spc ball joint kit work? or be better? any experiences? I have Omni power Coilovers if that matters.

i have the two front ones sitting in my room right now - havent installed them yet. Im about 99.999999% sure that they will fit though - I saw the piece they'll be replacing. It should fit like a glove.

My mechs told me that I wouldn't need the 1.5-3 degree kit - the one w/less of a degree change would be fine. Im not too sure about THAT, but I trust these guys to steer me right... soon as I install, I'll let you know how it turned out.

Btw, im rolling on sportlines and kyb AGX's...

I use the 1.75 to 3 spc balljoint. After a year of experimenting and warranty issues with the Ingalls Anchor camber kit, I found that the adjustable ball joints work better. No creaking at all.

But beware of the SPC part number... I purchased the one specified for my 1997 3.0 and it didn't fit. I ended up troubleshooting with one of the SPC Techs and found that the Accord one fits (the diameter is slightly smaller). If I remember correctly, there was a recall on the front ball joints on 1997 3.0's. I took the car to the dealer. I wonder if they replaced the upper A arms with Accord A arms to remedy the ball joint recall.

I'm not saying that the Accord part will fit your car... But, have your mechanic make sure everything is flush and seated correctly before anyone drives the car.

Do I really have to buy a rear kit?? Cant I just go to a homedepot or something and get a few washers that would fit/work?

This type is better in my opinion/experience:

But you need to figure out what range of correction you need.

With pretty much any lowing springs and camber kit combination. You'll need to grind the inside of the fender (underside) for clearance.

everything goes bad in time... but for the time being... buy something quality, or u've heard reviews of. You pay for what you get.
