Camber kit?
I'm getting coilovers and was wondering if the camber can be tuned on the TSX in the front and back, or do I need a camber kit?
My old Civic needed a camber kit for the rear, so wonering if the TSX is like that too.
Thanks

you'll need kits.
there is NO camber ajustment on our car, just toe.
and even that is limited.
for the rear I suggest getting Ingalls.
it comes with lower bars that replace the toe and camber bars.
makes the rear camber ajustable and the rear toe more adjustable.
I have no idea what to recommend for the front.
I want to get the spoon a arms I think, but don't know where to
get them.
I need some suspension help in the front myself.
somebody else will have to help us both for front suggestions.

Most of the TSX's stay within spec in the front but you will want to get a rear kit.

Don't mind the picture. It is a set of rear adjustable arms.

^ this is true for most.
but not me.
I'm dropped to where my tires tuck by about a cm or so.
and my alignment guy strongly suggested front adjustment.
I can't quite make it into spec, I'm a little out.
so it's best for me to make things adjustable up there.

The best way to adjust the front camber on a TSX is an adjustable control arm like the one made by Spoon. However, the Spoon control arm only increases negative camber, not decrease. I don't believe any company has made one to adjust both positive and negative camber yet.
I wouldn't even consider using those adjustable ball-joint type camber kit that replaces the oem ball-joint unless you want the top of the ball-joint to punch through the shock tower when the car bottoms out. The top mounting nut further decreases the available clearance in that area with a lowered car.
