Best Camber Kit?
I recently purchased the spec D camber kit for the rear of my 2011 SH-AWD I put it on and my rear end is very loose going over bumps. We've aligned it and made multiple adjustments and its still extremely loose, borderline unsafe. Anyone have a recommendation for a good rear camber kit?

I have an SPC on my 3G and it works nicely.
Is your car lowered? Are you sure it's a faulty camber kit causing the loose feeling and not worn bushings elsewhere?

Car has adjustable coil overs. Car was actually rather stiff with stock components. I swapped out to the camber kit to help with tire wear and now its super loose. Put the stock components back in and its tight again.

Did you get it aligned after installing the camber kit?
The toe will change drastically when you adjust camber.
This car's suspension is going to be massively complex to properly modify. I would suggest not modifying it. You'll be changing the entire toe/camber relationship. The length of those control arms aren't arbitrary. Some engineer figured all that out.
There's a reason the factory arms are not adjustable. If things could be adjusted without messing the whole curve up....Acura would have added an adjuster. Right?
But if you must, then the SPC kit is decent. Make sure you don't tighten the bushing bolts until the car is at ride height. Don't tighten the bolts while the car is lifted up and the wheels are dangling down.

I recommend having a knowledgeable person install these suspension parts, just because the alignment shit can be a bitch to perfect. My dealership technician actually used to install coil kits on Acuras in New Jersey all the time. Not letting anyone else work on my car now, myself included 😂😆
