I recommend going SPC 3 bar rear kit (1 per side) and SPC front adjustable ball joints.

Hey, sorry to thread jack!

But random question, will camber kits work on stock suspension?

I went for an alignment at the dealer a couple weeks back 3 wheels are sitting at -2 camber and they said these cannot be adjusted

Yes you can install aftermarket camber kit with stock suspension.

you really dont need front camber kits unless you are going super wide.. even i dont run front ball joints.. just get the rears.

depends on how low you want to go.. fender to tire. tucking tire.. slammed af.. etc.


but generally i would get both installed at the same time as they need to remove the rear arms int he back anyways.. if you do them individually then you will just be paying for extra labor isnt needed.

just simply ask them to put these arms on instead of the others. you are just swapping out arms that they are going to take off..

and again you dont need front ball joints

ive been on bags for nearly 2 years and dont even need front ball joints.. alignments are within specs,

Since the car is my daily id probably do fender to tire, no tuck no slammed. i want as smooth of a ride as possible.

So camber kits are basically adjustable control arms correct? just want to verify this as my previous car didnt have camber kits ever made.

what would the suspension do if i lowered the car on the stock arms?

It would throw off your alignment out of spec.

I'm hoping to avoid the camber kit by going for a mild drop.

just remember.. stock camber arms are meant to be only adjusted within OEM SPECS which means very little adjustment... lowering the car causes natural camber which is out of the range of OEM camber kits.. you will need ones that can correct more camber..

Potmilkz I read somewhere that you maxed out on Teins and you didn't need a camber kit. Did I read that wrong?

Hey guys!

As stated, when you lower a car you naturally gain negative camber, which means the OEM adjustments wont cut it if you're trying to get back in spec! Adjusting camber alone directly effects toe, so if you plan on doing more then a 1/2 a degree or so of tilting or so I'd recommend the toe arms as well.

The setback arm is the least necessary piece out of the three arm kit. The only time a setback arm would really be necessary was if you didn't like the forward position of the wheel in the wheel that occurs when lowering a car. These arms essentially let you move the wheel forward and back.

We have SPC products on our site ready to ship, and if you have any questions or need help getting setup feel free to PM me! Here's what I'd recommend for most:

Front:
Ball Joint: 67135 - SPC Ball Joints - Excelerate's Honda & Acura Store - Japanese Performance Specialist
Rear:
Camber correction arms: 67545 - SPC Control Arm - Excelerate's Honda & Acura Store - Japanese Performance Specialist
Toe correction arms: 67545 - SPC Control Arm - Excelerate's Honda & Acura Store - Japanese Performance Specialist

Happy modding!

Are you suggesting to buy 2 arms (camber and toe) instead of the 3 arm kit?

Every setup is different, but for the most part the set back arm isn't something you'd need unless you:
  1. didn't like the forward position the wheel gains when lowering the car
  2. after adjustments you ended up with something that looked like this:


I hope that clears things up a bit!

The ball joints and arms are priced each so you'll need to order a total of 2 each. 1 per side.

No clearance for adjustable A arms

I have a set of adjustable A mounts that don't clear the factory body, i notice there is not much space in there, does spc provide an adjustable front camber that clears factory body/fender? I dont need front to back adjustment but at a 4" drop i am having issues getting clearance in the fender and body with any adjustable A arms, it looks like acura left a tight clearance that no aftermarket adjustable will clear, please tell me im wrong!!

Has anyone bought/installed the 6 piece rear camber set by J-Power & is it any good? It seems to have fairly good reviews. I’m thinking about going with the J-Power due to the huge price difference & savings. J-Power 6 piece set - $180 vs $400 for the SPC brand 6 piece set. All replies, comments & feedback would be highly appreciate it. Thanks, Rich.

Good reading on all the forum posts,

I recently replaced my coilovers with an SPC rear camber kit along with truhart adjustable front camber kit. After lowering, my front camber was out of spec.

After tightening up everything and driving several miles, i'm still getting an occasional knock in the front end.

After tightening every bolt and nut to spec that I touched, still getting the intermittent knock, anyone else experience this?
