camber kit suggestions
I just replaced my tires. OEM spec, OEM wheels. I had some camber wear in the inside on my old tires. Car is completely stock suspensions wise. Took it in for an alignment. Camber is off,Tech said he could no adjust it. He suggests I get a rear camber kit.
Now I am been reading up on lowering kits and suspension. I read the heal toe article on the camber kits for our generation https://www.heeltoeauto.com/blogs/fo...l-joints..html So with this in mind I want to avoid aftermarket ball joints since I only need to adjust -2.1 degrees.
SPC is listing 3 pieces for TSX.
Ingall list one piece plus the ball joint
Megan list also 3 Pieces
and the ebay specials list from one to 3 pieces per wheel.
Any suggestions or experiences whether I should buy just one or do the entire 3 pieces? If I buy one, which one will get me the -+ 3 adjustment.

Yep.. some shops will be lazy and take advantage of those who don't have much experience with the details in an alignment. They can do better than this with the toe. Go back and get them to redo it if you can, and try to get it done without paying a cent more.
Minus 2 rear camber won't do much hurt IMO. As justnspace said, zero out the toe if wear is your concern. I suggest not bothering with a camber kit until/unless you lower the car.

positive means toed IN. The car should have a little rear toe in to make the tires wear evenly and for stability on the highway.
I would not 0 out rear toe. Front...sure. But not rear.
Leave about 0.1 degree IN (positive) toe, as per spec.
My concern is the ridiculously uneven rear toe. That car is going to wander to the right.

I told him I would get my own kit but I was still confuse as too why I needed a kit for oem spec. He then said since he could not adjust the rear he was only going to charge me for the fronts ($50)
Since I just spend $600 on tires from Costco I want this tires to last so I started looking into camber kit. But know I feel like this the shop ( Le schwab) try to pull a fast one on me.

anywhere I can find acceptable specs. Might bite the bullet and take it to stealership for a proper alignment.
So far it drives pretty straight.

Ideally, you'd want the fronts to be either very very slightly toed IN...or at 0.
The rears, you'd want evenly toed in to about 0.08 to 0.1 degrees per side.
no problem!
the camber is off a bit...which is likely due to some normal suspension wear. but it won't cause much issue if the toe is within spec.
