I was wondering, what really is the difference between OEM and after market camber kits? Mine is a 1997 Honda civic coupe which is lowered. I don't know what camber kits should I buy so that the wheel alignment would match the manufactures specs.

Aftermarket camber kits are adjustable, the stock on isnt. The lower the car goes, the more adjustment the rear wheels need because they tend to tip inwards. The lower you go the more adjustment you'll need. If you plan on dropping an inch, then any adjustable kit will do, if you want to slam it and tuck the rubber under the fender you'll need a lot more adjustment. The amount of adjustment is measured in degrees.
i got the megan racing adjustable upper control arms for my 97 ex coupe. it ran me about 100 dollars. They are adjustable for stock, up to 4 inches of lower. My car is pretty low as you can see, my fender eats my tire and megans work great! I was having an issue of serious tire depletion on the inside edge. My $150 each tires were destroyed after 10,000 miles. If you lower, you need a camber kit. Go on ebay and type in this item number :180375392161.
usually the fronts do not need adjustment, but its cheap enough so might as well get it. its just a pair of camber bolts that are adjustable. the rear is the most important.

i got the megans after i used the washer trick. The washer trick does not work! i was riding down the road and my rear passenger side arm came unbolted. It was not pretty. That happened because the washers busted and the bolt was loose therefor rocking back and forth which backed the nut all the way out and it came off. Just get the camber kits. They are worth the money.
