Tire shop tells me I need "rear camber arms"?

My question is simply this: Are rear camber arms the exact same thing as a rear camber kit? Do rear camber arms come in a rear camber kit? Sounds like a dumb question but I just wanna be sure before I order anything. My reputable tire shop that I trust, (i know the owner) told me that they could not align the rear wheels on my 1997 Honda Civic EX coupe because it needed some adjustable rear camber arms.

They said that there was just simply too many possibilities to go through, that could be causing the camber problem on the car. And that my best and cheapest bet, would be to just fix the problem for good, with a set of rear camber arms that are adjustable. So could you guys recommend a good kit, that won't break the bank?

There are 2 kinds of "camber kits". One is camber bolts. They give ya about 1 degree. The 2nd is adjustable upper arms. They give ya about 4-6 degrees. You want the adjustable upper arm kit.

Yes they are the same thing. The rear camber kit as they say is the rear upper camber arm.

Re: Tire shop tells me I need "rear camber arms"?

So is there a kit that yall would recommend? The guy at the tire shop says that his kit is $156 for both sides.

Perhaps there is a cheaper kit, that is just as good? I am a real big honda noob so I don't even know where to look. Im sure yall know of a site that sells good honda gear at reasonable prices. I heard that skunk2 is a good brand, but too expensive...

Go look on corsportusa.com or showstoppersusa.com. They should have some good camber kits on there for you.
