Another Camber kit...
Ingalls has kits for the front and the back, check out this website.
Kinda expensive though, $46 for each front, and $148 for each rear!!!!
I'm sure there are cheaper ones out there

Well, if you get the 2 inch, I'm pretty sure it's adjustable up to 2 inches.
that would be good for coil-overs, but since you're going with 1.5 inch drop springs you can probably save yourself some money and go with the 1 inch correction.

The rear camber is adjusted with new upper arms. They basically replace the stock ones with a unit that has a huge turnbuckle on it to adjust up to 3 degrees. I used the Eibach's and they went in without a hassle. Check out the www.tirerack.com page

The front is adjusted by use of a special bolt. You can use one to replace the stock bolt, and get about 1 to 1.5 degrees. Or you can use two (one on the bottom) and get more. The bolts are really cheap, but I went with the Eibach Sportlines and only needed one set for the top to adjust my camber

I had full camber kit for $155.00 shipped. Ingalls front(+/-2degs) and SpecProd rear (+/-4degs). I had a good deal from 2001CivicCamberKit. This is the best deal you can get to upgrade your handling performance, A MUST HAVE KIT. Just ask for Peter, he will happy to help you out. Their products are high quality and most important great service, friendly and fast shipping, I know because I own the kit.

Front camber is adjustable up to a point without any kit or new anything. Try it first, you may not need a kit for the front. I have a 1.25" drop in front and still have room for more. There is no way to adjust the rear without a kit however, and the turnbuckle type mentioned above work great.

On the 2k1 civic you won't need a camber kit for the front unless you have it on the ground even then the way the McPhearson struts and the layout of the car is designed makes it literally impossible for you to camber the wheels.

I heard somewhere (somewhere on this site maybe?) that you can adjust the rear camber up to a certain point, using simple washers bought from a hardware store. Is there any truth in this? And if so, how would you do it?? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

I heard the same thing, but I looked and can't see any possible way that you can do it. My friend has a '97 civic and that's how he corrected his camber.

I think this is a good place to say that there is a group buy for Ingalls Camber Kits at www.GroupBuyCenter.com.
It was set up by Lightning Motorsports in Baton Rouge, LA. (Good store, I go there sometimes when I'm in Baton Rouge)
You can call them @ 1-800-478-0952 and tell them that you're interested in the Ingalls Camber Kit Group Buy.
The prices are:

Civic 2001+ Front_____+/-1 degrees_____$20
Civic 2001+ Front_____+/-2 degrees_____$39
Civic 2001+ Rear_____-2 to +4 degrees_______$118

Call now, supply is limited.
