camber kit

can you still use a camber kit if your tires in the back are a little tucked? or by using camber at that height will it push the tires into the fenders?? thanks

Weaponx12o is on a distinguished road
you can still use a camber kit, but it wont be aligned to spec. you can have the people align as close to spec as possible without having it rub. you will still have negative camber though.

SPC makes some rear lower control arms.. check them out maybe thats what you need

"These extreme lower control arms are for Honda Civics and Acura Integras. They are designed to allow the use of wider wheel and tire combinations and solve tire-rubbing problems. Made from aircraft aluminum alloy, these arms are available in candy red, blue and silver finishes.

When teamed up with front and rear camber arms SPC Performance provides you with a complete alignment solution when lowering your later model Civic, RSX or Integra"

well, as it is, my tires to scrape the fenders every once in a while, not a lot though, so if i put those control arms on, would it kinda pull my tires in so that i could use the camber kit?

if you cut away at the lip on the rear fender about an inch, and have tires that are 205-215 then you can get it back to fac spec

with these rear lower control arms, do you still need a camber kit? also, say you do, does it have to be an SPC camber kit? thanks a lot.
