A little FYI regarding front camber kits

I got my front camber kit installed today and I found out by my shop that you don't need to replace the bottom bolts. So in fact all you need is one kit that does one wheel. All that need to be replaced is the top bolt on each wheel becuase you get enough adjustment that your camber can be fixed. I asked my mechanic several times about this, becuase I was left with an extra kit that they didn't install. he reassured me and showed my the final camber numbers that the bottom bolts did not need to be replaced. Common sense to me becuase when fixing camber it is about the final numbers and not about using every peice of the kit. SO, i just thought I would let you all know, maybe save yourself an extra 60-80 bucks. i am not sure how this would work with other cars, but i know for the 01-03 civic this info applies.

My 04 didn't require a front kit, but in the future it MAY require a rear one. Depends on if I get mad at the cost of tires.

They don't require a camber kit huh? Well when my car was hooked up to the alignment machine my front camber was -1.something at each tire. Maybe not every car "needs" one but mine did.

BLINGER?!!! Dude, I wish I was. I can say I am a Broke Biatch. This car of mine has emptied my pockets. Fvck sakes! And i still want to spend more. Oh, speking of which, I bought my last piece until next year. I got myself an AEM Polished Short Ram intake. Dirt cheap too, like $140.00 through one of my works suppliers. Car sounds even better now. Alot more throattier and deeper.

I know what you mean. Mine is a never ending money eater. But, you gotta love the addiction... Wonder how much pot or whatever I could have bought with all that money i put in the car. Just as addictive!
