Camber Kits for 03

I was wondering what was offered as far as camber kits were concerned for the 03 civics. i was informed that they were NOT the same as the 01-02 as the front camber bolts were larger on the 03's. Ive checked ebay and a few other places and found only one brand, SPC performance. has anyone had any experiences with any other brand? are there any other brands? thanks

for front. you will need 16mm bolt, not 14mm. rear camber kits are same. you could get them from DansCreations for 129shipped.

i just ordered some front SPC camber bolts for 24.95 free shipping from Circa-X. Thanks man

Oh and i thought id clarify something. In another post i noticed how one member said its better to get a camber for the rear instead of front if you wanted to save money. Well im still on my same rear tires, but ive had to change my front tires allready beacuse of the slight off camber. I dont think i need to fix my camber in the rear but definently need to fix the camber in the front.

It's natural for your front tires to wear faster with or without neg camber. You have a front wheel drive car so most of the weight and stress is on your front tires. Your front tires have the job of braking, steering and accelerating that's why you rotate them every couple thousand miles. Also check the inside of your rear tires to make sure they are not bald. If you have negative camber then it will wear faster on the inside of the tire.

As for the Camberkit, I got mine for dancreations for 129 shipped For the full kit (2003 EX coupe) that's the best price i've found.

For the rear there's also the hotchkis for the RSX. Those are awesome.

You'll wear out tires MUCH quicker by having to much +- toe Vs to much camber. but any way, I WANT CAMBER PLATES!!!!!!!!!!
Its not like they are that hard to make........ and its just so much easier to change camber settings with them too.

Hotchkis makes some for the RSX. I don't like them 'cause then I couldn't have the Spoon Sports strut bar. Then again... Maybe I could with longer strut bolts? ??? It would need custom modification nonetheless though. That's why I'll keep my eyes out for a coilover with camber plates. Tein Flex looks nice...

Maybe. If you extend those bolts and you have enough clearance under the hood.
