Fixing the camber: alignment or camber kit(pillowball mount)??
Hey guys. I was thinking about getting some coilovers for my 01 Civic Coupe.
Im trying to conserve cash(go figure) and I was wondering if anyone has thought of adjusting the alignment on their cars to turn the wheels inward(since the alignment can be changed from the top of the wheels) to accomodate for the changed camber?
Let me know any thoughts.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I think you need to realize a few things
1) If you lower the car, the front won't camber that much. If you want more camber then get front camber bolts. If not, then just align the toe.
2) The more you camber the car, the worse the toe in gets.
3) You need to do some reading on camber, caster, and toe because I don't think that you know what they are and I have no idea what you are asking. Read the autox faq in my sig for more information.

This is going to get out of hand quick.
no don’t turn your wheel "inwards" take it to a shop to do the alignment...
