Well I have searched for ur car in the member's rides section but I couldn't find ur ride so I have no idea whether u have lowered the car.From my experience,the most important is to buy the kit for the rear.We have mac pherson type of suspension at the front so it won't chamber much even if you slam it to the ground.I have H&R lowering springs on my 2k1 civic sedan, I don't have any chamber kit and it's still fine.If your budget allows just but buy the whole kit so u don't have to worry about uneven tyre wear in the long run but I still say that the kit for the rears is still more important [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

What up big Pearl!!!
Hey man, usually, the only way you need a camber kit is if you drop your ride more than 1.5 inches. Sure, even with a 1.5 inch drop the camber will change a bit, but it's not that much and most people won't spend the money if they don't HAVE to. Since you have the money, I'd get the camber kit for the front and the rear, and have "perfect" camber. You can talk to Rob at Tornactive and see what kind of deal he can give you. I bought mine through GroupBuyCenter.com from Lightning Motorsports out of Baton Rouge, LA. I got the whole Ingalls camber kit (front and back) for $115. I think right now they're offering free shipping if you buy the front and back. Good luck.
Peace Out!

If you can't find a good price then just keep me in mind. I can sell you the front and the back for $155 shipped. I was going to install them myself, but I need an impact wrench. Before I can get an impact wrench I need an air compressor. My father was going to buy one, but he decided on a table saw instead. Therefore, I have to wait a while before I'll be able to install my camber kit. I'de rather sell it now and get something else. Like rims!

I have the following:

Ingalls FastCam Camber Bolts (3542PR) - front camber kit (the one with the largest amount of adjustment)
Ingalls Rear Camber Adjuster (3895) - rear camber kit (the one with the polyurethane bushings)

I have already cleaned and assembled the rear camber kit. I already greased up the bushings too! This is very hard to do BTW! You have to disassemble the whole camber kit to do this properly. You have to do this too, to prevent squeeking. If you were to install your camber kit at a shop, they probably wouldn't grease the bushings for you. They'de probably say something like, "Greasing the bushings is not required." or some other nonsense. I've heard this happen once already from a member on this site.

Anyway, let me know... PM me, e-mail me, or just reply to this thread...

How do you grease the bushings? I haven't heard about that. I also have the poly bushings in the rear.

Hey Pearl,

Haven't talked to my Mississippi bro in a while. Hope you are doing well. Holler back when you get a chance, dmullen@jam.rr.com

Check out the SPC camber kits also. I got mine from the Group Buy site, front & rear, for $164 shipped. Very high quality construction. I haven't installed them yet, still waiting on my backordered springs.

Basically you have to take apart the rear camber kit. Doing this before installation is easiest. Then you'll notice that the inside of the polyurethane bushing has these slots in it; sort of making it look like the mould for a gear. Just use some thick grease and fitt up all of those slots. The grease will stay there and will keep on lubricating the bushing for a long long time. I had to use a pipe to separate the camber kit. Kinda hard to explain, but without a pipe of the right diameter you'll damage the little washer like clips that hold the camber kit together.

See, the problem with that is that you'll have to re-spray them after a while. Packing hard grease in the grooves of those bushings keeps them lubricated for a lot longer.

Grey, I just bout the rear camber kit(Ingalls). Is it really that hard to take apart,grease, put back together and then install. I have access to impact wrench if you're saying I can't do this at home. I'll just head over to my buddy's shop and get his assistance, but would rather do it at home since sometimes he's busy. BTW, did you see the pic of my carbon wing in that other thread...was hoping to get your opinion. Also, I'll have to tell you about my custom splitters I made for our bumper.(carbon fiber)

Impact wrench won't do you any good. You need a pipe where the outside diameter fits all the way over the large washer that is shaped like a gear. This washer goes on each end of the part of the rear camber kit that has the polyurethane bushing in it. The inside diameter should come up to the flat inside edge of the washer. Your goal is to push the whole assembly down and through to get the washers off and the piece of metal with two holes in it off. Then you'll have access to the inside of the polyurethane bushing. Grease that up and put the whole thing back together again. This takes time and finess or else you could break one of those washers and render the kit somewhat useless. I also used paper towels as isolators so that the blows of the hammer wouldn't cause the pipe to scratch up the camber kit. Worked like a charm. The pipe I got from Home Depot for free. It was just a piece of scrap that they had laying around.

Yeah, I saw the pic of it. Not on your car though. It looks kinda k3wl. I like that one, but maybe it's a little too high up for me? The size seems perfect. I'de have to see it on your car. I also like this one: Dollsey's Ride

I have neuspeed sport springs and I can tell you that after I got my SPC performance camber kit (front and rear) installed I noticed a huge difference in the way the car handled and looked. I went through my 2 rear tires in about 8 months and just bought new ones when the camber kit was installed.

Grey, I swear that's my car, just ask robbclark1 or vizyun...it looks kinda funny because I am an extreme novice and dummy when it comes to photoshop, in fact that small pic was my first attempt to shrink down my huge pics. as soon as i get it figured out, i have some sweet pics of it for the member rides section...my first worry was that it would look too tall, but i don't think it does
