Best Camber Kit and Best Price

This most be the most confusion thing I have ever bought for my 2k civic. I have never lowered any of my cars before so I have never shopped for a camber kit before. Who makes the best Camber Kit (front/back), and what am I looking at to pay for them. If you have any other comments to help me out please fill free to post them.

Thanks, Dan

why is it so hard? just buy one... you only have two choices SPC or Ingalls.. they're basically the same thing. one is not going to break down on you. hondawerx.com has both front/rear for $138 shipped. but then you dont need the front at all so.. groupbuycenter.com has the rear for like $125 shipped.
but ya i dont even know why you make it so hard, just get one...

why wouldn't you need the front? I'm going for a 3 (obo) inch drop. I measured the top of the well to the top of the tire and it was 3 inches exactly. The front won't be drop 3 inch drop do to no clearance in the front finder for that large of a drop, but still it is going to be over 2 inches.

are you sure you measured right? from what i remember the gap was only like 2.25/2.5" the most with stock LX wheels. anyways you dont need the front cause we have mcpherson struts and the camber is hardly effected... just get any rear and you'll be fine...
i dont think progress came out with one for our cars yet.. and eibach uses SPC i think

Yep! I have a dx which always looked like it sat higher than other higher trim civics. It came stock with 14 inch steelies and 70 profile tires. I replaced those with 17inch rims and 40 porfile tires which is very close to the same size.

theres a good discussion somewhere in these forums about which camber kit is better, and suprisingly it seemed as if most people thought that SPC camber kits were better than ingalls??????? I'm no expert but there was one in-a-million accident with an Ingalls camber kit breaking or something?? I don't know if thats the only reason or what? I bought an SPC from groupbuycenter for $125, the Ingalls are on back order for something like 3-4 weeks. I personallly don't think its that serious, just get one and either one of them should work good for you.......

There are a couple more choices. There's Eibach, but I think they're basically the same as SPC. Then there's Hotchkis, but they're not out yet. Check out this website for more info on the Hotchkis ones: Hotchkis Tuning Oh yeah, they're for the RSX, but those work with our cars as well.

I like my SPC.

And come to think of it, I forgot to screw in the damn ABS bracket when I messed with it the last time. Woops.
