Help On Camber Kits
Awhile back when i first got the car i had a wheel alignment done on it. I lost the paper telling me everything but my toe in was horrible. I already knew that just buy looking at my tires and the way they say. Well i need tires now..pretty bad so i wan't to buy the camber kit for it. Never really bought anything suspension related so i need some help on it.
If anybody has them already on their car let me know what brand they are and if you recommend it. I was looking at the skunk2 pro series.

Those are for the front, i see the -/+ 5 degrees. I could be wrong but depending on how bad my toe in was those still might not make them sit right? or am i wrong?

And those are the rear ones im getting.
Help me out if you have dealt with camber kits before! thanks!
It's for a 99 SI

What size tires /wheels? +/- 5 deg adjustability range is a huge range. It should be sufficient for u. I have the omni version but it is really the same as s2. I like it a lot. After getting it dialed up 3 years ago, the wear on tires are still normal.

I put some adjustable ball joints from Ingalls and they worked great. I got the front set off ebay for like $80brand new. The adjustment was plenty, I put them on a prelude that was pretty much slammed. Tires wear normal.

Re: Help On Camber Kits
Skunk2 is good stuff, but are usually more expensive then all the rest.
You can go on ebay and get their off brand camber kits, and they will work just as well as any other company, put them on my buddies ek and they worked great and he only spent 120 for front and rear.
Look around most of the time you can find any name brand camber kit on sale, and save your self some money.
Oh and about your toe, up front your tie rods will control your toe, and in the rear your spherical bearing that is attached to your rear swing arm will control the toe. So a camber kit will probably not fix this issue, but those can be adjusted on all stock cars.
