Default delSol camber problem

my '93 delSol has a major camber problem. It came with Matrix Coil-overs. I bought a front camber kit but have no idea how to install it right. I've been through a grand in tires. Help!

so your front camber kit isn't installed yet??

what type of camber kit is it?

first off, rear camber is usually much worse than front camber on lowered hondas. I would recommend an ingalls rear kit as well. once they are installed you need to go get an alignment done and then everything should be good.

Also I would suggest investing in some ground control coilovers or skunk2 coilovers instead of the matrix ones for quailty/realiability reasons. a lot of info can be found on these using the search feature

Have you had an Aligment? It is more likey youR toe that is out and you may not even need the camber kit, camber kits are usefull for if oyu are going to change your camber a lot. A little bit (less that -2.0) of camber is not going to wear tires at an extreme rate, however if your toe settings are out of wach just a little, that can have a huge effect on tire wear.

I got the camber kit off of Ebay. no alignment done yet. My shocks are also not setting in right, could that be part of the camber problem? I was also thinking of getting drop springs like Eibach Pros., instead of coilovers, i was told this may help.?

Spenf 50 bucks on a 4 wheel aligment, you may find it is just the toe settings that are out and that can be fixed why spend money when you do not even know what is going on with your suspension. If you shocks are worn out it will not effect cambe, but it will effect your ride.
