alignment kit needed before more loss of tire results
Hey I don't have my car lowered yet I somehow have a negative camber(pretty bad too) Tires get worn to fast. I recently got some extra money and was wondering whether or not anyone has ever heard of SPC performance. They have a complete alignment kit sold for the 95 accord ex. Heres the link> From Nopi online website spc performance alignment kit Let me know what you think of it also if anyone actually has one tell me how it is. What are some decently priced alignment kits out there that you guys have on your cars?? thanks

Camber can't be adjusted on stock hondas, so no alignment shop can adjust that portion. They'll adjust everything else and tell you you need a camber kit. Hondas are typical for flexing and ending up with a small amount of negative camber over a few years.
For the guy with the bad rear camber thats alittle out. You can go with the bolt and washer idea. If its out from stock than you shouldn't need more than 1 or 2 washers. You can get everything for around 10 to 20 bucks at your local hardware store. Just search on here for instructions on how to do it.
For the guy with the bad front camber. I'd recommend the balljoint type kits over the control arm spacers. With the control arm spacers, you'll later run into problems with the control arm hitting the fender well.

if your wearing tires out fast take it to a alignment shop, depending on how the tires are wearing, are they wearing evenly across or just on the inside? if they are wearing evenly across then yes it can be aligned before you a camber kit have a tire shop throw it on the rack it is free to do that
