Camber Kits
Does anyone have recommendations for front/rear camber kits? I'm lookin' at a number of different kits and I don't have a clue which has a good reputation. I'm gonna put'em on my '89 CRX Si, if that helps any. Thanks guys!

a slightly lowered crx,civic(1-2 inches) does not need a camber kit, you should be able to get an alignment and get very close to perfect and tires won't wear. Ingalls and spc are decent kits for the front. For the rear just get washers and longer bolts...that's what they would send you if you buy them.

@Zack77:Hmm, two companies come into mind for the EF/ED Chassis. I would definitely go with some SPC or Ingalls Camber kits. For the front, Just get the Adjustable Balljoint ones. (I haven't seen any Skunk2 Upper Arm Style Camber kits out for the EF/ED Chassis yet. -Jon) The Adjustable Balljoints either come in two types...one for adjusting up to 1.5 degrees...or for lowered applications from 1.5-3.0 degrees. For the rear, Just use the washer trick (Washers and longer bolts, If you look at your Rear Control arm you'll see why) or spend the $100 and get the Rear Adjuster Arm. IMO, the adjuster arm is much more precise and less of a hassle to adjust.
Oh, yeah I have my car lowered 1.7" F / 1.5" R. I am cambered on both front wheels at 2.50 degrees. The alignment shop said it could not be adjusted unless the camber kits were installed. Since your car is an 89, You might need to get the 1990-1991 CRX/Civic Upper Control arms to place them in. (These can be found at your local junkyard). Hopefully this helps.
