    Whats the cheapest good camber kit?

    Ill keep this short.
    Whats the name of a good cheap camber kit?
    Any on ebay?
    I have coilover sleeves and new shocks ready for this.
    Anything else I need to get it lowered right?


    Ok the reason for me asking about cheap ones is I dont have a lot of money to spend right now. I just restored my motor as in all new seal, gaskets, bearings, belts, polished everything, new sensors, new cooling fan timer unit, new water pump, and etc. Anyway the RodRuns are coming up really soon and I would like to get my car lowered before I go. Just in case you guys need to know I want to lower it about 2 inchs in the front and 3 in the rear, and my wheels are 18s. They r the sporty wheels not the gangster ones. I even put the Honda center caps in them so they look stock sorta.

    I personally wouldn't trust anything suspension-wise to just any ebay no-name seller.

    Progress makes great products. Check them out. I saw a F+R kit on buyitnow last time I was on ebay a month ago. Can't remember how much right now, but it wasn't too outrageously priced. If they are in fact too pricey, I think Megan makes kits for our cars don't they? you could look into them if they do

    life is good.

        I think Mike (deev) has mentioned that his experience with that company was far from satisfactory. I've heard it from others as well, but I have no personal experience with that brand, so I can't speak from my own opinion as knowledge on them.

        You might be able to get away with dropping the front of her down a couple inches, getting an alignment, and making sure your toe is in check..and waiting to see if you're going to need camber correction or not. I've been dropped just a little over 2" front/rear before and never needed a kit. You could then potentially go with an adjustable rear UCA like a Megan unit for the rear if you want to go 3".

        life is good.

          2" in the front, 3" in the rear? typically you want your front end a LITTLE lower in the front, and our front ends sit quite high in stock form.

          if you only go about 2" i wouldn't worry about a camber kit, though. i have -1.6" in the rear and -1.8" in the front. i hate to say it, but i haven't even had an alignment since installing my suspension/wheels/tires and my tires still show very little wear after half a year and many, many miles. THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULDN'T GET AN ALIGNMENT. i just got lucky. your toe in/out is a much bigger enemy than camber.

                      I personally WOULD NOT trust my life on a cheap part that mostly hold the main component of the suspension system. They are cheap , yes. However , are you willing to put your life on the line that's $80 , never had field tests and lack of research and developement. If those breaks , you'll never know what will happen. SPC or Ingalls , otherwise don't buy cheap stuff , NEVER.

                        DO not buy the adjustale kit that takes place of the upper control arm bushings.Yor upper conrtol arms will hit your body if your slamed and it will tear some stuff up.//////////

                          Thanks Ghost .. nice first post, and welcome to CB7T ...
                          Amazing what one can find when they *search* .. lol!

                          After reading that link up there ^ .... I have the Ingalls camber kit .. yes,
                          the ones where they replace the upper control arm bushings .. which of course,
                          have their own nice lil bushings .. and I was told they were just fine ..
                          Nevertheless .. I'll be air-hammering the inside of my wheel-wells, to make these work ..

                          Fun no? nooo

                            Ur always gonna have a problem with the UCA hitting. Thats all part of having a camber kit on a CB. Just take a hammer a bang out the inner wheel well.

                            If u want a less expensive camber kit get the anchor bolt style. As for the rears, just use washers. Costs about 2 bucks.
