    Camber kits

    I'm looking for a camber kit for my cb7 but don't really wanna go with the eBay or amazon brand that everyone I live around runs. Anyone know any good brands or websites I can get camber kits.

    ingalls/spc in the front

    ingalls/wicked tuning for the rear
    COUPE K24

      I wouldn't get any brand other than the ones '93CB7Ex mentioned. Cheap brands can be dangerous. I learned that firsthand when one broke on me. I'm VERY lucky that I didn't crash.

        stempf also makes a quality FUCA -3/+3 camber adjustment ball joint. we use them in the shop alot..well that brand. Stay away from the camber adjustment that moves the whole control arm up front. use the ball joints. turn buckle style in the back, the rears will either be straight, or have a little bend for extreme drops

          I'd suggest the exact opposite, actually. The ball joints in the upper control arms aren't made to be pressed out. It weakens the metal of the control arm. The anchor bolt style is safest.

            I know megan racing makes a rear lower camber adjustment arm. Crazymikey had them on his white coupe before he sold it. don't know if he was happy with it or not. its a choice but I mean ... it is megan racing

            C-3PO's MRT USDM yo!

              Is that implying Megan Racing is something other than a generic knockoff "ebay" company?

                  True. And they are among the better crap brands, along with OBX.

                    yah that's really the only reason I mentioned it. like I said I don't know how mikey felt about them.

                    I know OP said no ebay/amazon crap but neither ebay nor amazon manufacture anything.... maybe kindle. you just gotta know what to look for on ebay/amazon

                      one press cycle isnt enough to really weaken the arm's bore (if done right key requirement), besides the SPC's basically clamp onto the arm after final alignment torquing which is 120ft lbs. honestly after doing it a couple of times i wouldnt really worry about it, Id feel safer with my pressed in/camber clamp balljoints into OEM control arms, then cheaper white box replacement (had a bj pop out, it was barely hanging in there when i finally did inspect it) OEM replacements come in at about 200 bucks..*scoff* poly bushings oem arm spc bj's are the way to go


                      oh and lol..if they wernt made to be pressed out.. a) they wouldnt have snap rings b)theyd be welded in.. jusy sayin

                            I'm using OEM UCA's front and rear, fronts are on their 2nd set of SPC adj. balljoints, rears are on their 2nd set of napa balljoints, haven't had any issues. Arms have 207K+ miles on them. Like illinois_erik said, I would trust OEM honda arms over aftermarket junk stampings. Rear camber kit is fender washers in between the body and arm.

                              its like 1 degree per washer isnt it or something.. and wicked tuning's RUCA looks to have a "rebuildable" bj too..would have to find a part # tho or cross reference..like an isuzu tie rod end or something lmao

                              oh and I too was in the bandwagon for not pressing out the old bj's, till the alignment computer had that as the first suggestion and then seeing how SPC's and stempf's clamp into the arm and oem metal thickness vs repops..i would not press out and replace bjs in whitebox replacements for sure..some brands might slide..also i brought up the arm moving type and the alignment guy frowned upon that and the computer had that as a secondary adjustment, theres even like raybestos turnbuckle style straight and curved for the rears or these shims which the washers diy..if i had a coat for every cat ive skinned man )
