Alright guys so here is the deal. My wife's got a 99 Civic that we purchased about a year ago. It was lowered with no camber kit and from what I can tell the springs were heated. Needless to say she is now in need of tires. Before I shell out for that though I want to fix the issue by installing front/rear camber kit. I can't stand honda forums, just a different vibe on them. Lots of bashing and biased opinions which is why i'm asking here.
This car is used to drive back and forth to work and the occasional road trip. That being said I don't see the need to spend $400 on a high end setup that is designed for track use. On the flip side I don't feel comfortable purchasing a no name kit on ebay that will potentially fail down the line. I found a brand "VMS Racing" on amazon and also ebay but can't find too many reviews on their camber kits. On Amazon they have the front/rear kit for $129.99. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I was also looking at the OBX kits. They "look" solid and i've read mixed reviews from the honda forums. Full kit can be had for about $140. After these two brands the price shoots up to $200 and over. I'd like to be at $150 or so but if need be i'll by the front and rear seperate and get the better stuff. Let me know what you guys think. --------------------  |

if you need a good quality one, just got for Ingalls. I have a set on my EP3 right now and after 8 years the bushings are just starting to wear out in the rear. I'm gonna replace em with some skunk2s just cuz I got a brand new set for $50 off a guy i know who used to work there.

I may have to reconsider them now. -------------------- |
