ebay camber kits

[kique303]

So I wanna get a cambert kit for my car I checked some out on ebay they where pretty cheap but i dont know if they will last or perform well any advice.

I personally would save up a few more bucks and get something better. What do you have for suspension?

[kique303]

Like what brand

I have some tokico's blues and some lowering springs I dont know the brand

[DariuszZ]

if that breaks your car goes to hell. Read through some posts in the suspension section. There is a lot to read about good quality camber kits etc.

Its not so much as it being Ebay than what brand you get (Ebay does actually sells brand name shit too). Ingalls or SPC u should be good. And its camber not cambert.

You can get the Ingalls camber adjustable ball joints for $140 and $150 on ebay depending on the amount of camber correction you will be needing. Lower you are the more you will need, but the $150 set. Both come with 2 new upper ball joints for your CB

is it just the front camber then I'll check it out cuz they where selling me front and back camber for 270

Camber is an angle. Nobody sells you camber.


A cheap camber kit will break... trust me. Mine did. There was about 2mm of metal hanging on. Had that broken, I'd have hit a wall at 65mph in rush hour traffic.
If you can't modify your suspension properly, modify something else. If your suspension fails, you crash...or you hit someone.

As for the springs and shocks... Tokico Blues are only made for springs with a spring rate no higher than 15% over stock, and no lower than 1" lower than stock. If your springs are a no-name brand, chances are the spring rate is sky high, and you're sitting at least 2" lower. I would invest in some proper springs and shocks... as those Tokicos are probably done for already. Even if they're not, they won't respond properly to those springs, causing your car to be unpredictable in an emergency situation.

Yeah thats just a front kit, a good alignment shop will fab up a rear kit using washers and longer bolts and charge you 5x whats it worth but your still looking at maybe $15 for the rear "kit". So long as your toe is not impacted all you really need to buy for is the front but as everyone says....buy name brand, not no name ebay. I had a set years ago and the bolts would come loose and the kit would basically allow my upper a arm to slide from side to side...FAIL

good thing i read this thread. i was gonna buy an el cheapo camber kit. i now shall save and do more homework.

[deevergote]

The rear can be done with automotive-grade bolts and washers... about $5 and a little effort. I wouldn't pay a shop to install that! Somewhere in the DIY section we have a thread that shows you how to make a rig to measure your rear camber (not totally accurate, but close enough.)

wow man thanks I didn't know that about the tokico blues pretty good stuff I originally bought my car with those lowering springs and I think they are no brand but I bought the stock springs a while back for my cb7 I think im going to put the stock ones on and save up for some good suspension.
