Front Camber Kit

[700hpCb7]

ive seen the thread under the suspension topic and it wont let me post a reply, so im asking here. Will an eg (92-95) civic front camber kit work on our cb7? they look like they are the same control arm shape but i dont know for sure. i bought the adjustable things on ebay but they are garbage so this is why i want to know.

if u want that mad camber hellaflush look they will fit but there not as long as cb uca so even fully extended youll have some mean camber

no im a function > form guy so it wont make the camber perfect to no tire ware?

Absolutely not. Those EG or EK or whatever control arms will give you major negative camber, even with camber kit installed. Like dude said, people use them when they are going for that hellaflush look. Whatever you bought on Ebay may have been garbage, thats why you buy a reputable brand. Buy the kit made for a CB, anchor bolt or sliding ball joint style whatever you prefer.

If you want proper function, buy proper parts (and those ebay parts may very well kill you... I learned that lesson the hard way, when my kit broke at 65mph!)

Ingalls or SPC, parts made for the 90-93 Accord. Nothing else.

Second the SPC upper adjustable ball joint kit. I got it from summitracing.com I've been driving hard with it installed for the last 2 years with no issues at all and no slippage.

FYI you can run up to -1.0 camber in front without wearing your tire out prematurely, granted the toe is kept in spec. I've had mine at -0.9 for about 15k miles and I can BARELY tell a difference in tread height between the inside and outside.....with high performance A/S tires that I expect no more than 40k from this is no issue for me because I like the better handling that comes with a little negative camber.

A little negative camber WILL cause premature wear, though only slightly. As long as you keep an eye on the inner edge to be absolutely sure there's still enough tread there, it's good. I've experienced severe camber wear (down to the belts) due to ignorance, and holy crap... no a fun time.

cool beans. i appreciate it cause i run drag radials and man i dont want to go through those things every month because of camber wear lol

[deevergote]

You also don't want to be relying on the inner edge of your drag radials for your primary contact patch! You want the center of those things to bite when you launch. I assume you actually race on a track, and aren't just driving around daily on drag radials...
