Camber Kit vs Offset Ball Joints ??

[PakaloloHonda]

Let me ask you folfs... I had a guy that works at a shop
say that the best way to go was, *offset ball-joints*
they were expensive .. but I did it anyways ..

I lowered the 90 accord with the Eibach sport springs
and used the KYB NON ajustable struts for the front
and the shocks for the back ..

I have had the Falkens (205/55/15) on for the last 14
months .. hardly NO notice in wear .. specialy the back,
which shows NONE at all ...I run the 15" 5 star alloys (OEM)
from a 97 accord ..

However ... I seem to still feel the *wack* or *thud*,
when I hit a bump ..like the strut tower is bottoming out?

Did I do the right thing by going with the off set ball joints ?

Thanks in advance

I wanted to get those, but it looked like the ball joint would do all the smacking into the fender. Is that how yours is?

I am trying to figure out how to bend/make the steering knuckle take care of the camber, so that way nothing will hit unless you have it dropped like 4 inches.

the Ball Joint won't come close

to hitting the fender ..
(other wise I'd have all these *reverse* dents
on my fenders) LOL !!

the *wack* I'm experiancing, seems to be *lower*
in the suspension ...

The drop on the Eibach Sports went about 1 inch 3/4
on the front .. and about 1 and a half on the back.
It's a REALLY NICE ride with the system I installed,
not to mention the Falken's ..
(contrary to what *others might say about Falken's)
but damnit... I gotta watch those lil pot-holes. heheh

If you're thinking of getting the *off-set* b-joints ..
do so ..from MY experiance they have helped save the
LIFE of my tires, as a friend of mine has almost the same
set-up I do .. but he went with the *camber kit*
and he's changing tires every 8-10 months ...

I'm thinking that I *may* have the wrong struts installed,
or something else like my lower ball joints (the one with
the torn boots) is causing this problem ...

Thanks for responding Aero !!

A Hui Hou !!
