Exclamation Alignment Questions

So i need to get a camber kit for my rear end of my 99 honda civic si.

I have a few questions;

is this a good enough camber kit?
1. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/99-00...Q5fAccessories

i need something around $200 as i am on a very tight budget.

if you know of any other rear cambers fora 99 civic please let me know as my tires are horribly aligned.

well the no name is what scares me off there...
with balljoints and bushings you get what you pay for!

but if you do cheap out and buy those i HIGHLY advise you to get some scrap metal and make your own square washers to fit the top of those front balljoint adjusting bolts...
that type with just a normal washers are known to warp the metal of the control arms if you have them adjusted a few times... but if you make some square washers like skunk2 camber kits use it will equal out the load pressure and not warp the control arms metal.

If you just need the camber kit for the rear, then just buy the rear camber kit. That link you posted shows for the front and rear. That kit looks hella cheap and chances are you'll end up spending more than the price of a good kit repairing or buying another kit when that one fails. Save up a little more and buy a good brand name kit and be done with it.

I've never heard of "specialty products". They're also really cheap. I wouldn't trust those.

I've heard that blox and megan racing use crappy bushings, so I wouldn't go with those. I'd go with either Skunk2, eibach, ingalls, buddy club, or ksport.

Hardrace camber kit > *. Might be a little more expensive than the others but worth it. No need for modifications to prevent bolts loosening up and high quality material.

Should I be worried about not having a modification on my Eibach kit? What mod should I do to prevent the bolts from loosening up? Loctite?
