Default Alignment, camber problem!!

Ok well i installed my new tein springs and there great, i love them and the stance. So i go to get it aligned and they said they could not adjust the camber at ALL they could only correct the toe. So he tried to sell me and camber kit installed for like 850, i was like ur ****in crazy. So is this true or was he just bull****ing to try and get me to buy a camber kit!!

note- i have a 99 civic ex with tein springs and sock stuts!!

Yup, he's right, you can't adjust the camber on your stock suspension. But I think you can get a camber kit for less than $850

there is an alternative to the kit... i found an alignment shop with frame straightening capability's, they rebent the knuckle and did a four wheel alignment for 160.00... complete, out the door, no tax... you get my drift???

i got a skunk 2 camber kit for like 150 bucks and looks pretty trick under the cars fender wells... look on ebay or do some searching on the net for camber kits for your car, you could probably buy 6-7 of them for 850 bucks, that guy is making at least 600 dollars off that camber kit he is trying to sell you

i think you have to replace the upper control arm/ball joint with an adustable one. i think northstar sells them for about $100/per side. i think you just have to shim the rear.
