What does a camber kit do? The car handles excellently with UK settings of -1 front and -2 rear. Any more than that and you are going to waste money on tires and probably not help the handling of the car at all.

I think he might need one because of tire wear because his car is so low? Am I right Sonic?

Here is a good article on camber/caster from Honda Tuning Magazine. Hope it can answer your questions. But to make it short, camber kit allows you to change your camber from negative to positive.

Here ya go. But you got to have at least 17 in wheels in the back. Your front ball joints have to be pressed out to put these in. But IMO its a good product and works very well.

since i lowered my car to quarter inch gap all around I had to pick up a camber kit.

I went with SPC, they ran me $450 for a new 4 set. You can see em at http://www.racinglab.com/spc-camber-kit-071.html

I searched high and low for alternate companies, there aren't a lot because of the built in adjustment on stewie.
