Go to Revwerks - Rhys is great to deal with!

I've owned both Megan and Skunk2 camber kits for the EK. I didn't have any complaints about either of them. I've never heard of Block though.

Hey spacerz,
How much did you get both front and rear for?

Less than retail price of what skunk2 has on their site?

I got some at JDM tuners, they were used though

I had Skunk2 rears and they were the most annoying squeaking mofos. Lubing did not help. After almost a year on them, I finally had it, and just did the rear camber washer trick and went back to stock arms. I have never been happier.

OP, why do you need a camber kit. How low is your car? Getting an alignment will fix most issues as incorrect toe causes camber wear when lowering contrary to the belief that camber causes wear.

Im actually doing a coilover install and just wanted to take care of it all at once. If im only dropping 1.5 to 2 inches will I need them?

No, don't bother if that is as low as you are going. I am just under 2 inches dropped, did rear washer camber fix using Omni Power rear shim kit, and got an alignment and have no problems.

How's the wear on the tire? Man that is a Hella cheap alternative.

There is no wear whatsoever. Like I said, alignment fixes any sort of wear issues as it brings the Toe back to spec, not camber after you lower your car. Additionally, I use the shim kit to dial in the camber I want. Look it up. Rear washer shim trick. It should be fine as long as you are not lower than 2.5 inches.

I should have done this in the beginning as it would have saved me a bunch of money and patience.


Pic of my kit. It does the same thing as $150 camber arms without squeaky annoyance. These are high quality bolts. I couldn't fine anything similar locally:

It's been awhile, but I'm pretty sure I just ordered from Omni direct. Just try e-mailing them.

When I had my dc integra I had the skunk2 front and rear, rears were fine, the fronts would go through balljoints every season, and I didn't have a aggressive camber angle, and most after market control arms if your "slammed" watch out for hammer marks on the shock towers

I couldn't tell you. I owned my last EK civic 3-4 years ago.

I've also owned a T1R rear camber kit...I didn't have any problems with that one either.
