honda ek3 camber problem

[frosty69]

i have a local honda ek3 (the 1 with the big lights ) i changed tyres and the ppl told me that the car needs cambering and that i need to buy a camber kit (for like $3k) .so i checked around and was told that these cars dont need cambering thats why there's no adjustment on it to camber it . so this lead me to believe that maybe there is a worn part some where , the both front tyres are cutting on the insides . Can anyone help me out here in finding out weather its a worn part throwing off the camber of the car ?i asked a lot of allignment places and they keep telling me i have to get the kit .i really finding it hard to spend $3k + installation for such a small thing

front kits are bout $1500
rear bout 1200
do u have lowering springs ? if yes then u need a camber kit

bad bushings ,upper ball joint could cause your camber problem

and yes there is NO WAY TO ADJUST CAMBER WITH OEM PARTS

[frosty69]

everything on the car is stock

[red_dragon]

in that case let your mechanic check the front end parts

[frosty69]

any idea the cost to do those things?
change bushings
ball joints
ends?

[red_dragon]

all depends on that is wrong

your mechanic will have to answer that

SPC suspension , front and rear camber kit. the best solution. nothing else can compare to this kit. have it on my ek3 hatch,lowered 3", absolutely no tyre wear problems.

[New Breed]

hey hirotoshi where u get this kit am intrested!!!! i have an ek3 also and i cuttin real bad with a 2'' drop.

[Madscientis]

is that SPC camber kit the best? my car totally stock but i thinkin about upgrading eventually to coilovers etc. and you gettin the bushings for them o when that go you have to buy back a whole kit? that is the only reason why i skeptical about buyin it.

[Hirotoshi]

my spc camber kit has been on my hatch for about 4 years,it comprised of a heavy steel front upper a-arm(sliding ball joint/4 bolts to secore & 1 bolt for adj), the rear is a forged steel adj shaft, i also purchased their aluminum rear lower control arm. this is an excellent kit(my present kuhmo,s ecsta supra tyre,s,have lasted over 2 year,s. this kit cost,s over $500us plus shipping & handling, but it,s way superior to the skunk2, was purchased over the internet, SPCsuspension.com.

I asking 1200 for the kit

[Damien]

The skunk 2 works good as well

[frosty69]

ok, well i installed the camber kit ,the brand was i think "OMNI" its the one with the 4 allan key bolts to tighten the placement of the ball joint when cambering. well any way , i noticed the rubber on the ball joint of the cambar kit is broken, how do i change the ball joints?is it the same ball joint for the stock control arm i have to get and have pressed in?or do i have to get the whole set up with the plate for the for the 4 allan key screws to go into ?

Tuner imports sells the replacement balljoints. And dude stop asking all those questions and use google to answer some. There are tons of info on the internet, just do a search. Thats how we learn.

[speedfreak44]

if you not your lowered lower than 2.5'' buying a camber kit is a waste of money, the toe is what is most important, and a little negative camber is good.
just properly rotate tires, i have tires over a year now and no sign of camber wear as yet. car is driven mon-fri . east t0 uwi

[Rahtid]

I took out my front and rear camber kits with the car still on drop-low springs,tires cutting like madness.
gonna put them back on soon as I get time to get the energy bushing kit to replace the worn bushings on the camber kit.

Brand is Skunk2, can I get the ball joint for it also by Tuner Imports?

[speedfreak44]

when u dropped with the springs did you realign ?

[frosty69]

hey , i changed the back suspension on the honda ek3, but for some reason its lower and scrapes almost everywhere , how can i raise the back ?

Once ur shock n spring take some beating after a period of time u does need camber kit even if u still rolling original ... Camber kit is like $1000 to $1500 for that .. Buy the camber kit n mellow
