GE8 Camber recommendations?

Looking for recommendations on front and rear cambers kits for our GE8's. I installed Eibach prokit on 17x7 205/40-17 +45. Looking for some cambers now, Anyone have sites and pricing available. Doesn't seem like there are any out there.

i was talking to JDM_DOHC_SiR, n he said that we can used the Camber bolt off of a '06+ Civic Si. you can just go to your local honda parts dealership n order it from them

The rear is rough because the rear hub plates are welded to the torsion beam not bolted on like the GD

Unless you want to bring in one of these bad boys from japan for $1313.46 shipping not included):



hey vinn, is that part no. for the SI camber bolts? for $12 bucks...i'll go that route. I was gonna buy some SPC camber bolts which was like $20-30 for a pair.

+1 i'd rather have OEM anyway, think i'll pick these up if they are the Si bolts

i picked up some SPC bolts and the bolt head and nut dont match... the head is like 15 mm and the nut was actually like 19 mm... so off sizing... eh... dont really wanna put these on... anyone wanna buy them?

The bolt part number is what is listed on the sticky to convert the USDM Fit to a JDM Fit.

If you change the bolt, remember you need to get an alignment!

And I don't have to go to Japan or Asia to get that trailing arm....

you should be allowed to correct with the front.

so this may sound like a complete noob question, but it is something I have wondered and never really bothered to find out. What exactly does a camber kit do?

our cars dont come with camber adjustment... so camber bolts/kit lets us do that for proper alignment...

heres some food for your mind

Do you know how much -/+ camber these bolts allow?

I really haven't looked at the car and which bolts you are talking about, so if the answer would be obvious if I went and looked, just tell me to take a hike!

+1 on this question, i was looking at the spc camber bolts and it goes up to 1.75 degrees, how much do the civic si bolts do? and are there any other bolts that would give more camber?

I still can't seem to get the camber bolts from my local dealership here in Toronto Ontario Canada, can anyone help me out by pointing out the part number on Bernardi Parts?

My dealership said although that is a Honda part number they don't recognize it in their system.

lastly, since I'm lowered on Eibach Pro-Kit will the negative camber make that much of a difference? Is it necessary to get the camber bolts to get the alignment right? Just wondering since the rear is not fixable already.

Any help is greatly appreciated thanks
