Default camber kit question..

im looking to go to do laps this year on a track, but i dont feel like wasteing money on tires for them to wear quick becuase of camber, and no im not raising it back to stock hieight, but there are types for balljoint, and bushings, etc.? wondering what holds up better, and how much do they normally go for, its for a 1990 integra.

you should be fine if you get a 4 wheel alignment done. a little camber is good for track driving. not sure what a good amount of camber would be...it all depends on the set up. my guess is -0.5 to -1.5

uhhhh. u dont know what your saying. driving normally lowered is what gives u camber wear. racing with camber gives u better traction around corners and actualy makes your tires wear evenly

In my experience, I'd always use a camber kit, it will cost a bit, but you can dial in how much camber you want to run. I've seen so many cars out there that are slammed and their wheels are on like a 45 degree angle, not good for wear!

My opinion, do it right or don't do it at all! FYI, granted this is a DC2, a stock Type R has -0.5 degree camber, don't remember the tow settings though.
