I was wondering if it is possible to install camber kits yourself and if it is how is it done and how to measure adjustments...Oh..and which kits fit our cars. I'm planning on putting 18's thats why:D:D

i installed one on a 91 accord. it was pretty easy. You'll want to get your camber checked after its installed to make you you're even on both sides.

I would really discourage 18's. Your turning radius will go to shit and because you're using such big wheels you'll have to go with like 30-35 series tires which will make it ride like SHIT. Just a forwarning.

I really dont care about the turning radius cuz I probaly will be turning slow anyway to pimp out da 18's and as for it riding like shit...I probaly won't even notice cuz I'll be knockin' my 4-sub, 2000W system while pimpin' out the Hoop Ride:D:D:D:D LOLOLOL

Wheels have nothing to do with camber. That is suspension. Switching wheels has no effect on it.

Wheel size does too matter on dealing with your camber. BTW, just install the camber kit yourself, it's pretty easy, then go get your camber set at a tire dealer and also get an alignment

if you dont get size of tire thats way too small.. you wont need a camber kit.. 215/35/18's on your car with no lowering will not need a camber kit..but you might need a set of fender flares.. lol

Straight from the F.A.Q. at Ingalls.

Will LARGER diameter wheels change my camber?
Wheel diameter does not change camber. Changing the diameter of the wheel doesn't change any suspension geometry and will not affect camber.
