Here is a thread I found about link to camber kits. Not sure if there still available. Ingalls has camber kits, check there site out. 87 Prelude upper control arms work for camber adjustments . (not sure of all years)

Since the eibach spring don't lower more than 1.5" (I'm pretty sure it's a 1.4 inch drop), you shouldn't necessarily need a camber kit, just a four-wheel alignment that you can get at a local shop.

what kind of alignment do you want to do?


MAJORITY of tirewear is dued to inproper toe alignment. The only way to fix this is to go to a wheel shop and get an alignment done.

Camber does destroy tires too but at 1.5inch drop there shouldn't be alot of tire wear so a camber kit is not necessarily. I personally believe that 2degrees of camber is beneficial for our cars when cornering. Toe is a bigger factor in tirewear so get an alignment pronto!

Wait, you didn't get an alignment after lowering your car? You HAVE to, so you don't destroy tires, which it sounds like you're doing now.
