i have a whiteline busher kit on my DC5r

Pro: makes rear camber adjustment possible
Con: only 1' adjustment.

did you feel much difference while you were driving ?

i tried looking on team-integra and came up with a couple of articles pointing out the pros and cons but im not sure if its worth doing this mod or not... i'm only considering it cause i can trade in my old tyres, since im getting re001s, and cash adjustments to get a front and rear setup.

I got the SkunK Racing (F+R) from the good people at JDMYard.

This was to correct the camber after installing Spoon progressive springs (Which are great on the street, but slow you down at the track. Need Coilovers). The Guys at Jim Hunter Suspension at Blacktown, like em.
They do the changes to my camber before & after each Super Sprint weekend. $70. Keeps me from wearing-out the inside tread of the tyres.

Pros...... I can get < 3 degrees of Neg Camber, Which really helps at the track.
Cons...(street) Depends on if you can adjust enought camber. If you can't, you need em. If you can get your camber right, with 0' Toe, you don't.

what about the use for daily and the occasional track ? I'm looking to do more track days later this year.

i don't use them and can do fast laps...

get coil-overs if you want to improve your handling

it is that simple.

i already have coilovers :P

Then improve your driving skills?
Invest in some track rims with semi's on it?
Baffled sump plate?

i already have coilovers :P

so why is it you feel you need camber adjustability?

my recent alignment showed i had about -1.5 degrees of camber all round because of my coil-overs (i.e. lowered)...

what did your last wheel alignment show up?

is there a problem you are trying to fix, or what?

nothing really... just been given the option to buy a set of front and rear camber kits to trade my old tyres + cash adjustment

I use ingall at rear....they are great....I am running -1 all round on street......more - on track.....

not sure why someone would be wanting to push that on you?

some people are more worried about tyre life compared to tyre performance.... even tho wu' seems like he wants to know the performance side of things.

get coilovers first.... then a camber kit.

i already have buddyclub n+ running on the car atm... a4set are you running a camber kit ? your experience and your current setup for daily use ? should 1 degree be decent on tyre wear ? I'd be happy to have my tyres lasting 10,000km only, im not so fussed about it since my cars a weekend warrior and future track car only !
