I need some help selecting a front camber kit. It's mainly for the street, but will be used for track too. I'll only need max 3 degrees -ve camber.
Are the BuddyClub ones any good? I haven't found anything bad on the interwebs. Or is it worth forking out the extra money for J's Racing or Vision or the likes. Skunk 2 ones are pretty exxy aswell. It's jst the BC ones are cheap... so just wanna know if anyone has had any bad experiences with them.

The J's Racing arms look like the old design Skunk2 that failed a lot painted black. No idea on Vision.
EDIT: Picture of the J's for reference:
I fitted a set of the Hardrace arms like Zel05's above to a friends car and I liked them. The four bolts that clamp the sliding adjustment part are chunky so they can be torqued up nice and tight to prevent any slippage of camber settings unlike some other designs. Also that general area of the structure is very sturdy. I think they are worth considering.
How much camber do you have now? Just lower the front some more .
Thanks mang!
I have enough camber now, but it's not even. More -ve camber on the right than the left, and I don't want to play with height to get it right. So I thought, balls i'll just get camber arms.
Where do I get a set of Hardrace arms from, and approx how much are they?
In relation to the BuddyClub ones though... have you heard anything bad about them. I have looked everywhere, and can't find anything bad about them. Where as the Skunk 2 ones had issues left right and centre.

I'm not really that comfortable endorsing any of the camber arms to be honest especially since I don't drive a DC2 and I don't have even have adjustable rear upper arms on my DC5. Most of them make me a little nervous. Remember that using camber arms will ever so slightly change the location of your roll centre/instantaneous centre, and that most of the arms also reduce suspension bump travel because they smack into the suspension towers before the OEM arms do.
The Buddy Club design is similar to the J's is it not? I don't think that design is ideal but it probably works fine.
My advice would be to have a search around for opinions/experiences on the Road Racing/AutoX and Suspension sections on Honda-Tech. Some members there have been racing double wishbone Hondas since we were in primary school.

Thanks man. Camber arms make me nervous too. This is why I want to get every opinion under the sun, and advise from people that have used them. I think the BC ones are similar to NEW Skunk2's. The J's ones just look brittle, so I think i'll stay away from them tbh.
Go for the Hardrace arms. I'll have my skunk2 pro series front camber up for grabs soon. Pm me if your keen>
Where do I get these Hardrace arms from?
Also, so what are your opinions on the BuddyClub ones? I know Shifty was running them, and had no issues, and I haven't heard anything bad about them... but I want to to hear your opinion on them. Ever tried them, or know someone who has used them?

Thanks for that man! Piece of mind. Surely going to get these then...
Thanks Gee. Just need fronts. JDM yard doing them for cheap right now too. But i'm budgeting hardcore, so if I can make a saving somewhere... i'm just going to have to do that.
