yes we have tie rods that are adjustable from stock to adjust the toe,all cars do.

aftermarket ones allow bigger scope of adjustment,usually used for drifting where crazy wheel alignments are sometimes used etc. no need for this on our cars

Thanks mate!

Erm a n00b question here but if i get a set of coilovers with the adjustable tops on them.... will i need a camber kit to adjust camber still...

sorry for the stupid question but i'm just confused about it

When you say coilovers with adjustable tops, what are you referring to? Something with damper adjustments or top hat mounts?

Before you buy a camber kit, make sure that you actually need one.

Plus one for the pro skunk2 camber kit. I got Bob Janes to adjust mine and it took ages to do as mine was out 5 degrees. Yikes.
The Pro kit was the only one with the most adjustability so it was the only choice but it gasn't given me any issues and I reccommend it.
Also Bob Jane was great in doing a alignment!

They are Ksport Kontrol pro's

And yeah thats why i haven't ordered a kit yet as i was gonna order the camber kit when i got the cator kit from whiteline. But if i do need has anyone had any problems with whitelines kit?

Yeh, you can't adjust camber via the strut tower on your civic. Well you could, but its not going to do anything. Its usually done by the Upper control arm.

Thanks for that mate.... well how do whiteline's camber kits rate? I thought may as well support some local aussie made stuff and they seem to know their stuff

Not sure about their camber kits, but whiteline does outsource their swaybar production to china. :(

Ah thats never a good thing to hear.... i thought they were a quality australian made product

I read on their site a real handling article and they stated the specs of an old 12 hr bathurst Eg civic..

Would you need camber kits to dial 1.5 degrees of camber in or is that possible with normal control arms?

cant adjust camber on stock civic arms.
thats why we get camber kits.
camber kit isnt really a good word for it,its pretty much the same arm that you have from stock,but they can be adjusted to change camber

Thanks for that cause i read over whitelines real handling article (is forkin old :P) and they didn't mention anything about needing a camber kit to adjust to their specs

Well looks like i'll be ordering their front and rear camber kit and castor kit....
Should go nicely with ksport coils and ASR brace and swaybar
