This is my first DIY, so there is always room on improvement C&C would be great.

Aim: To Install "HardRace" rear camber kit into a 99-00 Civic EM1, This will also be same as if you were to install on "EG, DC2"

Required:

- HardRace, or other Camber Kit, Supplied by Yonas ( JDM YARD)
- Breaker Bar + extension
- Ratchet
- 14 mill Socket
- 2x Car Jack
- Gloves, because your hands can get pretty dirty !
- WD40



Making sure the camber kit is for your series car



Steps to install

We will start off by jacking the vehicle up, and taking the wheel off the car, ( im quite sure every ones knows how to take a wheel off :P), with my wheel i like to put it under the side skirt, just incase for some reason the jack was to fail the car would slowly fall on the wheel.





Step 2 : once we have taken the wheel off the Rear camber arm is now exposed to us and we can start working on it, there are only three bolts we have to worry about, nothing els!



Step 3 - To make the process alot easier i use a regular jack with you can find in your boot, if not there very easy to source, put it directly under the rear, Lower control arm, and slowly wind it up, The reason why you do this is to ensure that we will not be forcing anything to fit.



Step 4 - If the Camber arms have never been changed before, then the best thing to do is use some WD40 just to give it that little bit of lubrication.



Step 5 - Once you have done "Step 4" then grab your breaker bar + 14mill Socket, and slowly undo the bolt until it becomes easier to undo,



Step 6 - Do the same as "Step 5" to the two rear bolts.



This is just a comparison photo from the old to the new.



Step 7 - The new camber arm is about 10 mill shorter then stock so when installing make sure to not screw the to back bolts in fully, so we can allow for some movement with the new one.

Once the new camber arm has lined up, then you man tighten the bolts
in the example photo below you and see it has perfectly lined up.



Step 8 - Once you have tightened the bolts, put the wheel back on and lower the car back onto the ground.



Step 9 - Once you have lowerd the car back onto the ground, some people tend to neglect this step, jack the car but up take the wheel off again and get your breaker bar and tighten it for the last time.

Why we do this is because there may have been a slight change in the camber arm position, so this will insure that the bushes will last longer.



Step 10 - Your done ! but u still gotta do the other side..

Other Comments

*** REMEMBER - Running to much negative camber will result in uneven Tyre wear, Rubbing against springs, shocks etc.. Not a good idea for your safety and your wallet.. ***

NOTE : My wheels had slight natural camber from when the car was lowerd.
After taking the "After" shot i have adjusted my camber.

Any Question's, im more than happy to answere.
