Ordered from ardperformance.com for about $140. The upper control arm, or the camber kit, feels a lot stronger than the stock. From the stories of multiple Ingalls camber kits breaking, I decided to go with SPC.
I took a pic during install. Very easy install, 3 bolts. It took me ~1 hour per rear camber arm. But I did have to jack up the car and work in ~95 degree weather. (my camera is crapping on me, 5 yrs old)
The other pic shows what happens when you have a sportline drop, and drive 10000 miles with the camber. These are front tires, the rears have relatively little wear.
Don't let camber wear happen to you! These tires are now in the back, and before I got the camber kit, I spun out a couple times in the rain. I did take the turn a bit quick, but the other was a loss of control at low speeds, ~20.

Installed my front and rear SPC's along with my pro-kit.. It's great. The camber kits were easy to install.

Oh yeah, yesterday we installed the springs and the rear camber.. wasn't sure about the front, but today when I got my car alingment at good year, they told me I was off in the front. I had my front camber kit parts in my trunk. I told them go ahead and install it. Everything went well, and when I came back to pick up my car the guy told me the set I have for the front did not fit, so they have their own parts (SPC) and installed their set which was cool.

im getting a "race specialty" camber kit in soon. Hopefully itll have good quality too, cause ive never heard of the brand before. At least it's cheap... Once you said 95 degree weather, i somehow knew where u were from. Summers really suck down here.

i have the f/r spc camber kit installed, and had an alignment the next day. i had this done in march/april 04.. now the rear wheels look a lil "butterfly"(kinda turning in at the top, jus a LITTLE) , its not as strait as it used to be. but i dunno, i cant really tell, i have no camber wear on the tires at all.,and i never adjusted the height on my GCs. should i get another alignment? or maybe my eyes are playing with me..hah

To those with the SPC camber kit....did you get the kit with or without the rear control arms? Under what conditions would you need the rear control arms? They add like $150 to the price and I'm not sure if I need them.

I just called SPC and the Tech there said that the control arms are mainly for show and are not required on our cars. If you have a Civic then they are. But for ours you just need part numbers. 67230 for the rear and 81280 for the front.
