GE8 Camber recommendations?
Looking for recommendations on front and rear cambers kits for our GE8's. I installed Eibach prokit on 17x7 205/40-17 +45. Looking for some cambers now, Anyone have sites and pricing available. Doesn't seem like there are any out there.

Unless you want to bring in one of these bad boys from japan for $1313.46 shipping not included):
hey vinn, is that part no. for the SI camber bolts? for $12 bucks...i'll go that route. I was gonna buy some SPC camber bolts which was like $20-30 for a pair.

If you change the bolt, remember you need to get an alignment!
And I don't have to go to Japan or Asia to get that trailing arm....

I really haven't looked at the car and which bolts you are talking about, so if the answer would be obvious if I went and looked, just tell me to take a hike!

+1 on this question, i was looking at the spc camber bolts and it goes up to 1.75 degrees, how much do the civic si bolts do? and are there any other bolts that would give more camber?

I still can't seem to get the camber bolts from my local dealership here in Toronto Ontario Canada, can anyone help me out by pointing out the part number on Bernardi Parts?
My dealership said although that is a Honda part number they don't recognize it in their system.
lastly, since I'm lowered on Eibach Pro-Kit will the negative camber make that much of a difference? Is it necessary to get the camber bolts to get the alignment right? Just wondering since the rear is not fixable already.
Any help is greatly appreciated thanks
