I need to correct camber on my S13 with 15" wheels and 205/50 tires. Do I need to buy after market camber kits? I'm planning to replace the balljoints, do they affect the camber/alignment? If I need them, do camber kits include ball-joints? I don't want to get aligment and have it go off because of the ball-joints.Do I need anything other than ball-joint replaced? The car is running OK right now but it's got 143K on it. I'm on a tight budget so I don't want to have to repeat service fees but can't afford to replace everything at the same time either.
Thanks

Do I need kits for camber? 1.8" drop, 15" 205/50 on S13

I have a brand new set of Ingalls eccentric bolts for s13 89-94. Let me know if you are interested. These are the same bolts that PDM Racing sells for $31.50 a pair. I'll do $27 shipped.gumby74 wrote:If you are refering to the fronts, the cheapest, best option is going to be eccentric bolts. You can get them through Summit racing or pretty much anybody that sells suspension for $20 to $35.

To the OP, I assume you are familiar to Hondas? I can assure you alignment issues are resolved differently on the 240. Replace the balljoints, use the eccentric bolts to correct the camber, and if possible replace the tie rod ends at the very least. Chances are the t/c rod bushings are shot so that can be the next project. Just step back and remember the s13 would now be well over 10 years old. Lots of wear items to be replaced. What are your plans for the car if I may ask?

Just highway driving for now. About 80-90 Mph. Which is why I'm looking to start on suspension, brakes etc.
