since they are for the front, I think they are just the usual "bolts" like Ingalls and SP make for our cars. if I'm correct only the rear kits are adjustable...

ok, we just put camber correction kit on my buddy's accord, it was slotted so you could change the camber in the front. . .. .

so the way it looks...about $160 for the rears...and like 40 for the frots...plus alighnment..it's going to be about $260 for a complete camber correctrion?

on the rears.....
go to a local junkyard that's got a 3rd gen with rear suspension still on it. remove the set of adjustable parallel links on the back of the car...
now jack up your car and remove the gas tank (required for all camber correction kits on the rear.. the bolt that holds the parallel links on the car has to be pulled from the front. it's a foot long and the gas tank is 4" in front of the suspension.)
install the junk yard adjustable parallel links in place os the solid bars on your car.
voila!

hmmmmmm.... next time my tank's empty I might just steal them off my parts car for the fun of it..

But there's a cheapo camber correction kit for the rears.



As for the fronts, the bolts are simply offset shaped heads so that when you turn the bolt, it causes the camber to change on the car. it's adjustable to about +- 1 degree with the bolts, and you can change the amount of correction simply by turning the bolt inside the strut/mount. when you've got it where you want it, simply hold the bolt in place and tighten down the nut on the other end..
Easy cheesy. any alignment shop can do this in their sleep.

if an allignment shop can do this easily, if I bring them parallel links from the junked gen3, will they be able to figure out how to work with it? how much can the junked 3rd gens bars be adjusted, if at all?

an alignment shop will NOT install these for you. you might get a mechanic to do it, but an alignment shop will laugh when you tell them to remove the gas tank and tear apart the rear suspension.

as for adjustability numbers, I can't tell you that. I've never done it, but I've talked to a few other knowledgeable guys about it and we're all positive it can be done. (both parallel links are the same length and bushing size, just one set is a solid bar, the other set has adjustable length.)
