I have a 1989 Civic Hatch that I road race. Need to get to 3 degrees front negative camber. I have not found any manufactured adjusters that will allow for this much. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can safely get this much camber? Thanks.

Try Skunk2 or Progress upper control arms.

How do you use this car? Is it an actual IT racecar, or just a track day/toy car. If it's an IT car, you can't legally replace any of the suspension arms for adjustable pieces like the Skunk2 or Progress arms.

Look for eccentric bushings for the upper control arm. They are IT legal. I can't remember who makes them, but there are a couple of companies that make them for Hondas/Acuras.

Why are you running so much front neg. camber, the hot setup should be 1-2 neg front and more neg rear camber to keep the car neutral.

I've got the rear parts, but also recommend Ingles or Progress for the front.

Doesn't it depend on tire selection. Hoosier wants a min of 2.5° with an optimal of 3°. :shrug:
