    Default Offset bushings

    Since I am only allowed to change the camber via offset bushings. Which is the better method? The upper wishbone anchor bolt bushings or the upper ball joint bushings? Also, should the regular range (-1.50 to +1.50) or extended range (+1.50 to +3.50) be purchased? I don't know how much the camber changes once the suspension is installed. Thanks.

    If none of the suspension components are bent and if you lower the car to about 5.5 inches off the ground, then you'll probably end up with 2 degress of negative camber.

    For the front end you are only allowed to do the anchor bolt method. In the rear you can use washers/shims and bolts. This applies to a CRX and similar Hondas.
    I agree with Richy as to the Camber change as a function of lowering as my front end is at 5.5" and the Camber was at -2.4 degrees. The rear seems to be less affected. I used SPC eccentric anchor bolts to correct the front and shims in the rear. The car is now within spec (<-1 degree).
