J-Power Camber Kit

I just bought a 09 Si sedan that came lowered on Eibach Sportlines and 18" wheels. Thought it handled great compared to my a 03 Tacoma Prerunner. But then I found this forum and learned about lowering springs, camber kits, and handling. J-Powers looked like a good inexpensive option. Searched this forum but found no reviews but found some very positive reviews for other cars on the web. Found the J-Power kit for 8th Gen Civics on ebay and it comes with Ingalls type rear camber adjusters and two sets (4) camber bolts for the front for $114 shipped. Kit came with instructions and there is a Ingalls install thread in the DIY section that I found very helpfull. Took me about 6 hours to install on four corners. I'm not a mechanic and took my time. Hardest part was the passenger side rear because of the exhaust pipe and heat shield on the stock camber arm. But the instructions and DIY thread address it so was expected. Only installed one camber bolt on each side on the top bolt holes in the front. Next morning took it to my local Firestone dealer for an alignment and asked for -1.5R, -1.0F, and 0F/R toe. Handling is amazing! Turns in much quicker and feels much more nimble. I highly recommend the J-Power kit. BTW Firestone is offering a special on lifetime alignments for $129.

How does the quality of the product look when you receive it?

I didnt realize they would offer a lifetime alignment if it was lowered. Learned something new
