It's spelled "Explanation," not "Explination." Just saying.

positive camber is called caster

actually, caster is how far forward or behind the wheel is from the center of where it should be. positive camber is called positive camber, steve

one way you can fight camber wear is with higher tread wear rated tires...i try to go no lower than 400. as long as your toe is set straight, your tires shouldnt wear that quickly at all. sure youll get camber wear, but camber isnt what eats up the tires.

also, the ingalls and wicked tuning camber kits arent essentially the same at all. sure they both correct camber, but with the ingalls kit you need two arms PER SIDE, as opposed to the wicked tuning kit, which has one arm per side. the ingalls kit replaces the two lower arms and the wicked tuning kit replaces the upper arm. if i had a rear camber kit, itd be the wicked tuning style one for sure.​

Actually, the Ingalls kit for the rear is a camber and toe adjustment kit, two arms for camber, and two for toe. While the kit comes with 2 arms per side, if you're only adjusting camber, you only need to use 1 bar per side. I'm currently only using the camber arms since the OEM toe arm can still be used to correct the minimal amount of toe I might have.

Also, apparently the Ingalls SmartArm kit is easier to adjust. Don't ask me why, I just read it in a review somewhere. I'd trust an adjustable straight arm to keep my camber in check better than an adjustable upper arm anyway.

The picture shows the Ingalls kit on a TSX, but its the same for the 6th gen Accord.
