Work begun slow today, so I figured it would be a perfect oppurtunity to install the ST front & rear camber kit on wifey's accord, along with a routine tire rotation, and of course an alignment.
pics may suck my phone lens was dirty.
ST Camber kit FRONT & REAR
Adjustable ball Joints
Adjustable rear arms
Car prepped
Install completed
front
rear
My driving impression and product feedback.
PROS
FULL +/- 5.00 in the F & R adjustment
Fits like stock OEM Mounting locations. No mods. neccessary
The camber kit came loaded with user freindly directions.
Product looks strong & durable.
Adjustments to camber are made almost effortlessly.
Very affordable yet competitive pricing
CONS
Overall design of front ball joints may need to be re-vamped, very noisey going over High/Deep bumps & potholes
Color is plain, Variety wouldn't be too bad.
Construction Material withheld
( unclear as to what lubricates the joints? spherical or?)
overall I give this product an 8.5

Here's another update guys. Finally did the TL-s sway bar install. I also had to order new endlinks due to a broken link on the drivers side.I opted to use the energy suspension bushings for pure flash. Just looked to plain for me.
so here's a little bit of feedback/review
Bushings: Overall the look good and do their job.
But Do not order the E.S. kit 20mm, I strongly reccomend the 19mm although the bar states 20mm when you order. The ES kit will require modification to the universal bracket that attaches to the subframe.
SwayBar: Larger Diameter and solid, greater improvement over the stock spaghetti strap anyday.
Endlink: Honda no longer sells them in singles due to the revision of the endlink. By observation only the new EL looks 1mm larger
Overall combination Review: ( results may differ depending on how in-tune you are with your vehicle, and conditions that brought forth the modification.)
Steering response: Increase (quicker, tighter turns)
Steering effort: Decrease (less driver input )
Body roll: D (very little roll with the new setup)
Ride Stability: I ( due to a broken endlink I noticed a big Improvement- reduce sloshing/oscillation with this mod. )
Oversteer: D
Understeer: I (favorably..I like to dive in them accelerate out)
New Upgrade parts 06 TL-S Swaybar 20mm, Updated Accord EndLinks, Energy Susp. Swaybar bushings
Old vs. New
My broken Endlink
Horrible pics of install ( I was in a rush )

Here's the latest and greatest updates on wifey's sedan! A Few buddies and I stayed up 36+ hrs (include 8hr regular work day) to complete the car in time for Nisei Showoff 8/16/08, we never slept and went straight to the sunrise car show.
We had to leave my house by 6am, finished the car close to 5:45 am. by the time I got my haircut & we all showered to leave it was 8:12, dippin a lil faster than the speed limit we made it to downtown (53 miles) by 8:46 < hehe in time for roll-in :o
Shout-outs:
Bazan Auto body For the paint work and exterior detail
realJDMmarc My #1 Ninja for the wiring, the interior detail, and putting up with my hormones...hahaha
KuniEF -"bobby Lotty" for those Heinekens
That "NINJA JR" For de "yack in da box"
^ His friend James my New acquaintance
^^ ----- These two gentlemen with the big assist detailing the works' (18's hey they're 3ft tall closer to the ground for them, LOL j/k)
Last but not least 1fresh6spd "normanskie" the viet speaking filipino
for installing the Mugen visors ( although I'm still tucking back in missed molding myself)
New parts installed : Inspire Chrome Headlights, hybrid/tsx/ Mirrors, Mugen ventilated Visors, New red H, White Lug nuts
Future Mods: Reacros, Exhaust, S/C, Inspire fogs & 06 Bumper, Legit Mugen Poly Front lip ( hahaha), Brake Kit & Full Coil-over suspension
