Hardrace Front Upper Camber Kit Hardened Rubber for Honda Civic (1996-2001) – Adjustable Camber, More Grip
Lowering a car pulls in negative camber that the factory arms can't correct, which wears the inner edge of the tyres and costs grip. This Hardrace front upper camber kit is an upgrade over the factory arms. It lets you set camber exactly where you want it, so the tyres wear evenly and grip better.
The arms use hardened rubber bushes, a high-strength, anti-crack compound that is firmer than the factory bushes but still absorbs vibration.
Key Features
- Adjustable camber
- Corrects camber after lowering for even tyre wear
- Hardened rubber bushes for firm, quiet control
- High-strength steel construction
- Supplied complete with bushes or joints fitted, so no press is needed
- Bolts to the factory mounting points
- 2-piece set
What's in the Kit?
- Front upper camber arms (2 pieces in total)

Installation
Support the car safely on axle stands or a ramp. Remove the factory arm and bolt the Hardrace arm in its place; it comes complete with its bushes or joints fitted, so no press is needed. Set adjustable arms to the same length as the factory parts to start. Tighten all fixings to the vehicle manufacturer's torque figures with the car on its wheels at normal ride height, so the bushes aren't pre-loaded. Have a full four-wheel alignment done after fitting. We recommend professional fitting.

Do I need an alignment?
Yes. Have a full four-wheel alignment done after fitting, and use it to set the adjustable arms to the settings you want.
Does it come with the bushes fitted?
Yes. The arm comes complete with its bushes or joints already fitted, so it bolts straight in with no press needed.
Will it make the ride harsher?
Only slightly. The hardened rubber is firmer than the factory bushes but still absorbs vibration, so it stays comfortable for everyday driving.
How much camber should I run?
For road use, stay close to the manufacturer's figures or slightly more negative. Track cars often run more, but this increases inner tyre wear on the road.
Do I need it on a standard-height car?
It is most useful on lowered cars, where it brings the geometry back into spec. On a standard car it still gives firmer location and finer adjustment than the factory parts.
Will it fit my car?
It is listed for the models in the Fitment section. If your car has a different engine, drive layout or market spec, check with us before ordering.
Is it road legal?
Yes, it is a bolt-on part for road and track use. Tell your insurer about any modifications.
Is it covered by a warranty?
Yes, Hardrace parts are covered against defects in materials and workmanship.
Is it a genuine Hardrace part?
Yes, we are a UK Hardrace stockist and supply genuine Hardrace parts.
