There are no camber kits for FD's because they are not McPherson strut suspensions. Camber adjusts by the eccentrics on the lower suspension arms.

How much do you really need? I was able to get a good amount of camber out of my FD on the alignment rack. If you are trying to set a lowered car to have stock like alignment settings and cant get there, the FD is likely lowered so low that its hurting its handling as the stock stuff seemed to have a wide range of adjustment on it.

That being said, they are just eccentric bolts. Just get more offset ones in the right size?

Take a look at the various Super Now products on RHDJapan:

Current alignment:

-2.0.....Front Camber
5.6......Front Caster
0.........Front Toe
-1.5.....Rear Camber
0.........Rear Toe
0.........Rear Thrust

I could have taken away caster for more camber, but I settled on these settings. Given caster, camber couldn't go higher. I think 2.5-2.75* negative camber would be better. This is a autox setup. My ride height is higher now (with coilovers) than it was on my old Eibach prokit.

I carry Nagisa and I believe Cusco might make a camber arm as well.

Interesting, haven't seen that before.

If the goal is just to increase camber, couldn't some material be added to the bosses that the camber bolts sit against?

I'll be under my car replacing bushings, so I'll take a look there. I haven't heard of anyone doing this, but it may be do-able.
