How much camber does the Front Camber Joint add?

The Front Camber Joint adjusts in 3 stages and adds up to approximately 2 degrees of negative camber over stock with the factory dampers. Combined with J's Racing coilovers the range extends to approximately 3 degrees, and ride-height adjustment can expand it further.

Why does the FL5 need more front camber?

The FL5 generates cornering loads that roll the front tire onto its outer shoulder, giving up grip mid-corner. Added negative camber keeps the contact patch flat under roll, which raises front grip and evens out tire wear in hard use.

How is this different from camber plates?

Camber plates work at the strut top and are limited by the strut tower opening. This joint works at the bottom of the knuckle through an eccentric ball joint, achieving larger, more repeatable adjustment without altering the geometry above it.

Is installation straightforward?

It is a job for a professional shop: the backing plate must be removed or modified during installation, and a full wheel alignment is required afterward. Once installed, stage changes are a routine alignment-rack adjustment.

Is it safe for street driving?

Yes, with the usual care owed to any serious suspension component. J's Racing recommends periodic inspection of the bolts and joints, particularly before circuit days, as part of normal maintenance.

Description

J’s Racing Front Camber Joint for FL5 Honda Civic Type R [CAJ-L5]

The J’s Racing Front Camber Joint for the FL5 Honda Civic Type R unlocks the front camber the chassis needs to use all of its tire. An eccentric ball-joint structure at the bottom of the front knuckle adjusts in 3 stages, adding up to approximately 2 degrees of negative camber over stock with the factory dampers, and up to approximately 3 degrees when combined with J’s Racing coilovers, with further range available through ride-height adjustment.

Design and Performance

More front negative camber keeps the outside tire’s contact patch flat on the road as the FL5 rolls into a corner, raising front grip on street and circuit alike. Because the adjustment happens at the knuckle’s lower ball joint rather than at a strut slot, the added camber is achieved without compromising the factory suspension geometry above it.

Features

Camber adjustable in 3 stages
Eccentric ball-joint structure mounts at the bottom of the front knuckle
Further range available through ride-height adjustment
Up to approximately 2 degrees added negative camber with stock dampers (approximately 3 degrees with J’s Racing coilovers)

Applications

Honda Civic Type R: FL5 | 2023-present | 2.0L K20C1 Turbo

Notes

The backing plate must be removed or modified during installation; professional installation is recommended
A wheel alignment is required after installation
Inspect fasteners periodically, especially before track use

About J’s Racing

J’s Racing is one of Japan’s most respected Honda tuning houses, developing parts the hard way: on real race tracks in Super Taikyu endurance competition and time attack rather than on paper. From aero and titanium exhausts to suspension and driveline components, every product carries lessons learned from decades of racing Hondas at the limit. Bulletproof Automotive imports J’s Racing parts directly from Japan, bringing authentic, race-proven JDM engineering to enthusiasts in the US and worldwide.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
