I know its expensive, but its a TSX front camber kit from Skunk2, will it work?
It would probably be more logical to buy an ingalls or something made for our car, but just to see  if it would i had to ask.

Those look nice, but they are pretty expensive.  You're better off getting a new set of OEM upper control arms and an Ingalls front camber kit.

Won't the Skunk 2's provide more adjustability for the weekend/road racer, also I'm guessing caster and toe can be adjusted by these, though correct me if I'm wrong though.  These may be my next component so I can make day off adjustments as I plan to road race the accord this summer.

Good luck finding the Type II, they are sold out nationwide right now, the Type I's are scarce as well, though I did manage to procure one.

Caster and toe will probably not be adjustable from the coilovers themselves.  You would use your factory adjustments for that.  Thien can clarify this though.

Coilovers cannot adjust caster or toe. Coilovers can only adjust camber, but camber does affect toe. Now, the Skunk2 do not have camber plates to adjust camber on them. So, camber cannot be adjust through the coilovers. Now, we do have SLA front struts. SLA meaning that our struts are connected to the lower control arm instead of being connected to the knuckle. That means coilovers will more and likely won't adjust camber no matter if it comes with a camber plate or not.

I assume best bang for buck coilovers are Tein Basics?

What I really want is a setup that is adjustable (height + camber, and maybe the damping also) for a decent price (Basics seem to be around 1000-1200 CDN)

If you want height and damper adjustment, then you should consider the Tein SS or SS-P instead of the Basics.  No matter what suspension you buy, you must buy a camber kit.  No aftermarket coil over can adjust camber, only a camber kit can do that.

Ah righteous. I had thought some kits came with a camber kit also.

Shouldn't the neuspeed supercup kit be up on here?

It seems like a good deal, has height adjustability (albeit not as much as a coilver)
