When To Use Camber Kits?/do I Need A Camber Kit? - Page 11

***07k20z3ftw*** · 11-04-2008, 07:34 AM

how are you guys acheiving more than -.20 camber in the front with the spc bolts? when my car was aligned we could dial in more than -.20 camber in the front..? do i need two sets of bolts?

808TWFG1 · 11-07-2008, 08:00 PM

i have a fg1 on 18" wheels and want to put tein s-tech on. on the website it says only 1.14" front and 0.83" rear. do you think i could get away without using any camber kit?
help anyone?

I just went and got an alignment today. Stock Si Sedan suspension BTW. I bought the SPC front kit and didn't get anything for the rear. When I got my results back the guy said the rear was at -2.0 and that there was no adjustment. Was his equipment messed up? Or am I just reading the factory specs wrong in the OP? I didn't think it was supposed to be that much in the rear stock.

He dialed in -1.6 in the front.

Yes i think that you will another set on bolts, i was advised to order two sets for that reason, they are on their way btw, not installed.

with one set of bolts, I managed to get -1.6 degrees of camber up front. several questions- which bolt did you replace on the front suspension? and is your car at the stock ride height?

the rear isn't adjustable... but you haven't lowered your car? that sounds to be a bit much, but it could very well be right. I'd recommend that you purchase a rear camber kit.

no, it won't destroy anything, you'll simply have a lot of negative camber. as long as you rotate your tires frequently, you should be mostly okay. IF you are purchasing a camber kit to actually make your car handle better, I'd strongly recommend getting a rear camber kit at this time.

that helps... until the tires heat up so much that the pressure goes up even more and the back end can't get any purchase on the road surface to speak of.

***07k20z3ftw*** · 11-20-2008, 07:38 AM

erichpride, im dropped on skunk2 lowering springs/stock struts for now. and i have spc front camber bolts, one on each side, but i cant get it aligned more than -.20 in the front

paolo2k2 · 11-20-2008, 12:36 PM

i just pump up my air pressures to lessen camber wear

08_Civic · 11-21-2008, 01:10 AM

I'm a noob at this but So if I lower my car 1.5 in front and rear. And I order my Camber kit (both Front and Rear). Would I need to do the aliment before or after I put in the camber kit? And I see So many Camber kit and some are adjustable and How would I know how to adjust it to? The front that is. I hear the rear cant be adjusted.

You get more adjustment if you put the camber bolt in the lower hole.

dorkiedoode · 11-30-2008, 02:52 AM

alright guys i don't if this have been ask before, which im sure it probably has. so spare the flames and tell me to go and read the thread. i just need a quick opinion from all the suspension expert out there. i should be on my HFP kit next week. therefore the drop is not aggressive enough to use camber kits. but, i want to put a camber kit in anyways since i have all the front and the rear sitting at my desk now. so my question is what you guys think i should adjust my camber setting to when i get it align? i was thinking 1.5front and 1.25 rear but im not sure if that is good for HFP drop? i looking for something to get the most handle out of the HFP kit and not destroy tires.

your camber settings are somewhat independent of the drop. changing your camber will improve your handling regardless of whether or not your car is lowered... those camber settings look good and shouldn't cause you any issues.

nickk20fg · 12-04-2008, 08:16 AM

can i adjust the stock rear camber kit myself or does it need a special tool

dorkiedoode · 12-14-2008, 01:49 AM

Bump.

dorkiedoode · 12-15-2008, 11:47 AM

Does anyone know if I can run with camber up front and oem back? Cause I only have the bolts in the front and I want to set it -1.5 front and oem back. Will that destroy my handling without the rear camber kit?
