When To Use Camber Kits?/do I Need A Camber Kit? - Page 4

Highrev1 · 12-20-2007, 07:27 PM

He gets them out of the Factory Slip bolts...Not the factory mounting bolts. Honda allows up to 2 of their factory slip bolts to be used in order to keep the suspension within factory spec. There different that just the regular bolts...

***Sirbelch*** · 12-20-2007, 07:28 PM

Were do these slip bolts you speak of bolt up too?

Highrev1 · 12-20-2007, 07:48 PM

Right where the Factroy bolts mount the strut to the knuckle...There replacment bolts that are slighly thinner than the stock ones...No cam on the just a smaller bolt.

He can be taught!!!!

Thanks

great info! i will definately use the specs that were recommended in the first post of this thread! as far as alignment what can i tell them?

Highrev1 · 12-28-2007, 01:59 PM

What do you mean what can you tell them...Tell them to set it to what I suggested, but camber kits are needed for this adjustment..

RBFG · 01-10-2008, 10:53 AM

Good info Highrev1

Do you have any opinions about Eibach's Prokit springs? I want to lower my Si conservatively without breaking my wallet. I know lowering/raising a suspension will change the geometry, but after reading this post it looks like I wouldn't need a camber kit with the Pro springs. Just an alignment job.

I do long commutes so treadwear is important to me. Any advice would help.

Highrev1 · 01-10-2008, 10:59 AM

I would get camber kit front and rear. Then get a nice alignment.

mikey5x · 01-13-2008, 07:13 PM

AFter how much of a drop would you suggest a camber kit - would 1.5" warrant one...

Highrev1 · 01-13-2008, 10:24 PM

Even at stock height I suggest one.

Would you suggest using the lower mount as opposed to the upper mount for the front camber bolts? Just wondering cause SPC says top mount, I know it's just pivot points. Would a set of 4 be better then 2 or do you really only need 2?

***Sirbelch*** · 01-16-2008, 10:06 PM

4 will give you a larger adjustment range than 2. At 70 bucks for 4, why not?

nelsonr31 · 01-16-2008, 10:23 PM

If i were to use 2 what would be the better mounting location, upper or lower or does it really matter? SPC says upper, can anyone suggest otherwise?

***ryryninja*** · 01-16-2008, 10:47 PM

Thanks for all the help Greg.

Front is set at -1.1
Rear is set at -1.0

Couldnt get the last .1 but still good

car feels awesome!

quikhondadude · 01-18-2008, 06:46 PM

whats a good camber kit? i know theres a couple kinds so what do u recommend?

***Sirbelch*** · 01-18-2008, 07:01 PM

The rear SPC kit is easier to adjust than the Skunk2 but I have heard that the SPC kit can slip.

27IVTEC · 01-23-2008, 11:19 PM

So if I go with the Eibach Pro kit, will I need a camber kit?

Highrev1 · 01-23-2008, 11:24 PM

Read page One it is suggested.....

Highrev1 · 01-23-2008, 11:42 PM

IMO..It's not about springs...Its about being able to adjust your alignment settings...Though maybee needed for tire wear why not have real control over your suspesnion for handling features?
