Front camber options...

02SilverSiHB · 03-26-2008, 02:43 PM

I want to get about -1.5 in the front camber. Has anyone done this yet? I know with my EP-3, I used some optional Honda front bolts (one on each side to replace) and it gave me about -1.7. That's about what I'm looking for. If there isn't that option, I take it, it's safe to assume SPC or Skunk2's camber bolts will do the the job? What's the max negitve degree you can go with on those camber bolts from SPC and skunk2? Anyone know?

EDIT:
I found that Honda does have oem camber bolts like they had for the EP3. I'm going to buy two of these from Honda on Monday...hopefully they have them in stock.

There's people on here who got around -2.0 degrees using 2 camber bolts on each side in the front. Both the SPC and ingalls (Skunk2 doesn't make bolts for the front) is gonna give you around the same amount of camber is basically from those two it's personal preference. Personally I'd go with SPC.

yeah, I was thinking of those...but that's more money than I feel like spending...well, hopefully with one bolt on each side I can get around -1.5

Bump...found out Honda does have that oem replacement bolt...bit cheaper than buying those ingalls front camber bolts.

-.8 degrees is all you can get with the stock slip bolts.

damn...really? Unlike the ep3, we got -1.7 with the stock bolts. Well, I'll try it out since I ordered them...let you guys know how I like it.

I was able to get - 1.8 using 4 ingals camber bolts ( 2 each side )

Now I have -2.5 in the front using those same 2 bolts, and the adjustible upper pillowball mount. ( possible to get more, they didnt adjust anything )

**Nomar06** · 04-02-2008, 08:18 PM

im using ingals front camber bolts and running -1.5. Bolt is on the top hole.

BTRobertson · 04-02-2008, 08:39 PM

I had this issue and others have claimed to have experienced this issue as well: some shops have issues getting the full range of negative camber adjustment from bolts on certain cars because of the way different driving conditions affect the parts of any given car. Just be aware of that and don't blame the bolt if this happens to you. I have the Ingall's bolts but all my shop could muster was -1.4 in the front - the bolts are supposed to go all the to -2.0 negative camber, so you can see there's -.6 degrees of travel that have disappeared as a result of...Pittsburgh roads?

So, just be aware that your particular car MAY not be adjustable to -2.0 - it's not the bolts, it's your car's suspension and any shop worth their marbles should explain this to you. If they do, they aren't giving you a line of crapola.

02SilverSiHB · 04-02-2008, 09:29 PM

yeah, I can agree with that...I've seen people with way different camber with the same suspension setup as I had when I had the ep3.

CanyonDriver · 04-02-2008, 09:35 PM

I have 1 spc bolt per strut and i got -1.75.

im running Tein SS coilovers which could make a diff in the amount of camber since it is not a stock susp.

Definitely possible, since the coilover is the part that the bolt goes through.
