Need help with Alignment

[Deez_Nutz1085]

I just lowered my 07 Civic LX. I've got 17" ADR Battle EXE wheels with 215x45x17 tires and Skunk2 lowering springs at a 2.25" drop. I need to get the tires aligned but need the specs. HEEEEELP!!! : )

Front camber: 0° 00' (±30')
Rear camber: -1° 30' (+1° 5'/ -0° 45'). Note: Negative is in at the top

You definitely need a camber kit to get within those specifications.

Thanks. Why do you say I need a camber kit?
If possible, could you provide the stock settings for
Camber, Toe, and Differential?

Thanks

You need a camber kit because you've lowered your car a substantial amount and the suspension geometry is definately outa whack. If you don't correct your camber to stock or handling settings, then your tires may wear out in a mere 5,000 miles, if not less.

Any alignment shop should have the factory specs on the computer, but if you want to change any of that, talk to them and they'll change it to your specs.

what kind of settings to you guys recommend for the best handling.

For the street, I'd go with -0.5* to -1.0*camber up front and -1.0* camber in the back. Any more would probably be a bit too aggressive for the street and for a daily driver; plus, it would wear your tires pretty quick. As far as toe goes, I'd ask the suspension guru Highrev1.

There is a great thread on this subject if you spend a little time finding it.
