I've searched but can't find how to adjust camber on 95 coupe. My honda manual doesn't tell either. It just says take it to alignment shop.
I bought a 95 EX coupe and it had 3" lower springs. I put stock springs back on and now the wheels are in at bottom an inch or so it looks. I'd like to bring top of wheels in so I can drive it to alignment shop.
I didn't see any alignment adjustment places while changing everything back.
Anybody know where alignment adjustments are made?
Thanks

You have to buy a camber kit for your car in order to adjust the camber. SPC, Ingalls, and Skunk 2 have excellent camber kits I had bad luck with my BLOX rear camber kit the bushings didn't last very long in those check out http://www.IAPdirect.com They have free shipping and were the cheapest that I found for my rear SPC camber kit

If it was lowered and the camber was correct then it has a camber kit on it. Just look, even better take it to the shop and get an alignment while you're at it.

So what I need to do is drive it like it is, and if they can't align, I need to get stock control arm brackets and exchange them. Right?

No you have a camber kit if it was lowered and had correct camber. Just take it to a shop and they will do it.

If it actually has camber kits on it then they are probably adjusted all the way out to have corrected 3'' lowering's worth of negative camber.

The important thing to find out is what type of front camber kit you have on the car currently.

If it's the complete upper control arm kit such as a Skunk2 then a competant aligment shop should be able to adjust the camber to suit stock height.

If the kits are the upper sliding balljoint, or upper knuckles then you will need to replace those with stock pieces as they usually don't adjust back to stock settings.

The rears?

If the upper control arms are shimmed simply remove the shims, or if it's an actual kit they have enough adjustability to go back to stock settings at stock height.

I don't think he knows what we are talking about. Can you just take some pictures of your suspension and post them on here?

The control arms and mounting hardware look factory. I can't find any shims either.
Would the ships be on the two top control arm mountings. They look stock also. I really can't find anything that has any offset that looks any difference than stock.
I'll try to get pics tomorrow if I can get to shop.
I've been on a 58 vette for 7-8 years also, and I have to get it home from body shop tomorrow.
Thanks for all the advice guys. I've worked on Chevys, VW, and Porsche off and on most of my life and I'm 61.
The little Honda cars are by far the most fun since the air cooled VW's I worked on in the 70s and 80s.

I have the same problem and whats weird is that I bought a Blox Racing front camber kit and some generic for the rear. I thought I was good and realized that I had messed up some where because my tires were gone in two weeks. I then set all my camber on the front and nothing happened and I almost got to the point where i was going to return them. I did some research and learned that you also have to adjust toe. Toe is what killed my tires and will now proceed to fix that. According to the vids you can fix toe by adjusting the tie rod. Hope this helps.
