it is use to corr. neg or pos. camber, I would first take your **** to an alinment shop, and get an alinement and see if there's any neg or pos. camber, if there is you need to buy a camber kit, (due to the fact that honda's don't have camber adjustment, they only have caster. ) also if you don't see it the camber may still be neg. caz in most case's like mine you can't see the neg camber with the humen eye, but I notice that **** when my tire wear's lol ) so good luck

You don't need a camber kit; just an alignment. Toe wears tire, not camber. I'm running -1.5F and -2.0R witout any wear at all. Look here:

And to the OP, do you do any research at all before asking questions? You have 6 or 7 threads on the first page alone, and you're constantly bumping them.

... not if you want adjustable camber for the track or if you're just really slammed and camber DOES start to affect tire wear.

For you, most likely. Get an alignment.

So you droped 1.5"? That's not alot; what springs are you running? How long have you been like this? Are you getting any uneven wear? HAVE YOU GOTTEN AN ALIGNMENT?

WTF, does everyone have to hold your hand? I gave you all the information you need, read all of the posts and the link that I posted. If you've only dropped 1.5", get a damn alingment, and you'll be fine.
Can this be locked?

my toe is in spec too, but i'm running ~2 degrees camber front/rear. my tire wear is pretty uneven, with the insides wearing more, especially in the front. i think a lot of it has to do with driving style. i take lots of high speed turns on sharp coners and i think it really takes its toll on my tires. good thing i know a place that mounts and balances tires for $12/each. i just get my tires flipped around so they wear evenly.

There's a difference between 'in spec' and correct. For the street toe should be set to 0. You can get away with 1/4" each side for better turn in if you track. Even if it's in spec, if both tires are set different, you can get uneven wear.

well it's zeroed out, and i havent changed my ride height. my car also tracks straight and true on level roads (follows the crown of the road just a bit). my accord was the exact same way (perfect toe, pretty nasty negative camber, inner tire wear). maybe i should play around with tire pressures a bit?

Duh, the negative camber is wearing your tires. The harder you drive the faster they will wear out.
Actually, the more negative you go, your tires will be more flat as far as tire contact goes when you do corner. Your tires are wearing out by driving straight.
