rubbing problem
hi, this is my first post on honda-tech
well, i lowered my car again for the summer...i also installed a skunk2 camber kit and put on new yokohoma AVS ES100 tires...when i take a high speed corner or hit dips in the road my driver's side tire rubs on the fender edge... i thought it was too low at first, so i raised it up a bit..but the car is definitely higher than last year when i had no problems...and i can see that the driver's side wheel is actually pushed out a little further than the passenger side...my guess is that the camber kit is responsible for this...anyone else ever have this problem before? or know how to fix it?
a better way to explain this is if i take a ruler and measure out from the top of the tire to the fender...there is no space on the driver's side....but on the passenger side, there is space for the tire to tuck in smoothly

Yes sir. You definately need to have the camber set back to spec if you're going to bother with the camber kit.

thanks for the input
but i did have it aligned after i installed the camber kit...probably not the brightest move, but i had sears do it cause it was the only place open on a saturday afternoon...i cant find the printout that they gave me with the alignment specs, but they adjusted the camber within the acceptable range

Re: (rydnby 4)
Simple sears set your camber at zero pushing your wheels out further then what they should be. Set it at -2 and you will be fine. My rear tires will rub if I have them at 0. At -2.4 I don't have any problems.
