Do I need a camber kit? *pics*
Re: Do I need a camber kit? *pics* (Shakes)
Side angle shots don't help us tell either. We need to see pics of the back of the car to see how the rear wheels are sitting. Same goes for the front wheels.

Really nice looking car you got yourself there the wheel style and finish suits and adds to the good looks.
To your Q it's hard to say by just looking what's needed is a gauge to get the angles the wheels are at in relation to suspension, and if it's going for an alignment they will be able to tell for sure by measuring underneath. How far have you lowered it from stock height. ?

My point was wasted on you. Looking at pictures will not tell you enough. That is why there are the machines. At least you are able to read... Scotts.....

Well why didn't you say that in your post like others did, they already mentioned you can't tell from pictures alone. The point is you didn't make a point at all by just putting "take it for an alignment" as had already been mentioned.
The only point you can seem to make is coming out with half a rascist slur, why not be brave enough and complete it ******, at least you seem to be able to look into members profiles so you might not be as slow as you like to appear ?

Whoa... Calm your kilt, laddy. Which race are you referring to? Scots do not comprise a race in themselves. And keep your homophobia contained.
Lighten up. If you had chosen to just STFU instead of posting commentary about SuperSlow, you might not have gotten your goats all mixed up.
Don't use the race card inappropriately. I was not trying to offend you. Just a bit of mis-placed british self-humor. My sincere apologies.

personally, i think your a moron..you post like 100 pics of your car every other day
you can't really judge alignment by phucking pics. take it to an alignment shop and see what it actually his, then decide...judging cambers by pics = stupidest thing i've ever heard
if your taking it to an alignment shop this weekend why the ***** did you bother asking us? i think it's just another lame excuse to post pics of your car...next week you'll be posting pics asking us if you should wash your car with cold or warm water.

Hey DUDE!! i heard that if you drop it, even though it doesnt seems to camber that bad as you cant really tell. But yea the bad side is that it is possible your tranny might go soon or later. But that's is what i heard only..more like from the mechanic.

Re: Do I need a camber kit? *pics* (Prelude951)
Ok, the best thing to do from YOUR side is to go to the back of the car, sort of kneel a bit about 6' away from the car and carefully look at your rear wheel. If the top is going "in" towards the camber, then you need them, if not then leave it alone.
I know i need it but i lowered too much on my teins ss and this weekend i am doing the maintenance on the coilovers and raise it up a bit because it is a bit too low for safe camber and toe conditions.
As for everyone else that is bashing the purpose of this thread, learn to say something and don't call this guy this or that, if you got beef with someone take it to pm. THANKS.
p.s. nice car, clean and well kept

Personally, I think you're a douche bag.
First off, the only time I post pictures is if someone is asking for Prelude pictures. It's not like I'm browsing on here looking for a chance to post pictures of my car.
Secondly, if camber is bad enough you would easily be able to see it from pictures, which is the reason I posted them in the first place. I don't know how to judge camber myself, which is why I posted them.
And why the **** do you care if I ask, even if I am getting it checked soon? The people at these alignment shops around here aren't always the best at aftermarket parts, and it can't hurt to have a second opinon.
So if you can't help, then don't bother posting. You're a ******* tool for even wasting my time.

Lol Thats not true on this vehicle with stock g-box/axles.
You should invest in a camber kit anyway so everything can be corretly set-up for whatever height.
ps. NightHawke Black Pearlescent = The best color for Ludes, definitely mirror like when polished

well if you know that if its bad enough you can tell from the pics... why didnt you go outside at just look at your car?
anyways, im gonna say you definetly need a camber kit, come on now.
^look at that pic... its so obvious that your camber is WAY off when the entire image is just a pic of your rim. but to be 100% sure about needing a camber kit, maybe you should post a pic of your interior... or maybe the system in the trunk, thats always a sure sign of needing an alignment

perfect you can also stand over the top of your fender and see if the wheels are leaning in.

Re: (xPRELUDEx)
once again your an idiot...you give us a side shot of your car and ask us to judge your camber..just proves my point that your an attention ***** homosexual. you sir are the moron
like i said, if your going for an alignment this weekend why bother asking us?
and you obviously don't know about tire wear. camber gives uneven tire wear, toe eats tires more than camber. so why don't you make another post asking us to judge your toe...

well now, judging how bad the toe is, is a completely different story. we're gonna need an under-the-hood shot as well as a complete list of his mods.
