camber specs
On a stock ek what is the camber generally at front & back?
Also, putting neuspeed sports on (1.75F/1.5R drop), how much do u think these will cause the negative camber to increase front & back?
I'm trying to figure out how much the rear will increase so that I know how many washers to use in the rear to get it back to factory camber.
Also trying to see what the front camber will be like so I can decide if i should get a camber kit for the front.
-Thanks

honda's factory camber specs are usually a range of -1.0 to 0.5 degrees or so. the new springs will increase negative camber, by anywhere from .5 a degree to a full degree or so. you won't need a camber kit unless you want to even out the camber F-R, L-R, or INCREASE negative camber for performance purposes. tire wear due to camber is a big bad overhyped boogie man, when in actuality it's more like a menacing picture of a boogie man. lower the car, get it aligned to zero out the toe and your tires should last a long time. as far as the washers go, trial and error is probably the easiest way to get the camber spec you want in the rear. i suggest a lifetime warranty at firestone or goodyear (~150 bucks, lifetime alignments for the life of the car) which will let you do the guesswork without paying through the nose for it.
