My suspension is Balloxed :(
I bought H&R sportline springs for my DC4 1.75" drop front and 1.5" in rear.
Now ive been told by some that I dont need a camber kit and from eyeballing the camber it looks fine.
Ive been driving it for about a month and a half without alignment, Im getting some camber wear on the inner of my tires.
So i go down to the alignment shop (firestone) and they have some special "lifetime alignment" its like 130 bux, I pry the guy and find out the only adjustment that they can make is for Toe because from the factory there is no camber adjustment. he said even if I got like the OMNIPOWER style UCA they wouldnt adjust it.
Anyway he said if I bought like a CAM BOLT type camber kit that they would adjust that. I looked around and found that people have trouble with the aftermarket UCA's and they are expensive. I dont want my wheel to come off doing 110 on a corner so Im in a bit of a pinch... Do I buy new UCA's for the front or what?
I was going to try and use the "Washer" technique for the rear of the car since it seems to be the most cost effective and safe system. but then the front will be out of whack.
Im a noob to the Import scene But I put on my own drop springs and shocks and I do all my own work I just know NOTHING about honda suspension.
Any ideas or suggestions from someone who has done this before me would be GREAT
Other option is get NEW UCA and pay les schwabb 75 bux everytime I want alignment.
Or just say F-Teh Camber and just adjust toe and HOPE my tires dont wear out on the inside like a lot of DROPPED hondas do,
Thanks

yes, thats accurate and that is what is expected of an alignment, toe adjustment and that is the only thing you need to worrry yourself over quite frankly.
dont worry about camber. get your toe set properly and you wont burn through tires. if your caster is off, then that can be fixed, but its most likely fine.
