i installed the agx and h&r on my 96 accord sedan, and i got an alignment. basically i told the guy to set zero toes. but he insist not to do what i was telling him. so here is the printout of the alignment. so my questions are:
1. is it good for the tires if the toes aren't zero?( currently i have stock front & 17" rear)
2. im going to switch front rims back to 17s. Do I need another alignment after i put them on?

 

1. They don't have to be set completely to zero, and they are close enough, only of by 3 hundredths of a degree at the most. What you should be more worried about is the total toe which is set closer to zero than before. Also notice your thrust angle, which is also closer to zero.

Im no genius, I'd suggest you take this to Wheel and Tire forum, they can help you figure it out.

 

thx man, ill try to post this in wheel and tire section and see what ppl say about it. thanks again

 

the caster in the frt is slightly out of specs,, too negative

the camber in the rear is out of specs , will cause tire wear..

 

what spec should i set the caster to? and for the camber.. i think it is fine as long as the toes are close to zero?

caster should be set within the specs -1.0 to 1.0 you are at - 1.1 like i said slightly out of specs but not too severe,, you want to set caster as close to even at both sides ,,but within the specs, ,,,
as for the camber it is too negative you will wear the tires on the inside threads, . add a shim or 2 on the upper control arm bolts to give it more positive camber .read this ..

if you're running larger than stock tires and lowered, if im not mistaken, rear camber needs to be -1 to -1.5 and front needs to be closer to zero on the negative side. I could be mistaken, but that is how my car is setup right now and how a number of people recommended that it be.

 

so ima have to do alignment again?? i dont want to go back to the same place anymore. they are ********

 

i suggest you PM George Knighton (although he hangs around accord forum a lil) or old man neri or nsxstasy, they know alot about suspension/wheel/tire and helped me.

 

thanks
