So i recently installed H&R sport springs, 16" rota slips on azenis and wanted to make sure i have even tread wear. I've read to zero out toe and having a little camber is fine but mainly toe is the killer for uneven tread wear.

so does this printout look ok to you guys.

you need to make it bigger

 

done

 

looks like nice shop..i never seen those type of print out..lol

 

camber kit

 

you should be fine without a camber kit, as long as the toes stays close to zeroed out. i have about the same numbers as you.

 

yeah thats what i figure..a little camber is good for handling purposes

 

Print out looks good, i've also never seen one of those.

 

i have seen those done here. tire kingdom has those printouts...

 

Your fine, green arrows mean the is going to be almost no wear. Red is bad

 

camber is what wears the tire not caster... the camber is red... ie a need for a camber kit

The Camber in red was before the adjustments. At the bottom of the printout is the camber adjusted. No need for a camber kit

 

you need a little bit of negative camber for good handling. i have a camber kit and i still have about that much negative camber. you should be fine with that alignment. clean teg btw

 

actually mike9571....that red one is the front and the bottom is rear...this is not a before and after reading...its a final reading

 

looks good how much did they charge?

 

Why are you toed out in the rear? With it like that you will wear out the inside edge. I'm not used to looking at a printout from that brand of alignment machine.

 

thats what im a little concerned about, the rears showing up like that but everyone says to zero out toe.....

 

O sorry for giving false info

Same.

 

looks like typical camber wear.. but if toe's closed to 0 your clear nice print out..

 

just because its in the green doesnt mean its automatically good...

whats up with the rear toe looking all messed up but the readings say its perfect?

 

your set-up is fine

camber in the front is a little more than stock, but that's a given if the car's lowered. You'll be fine with that camber.

camber in the rear is damn near perfect for a street driven car

Toe in the front is fine (this is what really affects your treadwear and abnormal wear). having the Toe in the rear set at 0 is usually not normal and is did upon request, specifically to people to bring their FWD cars to the track. It gives the car more of a tendancy to lose the back-end in a hard turn. I set this on my teg b/c i prefer this, but it's usually set with a little toe-in.

the toe is not supposed to be 0, it usually has a little toe-in to stabalize the car

either way i think the overal set-up is fine.

problems occur with camber of more than 2* or excessive or abnormal toe settings.

 

ok so you're telling me when people say zero out toe, its just for the front and not the rear? if this is correct what should i set the rear toe to be? factory settings(in the green area)?

generally speaking, yes. when people mean zero toe-out it's referring to the front. when people want a little more 'fun' in their car they'll go for 0-toe in the rear as well, it helps with turn-in and rotation of a fwd car. Having the toe in the rear set at 0 is fine though, i wouldn't worry about it since you've already had an alignment done, it's really not worth having another one done.

stock settings are between 0.05* and 0.10* (i believe this to be true, but someone can correct me if i'm wrong)

No, go ahead and 0 the rear toe. Honda specified some toe in in the rear, and you're now out of factory spec. You're also not at factory height, no longer have factory spring rates, etc...; so why have a factory alignment? Rear toe in will provide high speed stability, braking stability, and understeer. While the frist 2 are nice, the last isn't, and you'll get longer life from the tires with 0 toe all the way around.
