I run a shop that has an alignment machine and I've done countless alignments on 92-95 Civics - lowered, stock ride height, etc.

On my 1992 Cx hatch I personally run -1.7 degrees of camber up front and about -1 in the rear because I find myself wearing my OUTSIDE dges out because I drive my car hard in corners and have auto-X'd it off and on for the past 3-4 years.

-1.7 might be a bit much for people who don't do much hard cornering, and I know for a fact it has a negative effect on my straight line acceleration because I'm not getting as much contact patch up front so the wheels spin more.

On customers' cars I usually set them up -1 camber up front, -.5 camber in the rear, and 0 toe up front with .08 toe in the rear. If they do not have a camber kit then I set the toe all around and tell them they need a camber kit if their front camber exceeds -1.8 degrees or so.

Toe wears tires worse than bad camber alone, but if the toe is out AND you've got negative camber you can rape a set of tires very quickly.

A few questions for you:

What kind of springs/struts do you have?

Do you have a camber kit?

What size wheels/tires ar you running?

Well the good news is that you've got all the adjustability needed to have an excellent alignment - street-wise or track-wise.

Now the hard part is finding an alignment shop that not only knows how to adjust the settings, but can also set them where they need to be.

What will the car be used for?
