just making an informal poll.

i want to know what your camber is measured at. either with a portable bubble guage or full alignment. and i want to know how much youre lowered. just give me whatever estimate (inches, fingers, rocker height, fender to hub...whatever). its all relative anyway.

pics and alignment printouts appreciated. but not necessary.

Was previously lowered to flushed tires front and back on my 00 GSR, ended up with -2.4*/-1.6* front/rear, with an Ingalls UCA bushing camber kit maxed out adding more negative camber.

Currently, 6" ground to front side jack points, or aprox 2 finger front gap, rear slightly higher, -4.0*/-1.2* with SPC UCAs up front and no rear camber correction. I asked the tech for -3.2* in the front, but, um, yeah. Never get Sears to align your car.

Or are you only asking people who do not have camber adjusters installed?

 

camber kit or not.

do you know where your camber would be without a camber kit?

the fact that you have to adjust your camber to get 4* is enough information actually.

 

well, i went through the process of typing out my whole setup, and then realized I couldn't find my printout from my last alignment.

if I find it, i'll post it up.

 

Lowered to about 2.5 fingers width, alignment I got a week or so ago was around (-1) front and rear. I'll get pictures and printouts up tomorrow.

 

I'm curious as to why you want to know this?

 

FL: -2.1, FR: -2.1, RL: -2.8, RR: -3.2, 1999 Civic hatchback, H&R sport springs, Koni Yellows (front on top-most circlip groove, rear on bottom-most circlip groove), no fenger gap front, ~1cm fender gap in the rear

thanks ekk

 

-1993 Civic DX Coupe
-Neuspeed Sports and Koni Yellows w. 17" wheels
-1 finger gap front (on top-most spring perch), 2 finger gaps rear (on middle spring perch)
-b18b with extras in the engine bay, so that could explain why it's much lower in the front
-Ingalls UCA (not the ball joint one) camber kit up front, 3 washers shimmed under each bolt in the rear
-FL: 0.18*, FR: -0.45*
-RL: 0.03*, RR: -0.21

I just asked for everything to be aligned to specs, so I'm not sure why the right side has a lower camber (larger neg. camber) since the right side is naturally higher up to compensate for road curvatures. Anyone care to enlighten me and explain?

 

DC chassis. With 225/50/15's on the car I have about 4.5" of right hight (about 1.5" of travel at the shock). toe is set to 0 all the way around. Front camber is set at (most of the time) -4.2 and rear is set at -3.5.

hey, youre gonna have to translate that ride height from H4 speak, to DD speak. is that no finger gap on a DC chassis? and what camber kits are you using? (doesnt HC have a ride height minimum also?? or is that just IT?)

 

93 civic cx hb

B series up front

Fl: -.83 camber -.03 toe

FR: -.79 camber -.04 toe

RR: -1.4 camber .03 toe

LR: -1.3 camber .03 toe

Front Ingalls camber kit adjusted all the way out or else I would have more negative camber w/ another setup.

Rear I used shims to get the camber better than the -1.9 on the left that it was @ o.O

Measured from ground to middle of fender

FR height: 22 13/16"
FL height: 22 3/4"
LR height: 23 3/16"
RR height: 23 1/4"

Any clarifications or something you would like added?

Pete

 

actually lets just go with finger gaps as standard. im not looking for anything precise.

Who's fingers? I can get my 3 year-old to check how low I am later Why not ask for middle of hub to top of fender arch, that way finger width, and tire size don't skew the results.

 

i know, but i dont care to be too accurate for the sake of this poll.

"fingers" is a visual indication we can all sort of relate. i cant visualize 25.3" for each car.

but like i said, feel free to embellish. give me both if you want.

 

This is on my old GC's, I had about -2.75* at this height, no camber correction. 205/45-16 tires on 16x7 wheels.

So that's pretty much 0 gap. Not really tucking, just top of tire even with top of fender lip.

 

1993 acura integra

.5 finger gap front/Rear

Buddyclub rsd coilovers for dc2-r
Itr front fork/ITR rear LCA
205/50/16
16x7

-2.8 both fronts
-1.7 both rears

Will however be going with
-2.5 front
-1.5 rear

in favor of more caster(going to use accord rods)

whats special about the itr fork and control arm??

 

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Tyson &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">whats special about the itr fork and control arm??</TD></TR></TABLE>
i should put just eg.dc fork tho
just saying cuz its differnt from stock DA LCA
itr lca are needed for the isntall

 

wait sec. i totally missed that. you have a DA, how can you install a DC LCA??? what about the radius rod?

the LCA is not needed to use the later EG/DC fork.

i used dc/eg front forks
i used Rear itr lca to mount the shock(since it is not like the upsidedown U shock

i think i wasnt clear on what i typed sorry
edited it

About 2.5 fingers gap at this point. Alightment was all right around -1* (can't find the sheet at the moment, when I do I'll post it exactly).

Car is '93 Civic DX HB (EH2), full DC2 suspension conversion (brakes, upper & lower arms, links, trailing arm, etc), GC/Koni (425F/350R), 15x6 LS mesh with 195/50/15, ITR sways front and rear, ASR, and no camber correction at this point.

Anything else?

_maybe 1 finger front and rear
skunk2/kyb.adj.--16x7 195/50[stretched dunlops]


its stiff i got every strut bar in it[ if you live in FLA. i got them from the drivers seat in stuart] top and bottom front and rear.

-the camber is negitive front and rear it works well for where im staying now [alot of winding roads]the tires wear well. when i was in lake worth all the straight line driving gave me bad camber ware -i had to flip my tires when i go back im getting an INGALLS kit for the front </TD></TR></TABLE>

uh, this thread is for ppl who KNOW their camber.

get an alignment done and tell us what you have then.

 

90 CRX Si. Koni sport/GC sleeves. About a finger and a half in front, 2 fingers in the rear. -2.7/-2.5 front, -1.5/-1.5 rear . no kits whatsoever

 

I'll grab a printout the next time I have an alignment done. I can't believe I never have before.
