So, it sounds like more attention to proper toe adjustments are more important than actual concern for camber obsessions.

What is the stock camber numbers for a stock Honda?

I think I would be more interested in leaving a little camber IF adjusting out than standing the tire straight up and down for better cornering characteristics.

So, to answer the question as whether you would need a camber kit for going moderate levels, I think you could save your money and place it on another mod.

IMO, it really depends on personal tastes and also how low into the weeds you do go.

This looks good, but might be a little to straight up and down for me,, but then,, I don't know his numbers.


Here's a race car that wants/needs excess camber for optimum cornering characteristics.


And, notice too, that body work, i.e., skirts and flairs will help eat distance between the larger diameter wheels and the ground.


The last thing you want is to add larger wheels, not lower or add body work and end up looking like your buddies F-150. I so so many idiots doing that. Look like they forgot to do their homework on all levels.

Moderate levels - four wheel alignment.
