i am taking my 92 civic cx into an alignment place tommorow and need some information... the hatch is currently resting on skunk2 pro-s coilovers on all four corners along with S2 fully adj. camber kits F+R. ......

 

stock settings should be a-ok

 

Just get your Toe to be closest to OEM-spec.

 

stock? lol i was planning on having a more severe camber angle and playing zeroing out the toe.....

That's what the camber kit is for.

 

If you are planning on having some random shop play with your camber kit, man, you better pray they know what they are doing. Try to find a shop that works on performance cars and does performance alignments. Just because they zero toe on Mommy's Camry doesn't mean they know how to dial in a good street set-up.

yeah i am taking it to a shop that my bud with an nsx goes when he tweaks his suspension for autox....

i am just looking for specs nothing special guys.... or if someone has an alignment printout of ideal settings for a car....... or atleast, how much camber angle in the font should i have?... how about rear? etc.... if nobody has experience with this the its cool.

 

Do a search. It has been covered many many times. Search for "Camber settings" or "alignment settings"

good idea. but then why did you buy the camber kit? Return that. You dont need it. Unless you're doing burn outs, you wont see much camber wear. You might see a tiny little bit if you're just driving with little or no hard turning. But camber is not a big wear angle.

Anyway, it all depends on your suspension setup and what you want to do with the car, so it's an impossible question to answer. But i can approximate:

Camber: either leave it alone to whatever it comes out to being when you lower it....or set the front camber around -2 or -2.5 degrees. Rear camber about the same. That should set up a good daily driver camber angle.

Caster: no option but to leave it alone

Toe: factory

 

If you're planning on just rocking a severe negative camber angle, you better be a baller or be content to put **** tires on your car every six months. Camber can really f-up your tires as well as make your car handle unexpectedly on the streets. Granted you won't be pulling any FandTF bullshit (I hope), so the handling issue shouldn't be a big deal.

You should leave the kit on, have a reputable shop align it for you, and tell them to put it to the factory settings. You'll enjoy proper tire wear and your car will handle like it's supposed to.

well...you gotta define "severe" though. Severe as in 6 degrees negative? that will wear tires. 2-3 degrees negative wont. A GSR's STOCK settings allow for -2 degrees of camber. Meaning 2 degrees is fine even at a factory level....but it's on the high end of acceptable.
