I have my first track day coming up in September and I was wondering what camber settings I'm looking for. I have a '93 civic coupe. Thanks.

If it's your first track day, forget the car because it isn't going to matter. Just pay attention to your instructor and watch for flags, traffic, hand signals, lines, braking points, etc. All of that is WAY more important, and if you're too busy screwing with the car, it will go right over your head.

Just take note of your inputs and the car's behavior on track, and check your tire wear after sessions. Make some notes and ask about alignment settings after the event.

Besides, we need a lot more information to get you in the ballpark anyway.

 

Hey thanks for the response. I agree with you about not screwing with the car, and I haven't riced out anything- all stock. But my alignment now is way off- car doesn't track straight and I don't want to wear my new tires. So while there I might as well specify my settings so I don't get positive camber and I don't trust the factory settings.

 

In that case, have the alignment shop set the toe to exactly 0.00 degrees at both front corners, and very slight toe-in at the rear (nothing excessive; stay close to the center of the factory spec tolerance range). This will net you minimal tire wear and keep the car stable.

Camber is not independently adjustable on a double wishbone Honda without an aftermarket adjustment kit, so there's nothing much you can do with it.
