I just had a question pertaining to my 99 lude, I just bought some d2 racing coilovers and on the sale picture it showed a camber adjustment built in with the top hat, i didn't really think much about it til i got my coilovers and there was no top hat camber adjustment and did some research and finding out that preludes cant use a top hat camber adjustment, anyways now knowing i'd have to spend another $200-400 for camber kits, does anyone know if I'd be able to get away without using any camber kit? Or is it a must? I have a few friends with lowered civic's/integra's who say they never use any camber kits and just get their vehicle aligned and its good to go, how true is when applied to a prelude? Do I need a camber kit to get my vehicle properly aligned without having uneccesary tire wear?

There you go.

 

just make sure you get ur tow adjusted as close to spec as possible

 

And what is to spec? 0?

 

Only up front. Rear is spec'ed at a slight amount of toe in.

The alignment tech will have access to the OEM alignment parameters. Either tell him "OEM toe" or "0 toe", personal choice there.

 

Thanks, I read the thread that trang_man posted, I was wondering if anyone thought I'd have problems with tires wearing on the inside being on 45 series tires? I read that someone said 40series would most likely have inside wear, and also that a 50 series would most likely not, so where does a 45 series land? inside wear or evenly wear? lol

 

I honestly don't know because I'm running on stocks.
But if you search around, I believe you should be in the middle of the two.
but GL

 

I would worry less about the tire aspect ratio, than the total amount of sidewall on the tire. A 205/40-16 has less sidewall than a 225/40-16, for example.

I think not too many people actually understand just how confusingly tires are sized...
millimeters/ratio/inches; Who thought that was a good idea?

I also wouldn't worry unless the alignment shows a very large camber value (high negative reading). No personal experience with lowering a Prelude, but it shouldn't have massive camber without a significant drop.

 

Ya I dont think my suspension can go all that low, I dont even think its able to go down to 3". I think 2.5" is the most, I could be wrong though. Again Its d2 Racing btw.
