Loosen the nut at each end and turn the knurled portion, in or out. You can see the camber change. The problem will be getting them equal. I have mine done with an alignment, so that toe is correct. As mentioned through out HT, camber has little affect on wear, but, toe, a lot.

Of course.

Really, you should go get an alignment and tell the tech what you want the rear camber set to, instead of trying to eyeball it.

Why are you trying to add negative camber anyway?

Slammed in front only? Is the back lowered? Coilovers?

You generally will get the camber, negative, as you drew with lowering. Lowering pulls in the top and clears the fenders. What tires, wheels, and offset?

Sounds like you are going to camber in, and then lower more, which will also camber in. Get an alignment, or have the alignment shop do it all, especially toe. Your wheels are wide, and low offset. You probably have negative camber and now want more for the tires and wheels. Your car and choice of course, but, have it done with an alignment.

A bit undersized for an Integra.

I suppose if you're ok with the speedometer and odometer being off it wouldn't be that bad, except it is rather dangerous with such wide wheels...

So, That should go on a rim of about 5.5-7.0" with suggested 6.0" and you are 8". Think it's safe?

uhhh wtf are you on?????.... the camber kit is for CORRECTION( making the tire perpendicular to the ground). not addition for more angle... just let the guy at the shop do it... your not too bright....


Probably drives like Sh*T

Camber adjusters can be used for more or less. For track use, negative camber may need to be increased. Problem here seems to be a style that may not be safe, slammed, or stretched tires, with low offset, and using camber to tuck the tire edge under the rim. The stretched tires do not sound safe. You may find that some alignment shops do not want the liability of helping in this.

All that and stretched tires, does not make it safe because lots of people do it.
