hi Folks ,

so i have a 98 civic coupe some what low and daily the car now , what are the best ideal alignment specs ?? i also have a camber kit up front and im running 205 45 16 on a 16x7 wheel on Skunk2 coilovers . Would factory specs be the best for this setup? Not really sure what i am looking for just to daily drive the car and not have camber wear

 

The main thing is to have the toe set as close to 0 as possible. Having a little negative camber will not wear your tires out excessively fast. My car has about -2.5 degrees of camber on the front and about -1.9 on the rear and my last set of tires lasted me 2.5 years and around 40,000 miles.

 

there was a thread on this not too long ago. After gathering all the info I figured out to do this:

Front:
-1° camber
0° toe

Rear:
-.5° camber
.02° toe in (high speed stability)

 

Factory alignment specs are probably your best bet. Try not exceed -.5 degrees camber either front or rear. Sometimes this is hard depending on how low your car is. Toe adjustments being wrong are what usually wear tires out the most. Next to driving habits.

 

2 or 3° camber won't really effect tire wear very much however like mentioned too much toe in or out will. I set my cars up with a touch of toe out in the front and a touch of toe in for the rear. i like it at 1/8th out up front and 1/16th in for rear.

 

you dont really need 3° of camber for the steet
