D2 Suspension problem -2 toe camber
Recently purchased D2 suspension and re-aligned my car but the guy who was doing the alignment could not get the proper adjustment and indicated that he was get a -2 on the adjustment of the camber which is causing my from wheels to **** at the top. Has anyone had any problems such as this? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated to correct this issue.
Ok I forgot to tell you guys that I did a RSX conversion to 5 lug. But I found out that I needed to buy modified tierod ends that are shorter. Spoke to Todd who is a great guy but he is currently out of stock! Just my luck!
So which is it? -2.0 degrees of camber, or -2.0 degrees of toe?
-2.0 degrees of static front camber is about the bare minimum I'd run for somewhat decent handling with a MacPherson strut chassis. That sounds fine to me. If it were my car, I'd get some camber plates and set it even more negative.
-2.0 toe is a problem; it's going to chew up the inner shoulders of the tires. Set it to dead center of the factory tolerance range for toe ("in spec" isn't good enough; it needs to be exactly centered). I run a hair of toe out (negative toe) in the front of my competition car to improve turn-in, but it does wear the tires unevenly so I don't recommend it for a daily driver. My daily ride has the toe set to the center of the factory tolerance range and any uneven tire wear is mild enough that it doesn't make a difference.

Its a -2 toe problem! The only way that I searched to correct it was to get the shortened tie rod from Tom. He also sells the caster plates
