car is a 2001 integra ls coupe with 195/55/15 enkei rpf1 15x7 35 offset. i have about 1 finger gap front and back and my car rubs on some turns.

i want to add some camber to help with the rubbing and looks. if i add say camber to about -1 to -1.5 in all corners, how will it affect toe...will it be more negative or positive?? i dont want to go to an alignment shop to do it because it cost a lot of money, so i will do it myself only if toe will stay in spec.

 

Toe changes with camber. That is why toe is always adjusted last during an alignment.

Just bite the bullet and get the car aligned after you're completely done screwing with it.

You wouldn't be having this issue if you had skipped the camber kit to begin with...

 

i'm not sure why your camber was so far off from left to right to begin with.

 

Because he has an adjustable camber kit and they weren't set the same to begin with, or the chassis is tweaked. Could be either or both (quite likely).

If you add negative camber up front, the tires will toe in (positive toe). I want to say the rear will toe out more (negative toe) with increased negative camber, but I'm not sure on that one.

So yes, you absolutely would need an alignment... preferably you need to get both camber and toe dialed in while on the alignment rack.

 

the before camber measurement was on stock camber kit...dont know why its so off from left to the right. And im not sure why toe is so horrible off too, because before this "before" measurement, i had the alignment shop set toe to 0 at all corners. the before alignment and current were done at different alignment shops.

i have skunk2 pro series and spc rear camber kit for this "current" alignment.

should i just deal with the rubbing until these tires are worn? they will probably be worn in another 30-40k miles since it seems to be wearing super slow and they look new with 12k miles on them.

thanks.

tunernoob...i wish i had decided to buy these wheels before i got this alignment. this alignment was done 2-3 months ago and i bought and mounted the rpf1 2 weeks ago.

 

What bushings do you have? Alignment readings are always going to be slightly different every time you get on the rack. This will be more so the case if the bushings are old and worn.

 

oem bushings, i inspected and they look very good still. 112k miles

 

your toe will need to be corrected for that amount of camber change. its always a good idea to check the toe after any ride height or camber change.

with your cross camber and that many miles, im doubting all your bushings are in good condition.

 

I dont trust those alignment machines farther than I can throw them. Strings and my longacre camber gage FTW!!!

 

ive measured my longacre measurements to a hunter laser system at Firestone and it was within the tolerance of reading a measuring tape.

i trust both.

of course, its not just how sharp the tool is, but the user too.

 

I've often wondered if and how those laser alignment racks are calibrated, or if they need or can be calibrated.

 

okay so i ghetto fixed my rubbing issue. i removed the front top fender liner clip. my car rubs A LOT less now. it only rubs on very hard and fast right turns. im just going to leave my car alone until i need new tires. thanks for all your help
