Default ef civic wagon, what else can i do to get more camber?

hey guys i just did my alignment.

after my alignment specialist did the alignment he had to raise my car a bit more than i would like to, to make sure i dont wear out my tires too much. the reason is because my camber kit could not be corrected further than what i wanted.
ultimately i want to drop it another half an inch in the front only, but it will add to much camber and will wear out my tires prematurly per my alignment guy.

so is there anything else i can do to get more correction?

the kit i have now is the skunk2 pro kit for the civic ef. and it is maxed out.

my thought was, could i use like ingalls kit and add it to the skunk2?

are there any other options?

a little front toe out (1/16" total) and it doesnt matter what your camber is.

toe wears tires, not camber.

and yes, i disagree with your alignment guy.

post your numbers.

This.

A little negative camber won't hurt you. However, if you couple that with some toe out, say goodbye to the inside of your tires.

Straighten the toe and let the camber be.

Op, what were the actual settings you left with?

If it's -4deg up front, thennid be inclined to fix it.

If it's -2.5, I would leave happy.

i told him that i do highway driving and need the tires to last. which is the main goal.

so he raised it a bit to cover my request. i would have liked to see it lowered a bit more. its just a preference for me to see it have lowered a bit more.

the back is a NO issue, its only the front.

the front is at -1.5 , if i remember correctly.

sure, you can continue to **** up your suspension with ingalls eccentric bushings.

youll end up hitting the inner wheel frame, as you push your arm out further, and completely limiting your suspension travel.


but go ahead, 0 camber is teh best.

Use cam bolts in conjunction with the arms? You'll have adjustment at the actual hinge combined with adjustment at the ball joint.
