Default Need Some Alignment Specs / Camber kit Question

I am corner weighting the car this next wekend and then an alighment (much needed). I am unclear about what the best alignment settings will be for an R that is primarily an autox car (not a daily driver).

Car is lowered about 1" on coilovers, 10kf/8kr spring rates, JDM rear sway bar. Running Falken Azenis.

Do I need to get a camber kit to get a better alignment?

I have searced and found this thread:
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=445766 with some good info, but would like more info and recommendations of people that are autoxing their R.

What about these settings?
Front
Toe:
L 0.01
R 0.02
Camber:
L -.09
R -1.4
Caster
L 0.7
R 1.4

Rear
Toe:
L 0.01
R 0.02
Thrust Angle: 0.02
Camber:
L -.09
R -1.1

Have to agree with George a camber kit will probably be needed.

I run -2.0/-1.8 and drive street and Auto-X/Track no problems. If you don't street the car much then I would add a little to the front.

I run 1/8" total toe out in the front and zero toe in the rear. I would run 1/4" totel toe out if I didn't drive the car every day.

Thanks guys. At what point does a camber kit become necessary? Should I get one for the fron and rear?

Can you recommend a good front camber kit?

I'm sure you saw it but take a look at page 2 for pics of the Ingalls pieces.

FYI I will be selling my SPC rear camber adjusters as soon as I remove them from the car. Never seen winter or salt, look brand new $70.00 for the pair, I think wholesale is $110 for both

What about caster?

Anybody have any recommended caster settings? Is caster even adjustable on an R?

It's not adjustable.

You can swap control arms to get more, but the "adjustment" ends there.
