Default Alignment Done Today.. Before and After Settings.

Lowered on:

- H&R Sport Springs
- Koni Yellow Sport Shocks.

Before Alignment (All in degrees):

Front Wheels:

Left Front Camber: -1.69
Right Front Camber: -1.74
Left Front Toe: -0.13
Right Front Toe: 0.06

Rear Wheels:

Left Rear Camber: -1.07
Right Rear Camber: -1.12
Left Rear Toe: 0.43
Right Rear Toe: 0.06


After Alignment Done(All in degrees):

Front Wheels:

Left Front Camber: -1.69
Right Front Camber: -1.74
Left Front Toe: 0.01
Right Front Toe: 0.01

Rear Wheels:

Left Rear Camber: -1.27
Right Rear Camber: -1.13
Left Rear Toe: 0.09
Right Rear Toe: 0.09

In conclusion, my toe settings were off before alignment and were reset to zero. The rear camber is well within spec (Honda Rear Camber Spec is -2.00 Degrees)
The rear camber did not need shims to correct the camber, as it was well within spec.

The Front camber should be -1.17 degrees from Honda factory spec. As you can see, I'm running about -1.7 degrees of camber in the front.

So for anyone who asks, do I need a camber kit with H&R Sports, I would say no. My camber is not off by much and won't adversely affect tire wear to that much of an extent. Car drives straight and I'm happy.

Nice to see people have factual data to back up their findings.

OK.

I was just curious as to what everyone thinks on the settings.

I'm not too knowledgable about alignments, so I have a few Q's... Why don't the left and right have the same camber? And how were they able to adjust the camber on the rear? I thought our camber wasn't adjustable unless you had a camber kit.

The weight distribution on the car is not 50/50 on either side thus, one side will be heaver and cause a bit more camber.

The rear camber was not adjusted, but the rear toe was adjusted and I guess toe affects camber as well.

You can adjust the rear camber with washers, which is cheap and effective.
