Default skunk2 camber kit question

Just installed a skunk2 camber kit on a 99 si.

Im dropped on sportlines and koni yellows on factory height setting.

i adjusted the ball joint about 1cm from the outside and I still see a tad bit of negative camber. Should I go all the way back? Or is it too much? Is it possible to have 0°?

Keep some negative camber. Get your car aligned now.

There's no real way to tell what the camber is actually at until you get that car on an alignment rack.

Also let's not forget that messing with camber can have a dramatic effect opn toe as well.

Please for your sake take it to an experienced alignment shop that has laser beam heads ( like my shop does y0!) and have them align the car for you.

While it might seem fun to mess with the camber, your tires might not forgive you after you begin to wear the hell out of them for ruining the toe settings in the process of playing with the camber.

By the way, 0 camber sucks.

You want more like -1 degree of negative camber.

Honda allows a full negative one degree of camber up front and a whole negative TWO degrees in the rear.

I do alignments on Hondas by the way.
