This sucks, I just installed my camber kit - but the alignment place can't do a correction because my fender would be rubbing... anyone have a walk through on how to do the bat trick or whatever it's called? (I searched and found some topics, but none explained how to do the bat trick)

Need to get this done ASAP, don't want to put on a set of new tires and have them wear too!!!

 

did you try searching eg/civic i think they have discussed that more than a few times..

 

There's a good how-to out there. I'll see if I can find it. The bat technique is pretty simple. With the wheel/tire on, jack the car and insert bat. Jack the car down to wedge the bat between the fender and the car, then roll the bat the length of the fender (allowing the tire to turn as well). Depending on how much room you have, this may require jacking the car all the way down to the ground and rolling the whole car forward and backward.

that's seriously not making any sense to me...

from what I understand, I jack up a car enough to fit a bat under there, then I gradually lower it? I don't understand at all
