I definitely need a camber kit. I have a 1992 Acura Integra w/ Eibach sportlines (lowered 1 1/2 in the front and 1 3/4 in the rear) and KYB GR2s on all fours. I decided not to get a good performance tire until I get my tire wear correct. Someone told me on here already that you can not make significant adjustments with a camber kit on a 90-93 Integra because the wheel well is too small. That has to be bullshit!!! I just put brand new tires on to see what they would wear like and they are already showing cords on the inside... 3000 miles later. That is uncalled for and I know that it has too much negative camber just by looking at the front tires and how they sit in. I know the rear camber is not so bad but I need a front kit. I need to know which kits you guys have or which ones not to get so I can buy tires and have them for at least 10,000 miles. My front-end is completly tight and didn't really do this until it was lowered. Please help me

 

does anyone on here have a g2 Integra w/ a camber kit installed? If so can you make the proper adjustments needed?

 

wow common misconception... out of spec TOE wears tires. but ricers think it's camber... go get an alignment as toe is adjustable on hondas. i bet that will fix your tire wear issues. camber tire wear is minimal.. with excessive neg camber only thing you gotta watch for is reduced traction for acceleration and braking.

 

Really? I hope that does the trick. I'll take it to my brothers shop and align it. I guess it is a misconception because when you look at the front of the car, the tires sit inwards like its a camber problem. I had someone else tell me it was just a basic alignment problem but he doesn't understand that lowering the car adds negative camber to the wheels. Now I don't just piddle around in this car, I fling in this car, especially through corners. I don't know if that makes a difference or not but I basically road race this car.

 

if you have out of spec toe along with neg camber you will wear the insides pretty quick...

because of neg camber the inside of the tire has more weight on it, now what out of spec toe does is cause the tire to DRAG not ROLL, so the WHOLE tire is draggin. but the inside of the tire has more weight on it so it wears the fastest. if you have buttloads of neg camber and 0 toe like ti should be you will only notice minimal wear on the inside of the tires.

 

thats what I was thinking because my 86' Prelude was lowered 2.5 in. and it only had minimal wear like you said. I think I also read somewhere that auto-crossers and road racer like negative camber. Me and my dad measured it a little bit ago and it is about 3/4 of an in. out. thanks for all the help man

 

ok. negative camber is when the top of the tire leans in to the car. what this does is angle the bottom of the tire so that when you take a turn the whole car tilts and the outside tire then lays flat on the pavement giving you more traction in turns... the right amount of camber is a trial and error to your set-up as some set ups will caus ehte car to tilt more than others.

 

cougar10ag is right, I bet you could fix all of your tire wear problems by getting a wheel alignment. Your toe settings are probably out which will cause tire wear. You will definately have some negative camber because your car is lowered but it won't be too bad since it isn't that low, a lot of people go lower than that with no camber kit

 

I think I'm one of the best examples that camber doesn't wear tires, toe does.

<-- 28K miles on current tires, dropped 3" w/ -2.5 camber in front.

holler... i just got a camber kit cuz i don't wanna drop that much but i have a feeling i'm gonna want more neg camber.

see the thing with neg camber, is that the tire is still ROLLING, so wear is minimal. all you gotta do is rotate normally.. now with toe, the tire tends to DRAG, so this accelerates wear across the whole tire. i acually am due for an alignment.

i feel like i'm repeating myself so forgive me. i'm just thinking of better ways to explain it to those who prolly still don't understand.
