i just installed my new coilovers and i'm taking my car for an alignment tomorrow. I want to run somewhat aggresive camber but not too much where my tires will bald in two months. Anyone have some specs i could run? thanks

 

If I knew what car you needed them for I can easily get them for you.

 

how about a 93 prelude Si, got the camber specs for that?

 

I don't mean to steal the thread, but I have a 89 CRX lowered with Neuspeed sports, Tokico blues in front, and camber kit front and rear. The front bounces, so I don't think the suspension has enough room to move. How much negative camber can I run without wearing out my tires? Thanks.

Camber Angle:
Front: 0º00' ± 1º
Rear: -0º45' ± 1º (2WS)
Rear: -0º45' ± 30' (4WS)

Caster Angle
2º40' ±1º

 

If you get the toe set to EXACT factory specs, you can run -2 deg. camber and be fine as long as you rotate the tires frequently. On my last set of tires I got 25K miles while running -2.3 deg. in front and -1.9/-2.1 in back (got 40K total out of the tires).

 

i have a 99 civic si

 

You can run mad camber and have no problems, BUT if you add toe out, which helps turn in, you will start to wear badly. Toe effects tire wear more than camber. When toe out and negative camber are mixed you get really fast tire wear.

I would go a total of 1/16" toe out (for street or light autocross) any more and the car gets twichy on the highway.
Keep the negative camber somewhat low, possibly around -1.5 degrees.

If you go zero toe out you can run more camber without wear.

 

I run 0.3 in the front and 0.5 in the rear on a 98 ex coupe (swaybars,koni yellows, crappy springs, poly bushings) should I tune it out some??
