My car is lowered about 1.5 inches (according to Eibach).

I just got an alignment so here are my camber readings:
FL: 1.1
FR: 1.3
BL: 1.8
BR: 2.4

The inside edge of my tires definitely wear quicker but my mechanic said that he needed to correct the toe a bit so maybe that was what was causing most of the wear.

Is the difference between the BL and BR make you think something is bent or is this kind of difference normal? What would you do about it?

 

c'mon people

 

your mechanic is right, camber will not eat tires much, toe is very hungry.

most lowered cars camber cannot be adjusted fully with factory adjustments.

there are manufactuers of camber corrections kits, which allow a broader range of adjustment.

also, its LF RF LR RR
R being rear

 

Haha. Thanks. Did you know what I meant?

 

You actually might want a bit more camber on the right side than on the left, because when you sit in the car, it will level them out.

 

dc231 is right. you do want a little bit more camber on the right side. Also, think of camber as wheel tilt. Positive numbers mean the top of the wheel is tilting in, and negative numbers mean that the top of the wheel is tilting out. The numbers you got back look normal. However, when you drop the suspension, you may want to change the camber from stock based on whether you want better handling, or ride quality/tire wear (usually on inside edges.) As with anything there are trade-offs. If you don't intend to do a lot of hard cornering (like SCCA or road racing) I would stay more where you are at. Otherwise, you may wear tires faster, and it won't be as enjoyable to drive. Whatever you decide have fun with it - you can always change it back if you don't like it!

 

But remember the amount of additional camber should depend upon your suspension and how much your body weight will affect how the suspension is set up.

 

I have dropped the suspension. Read the original post. I don't race the car or anything, it's just a daily driver with some fun handling. The suspension is adjusted to be firm, but not racing firm. I'm 185 pounds and I usually do not have a passenger because I drive it to and from work every day and my commute is 50 minutes each way. I don't want to wear my tires too much (but I've read toe does this more than anything) and I want my car to have decent straight-line stability.

From what I've read, a rear sway bar would really help my handling. Any recommendations for brand and mm thickness? I already have a DC Sports front upper strut bar.

 

Oh, and because its a 2000 civic ex coupe I have a stock 22 MM front bar.
