Thanks

Are you really low ?

Consider the alignment of the wheels too - uneven / out of spec toe will eat tyres quicker than just negative camber alone.

Otherwise pm "EG5" on this forum - for HARDRACE or similar camber kit for the front to even everything up

even though I'm running HR front arms myself. the design is not that great. many hit shock tower if stance life. which it seems this guy is living.

from the information you've provided. it's 100% toe, not camber.

you talk to anyone selling parts and they will tell you you'll need it.

stock arms are optimum camber from factory. only reason you would need adjustable arms if you need pacific camber for pacific reasons. (stancelife, trackwork etc)

How exactly , do YOU think you can find your cars alignment specs ?










Mate pls

If your tyres are too far worn - grab new tyres ( either in a pair or whole set if there is wearing all thru) and get a full proper alignment front and rear. This will give you your spec to analyze and adjust to OEM specs.

27574 got two new front tires already, but I just wanted to fix the cambers so I don't have to change them too early coz of the inside wear, Bridgestone potenzas re002 195/55 15

You can't adjust the stock cambers once there out of place they got be changed

If the car is stock height and running more than 1.5 degrees camber then the upper arm bushings have failed or if camber is around 1 degree the alignment (toe setting) is not right.

Rather than guess, take the car to a suspension specialist and have it inspected and alignment checked with a report.

When Bob Jane did the alignment they spotted it out and said my cambers are gone they couldn't align it this was last year I didn't bother aligning it this year

Look man, i'm just trying to help you (as are the other guys), but if you are just going to believe what a tyre shop told you a year ago then enjoy your tyre wear. And if someone told you that "your cambers are gone" you should find a new mechanic

ibbyDC2R: Take your car to an alignment shop that knows what they are doing, and will provide you with a sheet of paper showing the alignment settings after they have done their work, and ask them to set it to the factory settings. Post that alignment sheet up here. If there is a problem then the members here can advise you on what might be damaged, and you can replace that part with a new OEM part, not some junky adjustable parts that you shouldn't need given you've stated the car is stock ride height.

Right now you're trying to fix a problem that may not exist, based on advice from people that probably can't spell their own names.

Bit of a random read out, but i'm assuming "Track" is "Toe" and -1 is toe out.

If your car is standard height and power i'd be running 0 Toe or maybe 0.5 max. Caster spread is also a bit backwards - does the car pull to the left at all?

Also, is this the after settings? Did you get the before read out?

ibbyDC2R
01-12-2014, 03:10 PM
Nah I didn't get the before read out, it used pull to the left not anymore

ibbyDC2R
01-12-2014, 03:13 PM
Yes this is after settings, I was told if I was running low psi that aswell causes inside tire wear or cornering to hard

I'm looking to drop a couple of inches. If the HR and skunk2 aren't any good, who else makes a decent set?

HR will do the job. just swerve to avoid potholes and big bumps.
inevitably will hit.
Comparing side by side, J's racing is almost identical to oem arm.
Skunk arm looks ok but the bushes are cactus

there is no replacement balljoint part # from honda for dc2r

only the rubber boot which is 51464-S04-013


therefore I'm assuming need to buy whole arm assembly.

1 degree not much.
