As in you have got massive -ve camber and want to make it more positive?? Cos I'm going the other way and trying to get a bit more -ve camber. The ingalls set is supposed to be adjustable by -1.5 to +5

not sure at all.. aim is not to crash or be crashed into.. Canberra is different to Sydney of Melbourne tho, less traffic and people drive more... contentiously.

pretty sure if that light is on, you're airbags won't deploy. take it to honda and get them to solve it.

The only thing that that the car can't read is the the weight sensor in the passenger seat, so that airbag will deploy wether someone is sitting in the seat or not.

The whole point of the side airbags is to keep you braced in your seat incase of an accident, but most aftermarket seats provide that snug fit anyway so its not too big of deal imo.

and yeah i saw some of your posts stig LOL.. oh well's they are already in atm. so i might as well leave them..
but im definitely gonna be looking for a solution

yeah its not a big fuss if the airbag light is on or not, its just annoying a red light from a green and blue dash haha
