DA9 Adjustable Camber issue

**tseesinngwailo** · 20-05-2006 10:53 AM

Hi All,

Just lost 2 front tyres due to my car being lowered and the camber is about -3 degrees, the insides of both have worn so much the wire was poking out and luckily deflated AFTER i got off the M2..

What I need to know is where the best place to get adjustable camber kits for the upper wishbones. Skunk ect make some but not for the DA9, i have measured a set of EK ones and the mounting points are a different spacing.

Any ideas as I am about to get 4 new tyres and dont want the same issue again.

Cheers

Chris

Yeah, saw that but i cant find anything on US Ebay that says the Skunk one fit a DA9, and including postage is still around $120 cheaper than this guy, was thinking may still have to buy a set and then get them grafted onto a DA9 set of arms

i'm sure there are other companys that would make them... anyway, goodluck with it

Thanks, maybe will have to get a pair custom made, I can't believe Honda does so many cool engineering things but never thought people might want to lower their cars and would need camber adjustment..

did u ever get a wheel alignment?

my lowered da doesnt wear out tyres too much. I just make sure the toe settings are correct.

Yah, have had alignment front and rear, you can see the tyres dont sit anywhere near flat on the road, thats why I want the adjustment, sure it went round corners and embarressed a few Subarus and the like, but i cant afford to be replacing tyres like this, I was hoping to finish my brake conversion soon, but the money will now be on the camber

get used to it !! hehe i chew tyres like theres no tomorrow

btw if you want a camber kit.. K-MAC has them for about $330 for the front (i think thats installed)

i only have one on the rear..

i need rear ones, mine are out about 3-4 degrees too....how much r camber kits?

**mooshie** · 20-05-2006 04:53 PM

my teg wears out the tyres a lot less since i got the toe adjusted didn't even touch the camber. take it to somewhere that specialises in lowered cars and even race setups, for ages i just took it to bob janes and such and all they do is align it to spec and dont allow for the lowering finally took it to a place that specialises in race cars and bingo there goes my tyre wear problem.

BTW that wear looks like your tyre has been running on too low psi and has chewed through the sidewall my rear had a slow leak once and could not tell it was deflated from the side cos of the camber until i pulled up at the lights once and the back end dropped down as it blew!
