alright i cut my springs on my car the other day now im trying to figure out the camber solutions. I droped the front so its only about 1 finger gap between the fender and tire and the rear is about 2. I had it checked out and they said it was 2 1/2 degrees off on one of the front tires and 2 degrees of on the other. The rear are both one degree off. Im trying to fix the back by spacing it out with washers but for the front i want to know if the prelude upper control arms will be perfect for 2 and 2 1/2 degrees off or will it not be enough or is it to much. After i get it close enough to correct i will take it to get aligned! thanks :cool:

i think prelude will give you 1.5 deg correction, i may be wrong. i know when i droped my car 2" i had ball join on prelude arms all the way out and i had very slight camber problem, may be .5 deg or less.

I dropped my car 2.25 and the prelude arms were able to be adjusted to make my camber right at zero degrees.

how much fender/wheel gap did you have because i have no idea how much mine is lowered. i think it would probblay be around 2.5 but not sure, if it is and the prelude arms set yours perfect then that perfect for me! :cool:

thats one reason why you should NEVER cut your springs.. one side is lower than the other.. thats why the camber is off un equally...

if your a technical kinda guy, you can elongate the holes in the lude arms to fix even 3 inches of drop.. 0 wheel gap and have room to spare

are the prelude arms fully adjustable or are their just 2 settings on them and also is 35$ each used to much for them i think so, but thats how much all the junk yards want for them around here! :cool:

That is way too much. I got them for 15 for both. There is a junkyard around here that has them. I will ask them how much they want. If it is around 20-25 would you want them? Shipping would be about 7-10.
