    prelude upper control arm camber solution

    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

    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!

    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!

    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.
