    Camber Issues....

    What's up all? I haven't been on here in a while because my unit has been in the field...but I am trying to get an adjustable camber kit for my front end. I have the ole 86 Hatch LX-i. The tires on my rims are wearing down way too fast and this is the only way to fix the camber. I am getting ready to get the suspension put on and might as well do this at the same time ya know? So anyone know where I can get this kit or have one they want to get rid of? Thanks

    I am betting you didn't get an alignment after you lowered it b/c the toe being off will wear tires much much faster than the camber being off. If you haven't got an alignment yet get the toe set on the car and after that, unless your dropped over 2.25 inches, your tire wear should be fine. That is unless you have some worn out tie rods or some bent suspension parts.

    No, I haven't lowered it yet, I just ordered my coil overs and shocks alst nihgt. Are you saying that I may not need to get the camber adjustment kit just yet? I should lower it and see how it does from there? Any help would be awesome....

    If its not lowered and youre having tire wear issues then you definately need to get an alignment.

    I was lowered on H&R 1.5" drop for over 6 months and never had any really bad wear issues, and I hadnt even gotten an alignment.

    But if you go too low you will need to address that. My friend just went through pirelli p7000's in under 5000kms because his 03 accord was so low.

    the best thing is prelude control arms. you can find them at junkyards.
    they are adjustible to correct 2"-2.5" drop.


    PS. i hope you matched your springs with your struts.
