After about a month's worth of work , got it back rolling again
Brought it to my friend to have it aligned
The rears are set to dead "0" for toe and camber, everything is good there. However, the prelude control arms cause a slight issue. I took the time to do a little homework on the control arm builds here, the overall spacing required is just about 0.355" - 0.360", allows the control arm to bolt right up using the accord pin and prelude mounts. According to the how-to the spacers should be toward the firewall, this may not be entirely correct but may as well be used as a starting point. My friend and I aligned the front both with the stock accord arms and with the prelude arms, curious how off the alignment would have been without camber correction. With the accord arms the castor was within spec, however the prelude arms do play a bit with the castor as you increase / decrease the camber. I took frame and wheel house measurements and all were in spec before my friend and I even thought about moving the tq rods. Seems like the prelude arms require a little bit of fine tuning to get the thrust angle and castor better. I'll have to mess with that when he gets back from vacation in a week.
