What has more adjustment? Prelude arms or Buy Camber Kit?

[jigga225]

whassup all I have a question.


I got my accord sittin on them rims, bout a lil less than a 2 finger gap.
I got the prelude arms, I routed the slots out as far as they'll go.

But I look under my car and the inside of my Tires are wearing.
DAMN these tires were like 138 each I aint tryin to break bread if I dont have to on more rubber.
My last alignment (bout 2 mos ago) said I had -.8 on one side and -.9 on the other.

So My Q is to those of you who bought camber kits, how good is your camber, is it close to 0 degrees or what?
thanks

I asked him to jigga to post this question because I do not know the answer. So if you know the answer, please reply.

It goes to +1.5, so that should solve your problem.

That's +1.5 from stock though. He needs about a degree more than the max of the Prelude arms. That will probably be more than +1.5 from stock offered by the kit. I bet the Prelude arms have more that +.6 so the difference between the two is likely to be less than the +.9 he needs.

my peops welds for exxon.... mabe I can ask him to make a little pieve that will go on the end of the prelude armm and allow the second slot to come out of the existing arm.... bcuz i've modified the SLOTS so theat the bolt is already half off the slot...

I'm not sure if that would be strong enough. The prelude arm has those beds that mak it stronger. I doubt a flat piece welded on would be safe.

So what ya'll are saying is that w/ the prelude arms my camber will never be correct? I haven't gotten a alignment yet so i don't know how much they're off.

[AZmike]

Lengthening the prelude arms would work if you made sure they were strong enough. Just welding on an extra flimsy piece of steel wouldn't cut it. You might be able to find a welding shop that wouldn't charge too much to build something sturdy once you explain what you want. Maybe get an extra set of Prelude arms to work on until you have something that will be safe.

[jigga225]

chrome thangs: for the prelude arms, you may be straight cause your drop is 2.25 inches, my car's lower than that thas why I'm havein problems, too low for lude arms to fix.


89LXi : thas what I was sayin, my pops welds for exxon refinery, I could just explain to him what I wanted, and let him take them to work and do his thing. I'm sure he would make it strong enough ya know.

[AZmike]

Sounds good then. I just thought that you were planning to weld on a flat piece of steel to the end of the arm.

I'm lowered about 2" or so and my camber is the exact same as jigga except i'll still have more adjustment left on the lude arms.
I'm suprised there not doin the job for ya ?
My question is how in the hell would those ingal camber kits adjust the camber, there just the bolt for the arm to sit on and they don't look like the sit back any further and the sure as hell aren't adjustable ! I don't get it, its a scam

[anchovies]

Looking at the ingalls pic, the flange for the bolt allows the flange to move in or out. Just like the prelude arms having the adjustment at the ball joint part, this one has it at the other end or the arm.
