Default I'm an anal bastard :) Yes stiill Civic related.

For those who don't know I'm your crazy autocrosser who's been doing this for about 6-7 years. THis year finally had the camber kit and bushings put in. Had the car corner weighed, aligned and such. Got everything within 50/50 cross weight and camber was 2.5 negative front and 1.8 rear, toe at 0 front and rear. Got this done in March.

Car was too low so I raise it up about .25" of course throwing off everything. Got it redone in April.

Car was still too low so raised it up about .25". And of course had it redone in May.

Today I wasn't feeling how the car was handling - always spinning on left hand turns really fast! So we re did the suspension again today.

Now the car feels really solid and I am looking forward to testing it out on Sunday

I dont do autocross but when it comes to me and the pack I run with, our favorite place to be is in the twisties on those deserted backroads.

Well I went with 2.5 negative front camber and 1.8 rear and 0 toe front and rear.

Then tried 3.0 negative front camber and stuck with 1.8 still 0 toe.

Now I'm back to 2.5 negative front and 1.8 rear with a little toe out front and 0 toe rear.
