syclone may not post much here, relatively new, but i assure u he's the MAN. he knows his crap, he has helped me so many times.

 

0 front toe +/- 1/16", rear 1/16" toe in +/- 1/16"
the rear toe in is to cause some drag making the car more stable, but the accord has so much understeer to begin with that setting to 0 will help with tire wear and very slight improvement on reducing understeer.

camber specs are 0 in the front +/- 1 degree, and -0.5 degrees +/- 1 in the rear.. once again, the rear has the half a degree for safety.. it's a family car so it's meant to go straight most of the time.. for those who drive 'sporty', and want to keep the alignment relatively safe for tires.. you can run -1 in the front while maintaining the -0.5 in the rear.

caster is about 2.5 degrees.. it uses shims for adjustment, but the minimal adjustment that can be done on it, it's not really worth messing with.
thanks for the support..

 

Nope, the 15s were new, replaced after the accident. The guy at NTB actually said my 17s sat better with my lowered suspension.

I do have this strange feeling that I am rubbing a bit, I havent heard anything but I may be feeling some rubbing. Is there anyway to tell other than feeling around the tirewell?

 

this info changes several things.. you'll need to check if the frame is straight, your rear thrust angle is straight, caster being correct specs... then you can do your front alignment.. your front alignment should be done after the rear is set for that reason..

once your car is in an accident, especially 11k worth of damage, it's quite possible that your suspension geometry has changed causing the abnormal wear..

 

When I'm in Maryland in a week or so, I'll have the body shop that put my car together check the frame. I hope there isn't any damage there.

As I mentioned, the camber/caster/toe appreared perfect. With the accident, they had to repair the fame a bit all the way to the back seats (The drunk took off the rear of the car).

Oh well, I'm driving to Montreal tomorrow, hope I don't have any problems.

 

Is having the rear toe set to 0 always a good idea? I'm in need of another alignment(my car is dropped 1.75 front/1.5 back)

 

for accords, yes.. but this doesn't pertain to all vehicles.. i have the s2000 rear set to 1/4" toe in because it's very twitchy on hard cornering.. i set my friend's m3 to 1/8" toe in.. for most rwd cars, 0 toe in the rear isn't the best idea..

i actually have my accord set at 1/16" toe out in the rear to help with rotation.. but for best tire wear, 0 is good..
