Default camber kit

hello, i recently got my spec prod offset ball joint type camber kit installed on my car and got it lined up, but now the nut about the a arm is slapping the inner fender with teh least little bump. i really like how it looks where it is setting, but should i raise it? i looked under the car and the nut is wearing a dent where it is hitting, so, i was wondering if it will eventually fix itself by banging a dent or hole in the inn\er fender without hurting my suspension, or should i raise the car a little. oh yea, i am on graoundcontrols with kyb agx

let the control arm keep hitting the inner fender and it will eventually dent the inner fender in and it will go away. it took mine like 2 weeks. just go find big bumps and it will go away quicker. it will be fine

know what youre talking about before you call my comment stupid advice. i dont know what i'm doin. i've only installed both my front and rear kits and kits on 3 other cars. i hate when people dont know **** so they TRY to pick on people that know what theyre talkin about

when honda puts the control arm there they dont expect it to have a camber kit on it and be adjusted out so they put the inner fender about 1/4 inch away from the control arm so when you adjust it out the control arm hits it. you can either beat the inner fender in with a hammer or let it just beat itself out. if you dont wanna do it then live with buying new tires every 3 months

well first of all i DO know what i'm talking about slappy. you're the one who needs to know what he's talking about. I lowered my car myself. neuspeed race drop w/camber kits on my 5th gen and not once has the control arm hit or banged on the inner fender well on my car or any of my buddies cars that i've done.

the suspension is different on 6th gen accords. this guy has a 92 wagon(hence the name 92 wagon). as far as the springs and control arms are concerned the suspension is identical on 4th and 5th gens, but for the 6th gen it was changed. just because you had problems with your 6th gen and you fixed it the ghetto way does NOT mean it's the correct way.

so, 92 wagon, what drop and what camber kits you running?

ok... how low are the GC's adjusted to? how much drop are we talking here?

not too familiar with your particular type of camber kit. most people use the pivot mount type kit on 90-97 accords.

that is what i have and i never had any problems with the control arm hitting the fender well.
