hey--

i have been looking into camber kits on groupbuy and ebay, i hear the ones on ebay work just as well... anyway i have negative camber..... about -1.5 to -2 on all four tires..... anyways all i see is this 3/4s to 2" stuff? is that positive? negative? or both ?... i dont know what that means? wheres there a camber kit for negatives? i need atleast -2

 

usually, when they advertise the degrees, it will be +/-. try to get your hands on a quality kit though (ingalls, etc) you wouldn't want something so important to fail on you.

for the rears, u could try the washer method instead of buying a kit. u just have to buy some washers and a longer bolt. i'm not sure on exactly how to do it, but if you run a search i bet you'll find it on here.

 

If the camber kit says it has 2 degrees of adjustment it usually means it will add up to 2 more degrees positive. Sometimes they'll say they might say 2degrees positive and 1/4 degree negative adjustment, usually they don't give you much more negative for an adjustment because on honda's you always have too much negative. I don't know why you want your camber so far negative. -1 degree is the much you should have. I have -1.5 and it's cutting half my tire life away with 2 you'll get maybe 15,000 miles out of your tires.

 

hmm ok maybe you can further explain this to me....

i dont want any camber, i want to get back to 0...... right now i beleive i was at -1.7 on all sides..... so i can get away with this? cause i got some people telling me i wont last 3 months on my tires

 

Well, the specs on the 6th gen Accord are 0 for front, and -0 degrees and 30 radians for the rear. (Basically less than -1 degree in rear). But both are considered within the appropriate specs as long as they are +/- 1 degree within the standard. So 1.7 isn't off all that much.

Make sure your toe-in is correct. That will eat your tires faster than 1.7 negative camber.

I have uncorrected negative camber, and I'm going on about 18-20K miles on my 18's. I don't know my degrees in camber, but you can see it with the naked eye that's more negative than before the drop 2 years ago.

Hope that helps a little.

 

hey,

thanks a lot for the help i appreciate it

 

Also one more thing to help prevent tire wear is rotate your tires every oil change. the more you rotate them the less of a chance you give them for wearing a pattern. It's like new shoes if you walk on the sides of your feet eventually you'll wear them out and be leaning more towards the wear on that side and walking funny, if that makes any sense
