my CRX only had camber wear when the toe was fucked up. even with like -2* camber it would wear pretty decently, untll it got some toe, then BAM cambered tired within 3months...

anyway i have seen lots of those camber kits and....have never put one on my car... i mean ----, look at them. it just looks like ---- and/or that they have the possibility of slipping and that would be fucked.

my suggestion:


more info and install of kit on a CRX

i had those on my DB2/GSR and my EH2... i like them... for the rear on my GSR i used washers and longer bolts, on the EH2 i use some SPC upper control arms... but on my CRX i never bothered, i never had a problem. i always got my car alinged and never had issues... i have the above kits cuz they where free

It's easy. Here are some pics from the link...




This shows toe-out. You'll want to adjust to zero toe for max tire wear.

Do NOT do this at all. The way to do it is use jack stands to form the box. And then use the wheel out lip for a measurment. This way that they are showing is a bunch of crap.

Any chance you can give us something a but more concrete and technical in your argument against this method? Not that your statement of "This way that they are showing is a bunch of crap." doesn't cover it, I'd just like to know your reasons why.

the best way is to put the heads on and get a reading.

what u cant see in TT pic is that the string will be on the rear rim/rubber(showing 0 toe) therefor you can look at the front. your tires are in a squar not a rombus or some ---- like that.

front tires * *
rear * *

not like that

that ---- is strung around the bumpers, who knows how straight they are


you can use anything to form the box really, just make sure the box is square(measure diagonally from corner to corner) and you'll be fine, the string doesnt even need to touch the tires/rims just be close enough to get an accurate measurement. you measure the gap between the front of the rim and the string and the rear of the rim and the string.

tru tru i did this at the track to correct the toe on the passenger side once and i was able to finish the event later at the shop on the alignment machine it was out -.9* from spec so it does work to some acuracy
