Someone help me w/ a camber ? - Honda Prelude Forum

97blacklude · 03-09-2002, 12:54 PM

Ok i have neuspeed sport springs (1.75 front and 1.5 rear) so i waited 3 weeks to get it aligned.

the rears are fine

Front right: -1.87 degrees
Front left: -1.43 degress

Stock should be btwn. -1 through 1

I am guessing a need a camber kit right? And what kit do u recommend if that matters? I heard something about having to shave something off the ingalls kit

Please help a brother out

I thought shaving the Ingalls was only for extreme drops? Or was that for SH Preludes?

0.87 and 0.43 degrees is ok though I think. Why spend so much if the wear is only minimal?

I say no...heh but I'm biased because I have the same setup as you do.

We should ask vooboo...he has the same setup as well.

Hm-do you have an SH or Base?
The Base can be taken care of with a pair of Specialty Products #67135. This has a range of +/-1.5 degrees and should not pose any problens. They are what I have with the same basic setup as described. You want to be closer to 0.0 degrees, but a little negative won't hurt as long as the toe-in is correct.
BTW: my Base has +3.8 degrees of Caster (yes it is out of range-but great improvement, similar to SH actually. Make sure that the Caster value is equal for both sides-very very important item. It is a result of the lowering and Camber kits. Have that checked while on the machine, as there is a way to get that adjusted thru the kits as well as shimming the radius rods.

For the SH a front kit is available from www.northstarmfg.com. It is NOT the same taper for the ball joint for the Base.

As to the rear-get it checked again. Mine was off enough to have kits back there. If you need more data or help--drop me an e-mail. The alignment machine you use is really important. Make sure that a 4-wheel alignment is done-that means the rear is taken care of first. (You might want to look at my setup page for an idea or 2.)

Good luck

I have a Base. Where do i order the speciality product?

Specialty Product kits are available from Ultra Performance in Tucson, AZ. They have ad's in the mags and a website. Call them (800#)and talk to Derreck-he took care of me and the prices were really great along with shipping.
