What size/brand tires are you using? Have you made any modifications to the car?

Stock sizes? 205/55/16 front 225/50/16 rear?

 

yes, stock tire sizes...

 

If this is street/autocross and all other suspension components are stock, try:

Front:
Caster +6.5 degrees
Camber -1.5 degrees
Toe 0

Rear:
Camber -2.2 degrees
Toe 3/8" total in

Let me know what you think. If the tail keeps coming out on turn exits go to a 1/2" toe in the rear, but it won't be very streetable after that.

 

jerry,

do you know the factory recommend specs? for comparison...

thanks,

 

I don't remember exactly but I think its something like:

Front:
Caster +4.0
Camber -0.5
Toe 0

Rear:
Camber -1.5
Toe 1/4" total in

The factory service manual has the info, but I don't have it in front of me.

 

Factory alignment spec
Front
Camber -0.5d +/- 0.17d
Caster +6.0d +/- 0.25d
Total Toe In 0+/- 2mm
Rear
Camber -1.5d +/- 0.17d
Total Toe In 6mm

Honda (UK) Recommended Optimum Specification
Front
Caster Left 6

 

Hello All,

I am having a hard time deciding what amount of toe out or toe in to use in the front. I thought I liked toe in, but I'm not sure, as I had the negative vs positive mixed up so I don't really know what was on my last car.

Anyway, I was wondering what the majority of you guys like/use.

Thanks,
Mike (aka ThankyouHonda)
