Dave - for what you are doing I see no reason for you to need what that camber kit will give you.

Fair enough Alex! Also appreciate the other folks' input as well. Looks like I'll just be considering a less aggressive alignment on the fronts next go-round.

These are what (and from whom) I and many others use on our Honda race cars, Dave. Once tightened they hold very well and I have never had an issue with them slipping or loosening even when pounding the curbs at many different tracks.

The model w/ +-3deg. should be more than adequate.

Dave,
A lot of the time excessive wear is from too much toe (not excessive camber).



Remind me to take a look at your front tires on Sunday. Toe and camber have slightly different wear characteristics, but they can looks the same to untrained eyes. The signs should still be there even after you do the swap, hopefully....

Wish we had gotten that print out now. I ran -2 and -2.5 for FC.

Sure will ( If I have my front tires/wheels Sunday)... I dropped my fronts off at a local wheel shop Wednesday to have the shoes swapped across the rims. Called them tonight (Thursday) and they said..."Friday " Lord ...I never have luck with these rims. I'm running around right now with my stocker 16"s with Blizzaks! .

...yeah, those'll be a joy on Sunday's drive if this shop doesn't return me my wheels in time ...



On the other hand...when they inspected my tires they had much to comment similarly to your concern. Although heavily worn on the very inner portion, they thought that particular wear was more indicative of toe than of camber. We'll see. If the tires get swapped correctly & they don't up my rims, then it'll be reeeeeeal easy to inspect the wear patterns cuz they'll be on the outer edge of the tires after the swap.

Like they commented earlier, we do have the new kits available. If you have any questions about them, give me a call and we can talk. I also have a great network of alignment engineers that you can talk with as well.
