my bad bro, but i didn't get them from the tech, all i did was ask for oem specs (with coservative settings) for best tire life, with the only request to get -0.9* rear camber ... car handles GREAT though on the street, you can definely feel the biggest difference on the highway, gettign on and off ramps good fun

went to the aligment factory in MIA

Where do I find the UK specs? Do I just take it to the shop and tell them I want UK specs and they'll be able to look it up?

[QUOTE=UCrazyKid,Oct 16 2006, 04:22 PM] I asked this question about 3 weeks ago and didn't get much of a response. The best adivce I've found so far is to run the specs that Honda UK recommended after extensive testing. They are

Front:
Caster (L&R) 6deg 45"
Camber (L&R) -1.0
Toe: (L&R) 0
Total Toe 0

Rear:
Camber: (L&R) -2.0
Toe (L) 0 deg 20"
Toe

FWIW, I've used UK specs since about 1000 miles. On my secod set of tires at 15000 miles. Now I have 22000 miles. Both sets of tires developed an odd rotational noise. It almost sounds like a wheel bearing, but the bearings are fine. The noise goes away with new (or different) tires. I suspect my alignment creates a wear pattern that makes noise.

the rotational noise is the tires, mine started the noise @ 2000 miles. my rears are doing the whup, whup, whup noise.

i need to balance and get a real alignment, this thread is good info.
