Default Rear tire camber kit

I have the H & R springs and my car has camber in the rear. It is eating tires at 5,000 miles. Who sells kits? I checked out fast labs anyone else?

our cars have a camber kit stock, but if your car is lowered more than 1.75 you might need spc pn#67220

I would like to know as well since I just noticed my car is quite low and driving behind it last night I saw the negative camber is bad. It looks very cool but wow won't be good for the tires!

What is this special part number from? Honda?


thanks,
rick

You DO NOT NEED a camber kit to adjust the camber on the S2000. With drops up to 1-1/2 inch (or more) all you need to do is have the car alighed at a good alighment shop.

Always have the car aligned after changing the ride height.

You are wasting your money. Get the car aligned at a good alignment shop and pocket the difference. This kit will NOT fix your problem (though the alignment you will have to get afterward will).

yo fellas,

Thought I'd share my experience with my 05 s2k that was recently dropped on Tien Flex coils.

I'm running Work Meister 3-piece rims with 265/35 Toyo T1r's out back and 225/40 up front.

The offsets:

Rear: +63mm
Front: +56mm

My car is pretty slammed as you can see in the pic below and I have to be 100% honest with no fender rolling it didn't rub at all which I was a bit surprised at but hey, no complaints here!

Only issue was the rear camber seemed bad so I took to to my buddy's shop for an alignment. OEM specs say the rear should be around 1.3 degrees and my right rear definitely had issues at 3.3 degrees. My left rear was at 2.3 degrees.

With just the stock adjustments, we got it to within 0.5 degrees of spec at 2.0 degrees. He says that is about normal with a lowered car.

The fronts we got it to 1.3 degrees I think (sorry but don't have my spec sheet here with me) If anyone's interested I can scan and post it up tomorrow so just let me know.


Hope this info helps and here's a pic of my car's stance

Those Work rims look great!

But yes, I agree with the many above that have stated that getting your car aligned after lowering it should cure most of your "bad camber" problems. You should get your car aligned after lowering it anyway.
