camber question
I just got a call from the dealership...it was in getting an alignment done. This is what I was shooting for:
Front: Camber (negative 1.5)
Rear: (negative 2.2)
Front: Toe (slightly out)
Rear: (slightly in)
They could only get my front to 0.6 negative and my rear to 1.5 negative. They said if they went further the toe on both will be affected contrary to my specs....does this make sense????

I recently went to a small independant shop run by car enthusiasts, they did the Honda UK specs (more aggressive, but more tire wear) for me with no problem at all. When they went over what they had done, they apologized for opne of the specs being 0.01 off, it was as close as they could get it

....I drove the car this evening and it felt A LOT better than before...not as "edgy" and not as much oversteer as before...but I think by adding more negative to the back I would be able to improve further, right?
They told me to drive it and see how I felt. If I was not satisfied they would try some more...
Here is my question:
1. If I increase negative camber, how is that affecting toe? Is the toe going in or out on the front if I increase negative camber? I assume these two are somehow related, right? How abou the rear? How will increasing negative camber affect toe? In or Out?
Thanks guys!

angel - be sure to check out this thread: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?...&threadid=44573
this is the under the hood thread about alignments and what is recommended.
camber isn't going to affect toe at this point. more camber in your sense would mean a little bit more tire wear. Honda UK specs, Honda US specs - they are different, and Honda dealerships will not go out of spec for the US alignement. Its best to do it at an independent shop.
I have a few alignment specs that I recommend to individuals based on how they drive and if they take their car to the track. I'm not an expert by any means, but I've had several alignments on this car and been through a few sets of tires.
