Default 03 vs 04 camber specs... different?

or the same? im thinkin different because of the wheel size change... but would like to confirm this before i get an alignment...

i just switched to 17" rims and am planning to just have them align to 04 specs...

anyone have the specs offhand?

I can't answer your question directly but if the settings changed in '04, I don't think it was because they went to 17" wheels, but rather for suspension tuning - different ride characteristics. It looks like the overall diameter of the wheel/tire, width (contact patch) and the way the tire sits relative to the car didn't change. Thus, I don't see it necessary to go to the '04 spec (if indeed it changed) just because you are going to 17" wheels (of the same width and offset). This is also assuming you are going with tires that mimic the '04 in sizing as well.

In this case, when Honda went to 17" wheels, they adjusted the tires accordingly so that the overall diameter remained more or less the same. The only difference was that they went to a slightly wider front tire (205 vs 215).
For reference, I hope someone with the specs for the '04 alignment will post here.

'04 specifications are unchanged from before. However, many owners have reported having hardly any camber on the front. (My front camber was only slightly below middle of the specs, though.) I posted my alignment finds earlier, I'll see if I can find that post...
