It looks like my car needs a four wheel geo done. What are the full settings people are using for fast road? And no, I'm not interested in running 2.5 deg camber to make my wheels stick out...

 

You can't go far wrong with standard settings, for your year car. Maybe a touch extra rear camber any decent tech will advise you on that and modern computerised rigs (hunter etc) have the standard settings pre programed.

 

I realise that. I understand that perhaps the JDM specs are a bit more aggressive and I want to be able to tell the techs exactly what they should be set to after an idiot ran into the side of my car.

 

Start from here

Front
Caster 6deg
Toe 0 deg
Camber 1deg

Rear
Toe -10' to -25' per side - the more toe-in, the less slidey the car will be but there will be more tyre wear.
Camber 1.5 - 2deg

 

Thanks. By comparison, what are the stock specs for an 07 car?

 

All in the FAQ:

Wheel alignment Camber
Front at inspection −0°30'±30'
Front at adjustment −0°30'±10'
Rear at inspection −1°30'±30'
Rear at adjustment −1°30'±10'

Caster
Front at inspection 6°00'±45'
Front at adjustment 6°00'±15'

Total toe-in
Front 0±2 mm (0±0.08 in.)
Rear 3±2 (0.12±0.08 in.)

Front wheel turning angle
Inside wheel 34°00'±2°
Outside wheel 29°00' (Reference)

 

cheers.

 

The "general" fast road set up seen most commonly is simply an extra half a degree on front and rear camber (eg 1f, 2r), but there are many variations. Request a better tolerance than the values given by honda.

Rear toe is 3.7mm stock for a MY04+ (The FAQ LG quoted is wrong)

 

Everyone is different, the OEM setting will give you alot of rear grip but it is a very understeer setup. Manufacture like to think having an understeer car is alot safer for road use, fast road setup is usually trying to give you more respond to the front and also a more controllable backend, but as I said everyone have different driving style, we cannot give you one ultimate setup for everyone. We have to understand your driving style before we give you the appropriate setting to suit your need.

 

I tend to drive aggressively and push the car a bit, keeping it high in the rev band. However, I do spend a fair amount of time on motorways and city driving. I do not need a set-up that is tuned for track, as the car spends 99.99% of it;s life on roads. I have been known to drive it like it was stolen on occasion. Understeer is not something that I am fond of and I have always driven powerful rear wheel drive cars with one exception. I would prefer neutral handling or a slight bit of predictable rear end oversteer.

Any help on what settings I should tell the techs would be greatly appreciated.
