Any word on whether this trick will work or not

I like the price but I am not sure how technically sound it is. Since I am not the most mechnacilly inclined person. Also I would assume that it would work on the 99-00 model civics also. Correct me if i am wrong. I would love to be able to correct my rear camber this way becuase it is bad. Thanks guys

it will work....i know a lot of guys on honda-tech use it....but just remember that the camber settings will be as accurate as the thickness of the washers

hhuuumm......thats pretty interesting. that sure is a simple solution. wonder why this isn't done all the time?

[grizoove]

i would guess because it is not really precise?? but I kinda want to try it because my camber on the back cant get any worse

true dat yO! its well worth a try for that price!

my friend in montgomery with the yello spoon DA teg told me about that.

Look at my rear camber, My tires dont wear hardly at all either (in the back). I dont think you would need to adjust it unless you race hard alot,

Oh yea, you wont be able to tuck tire either I dont think. It will rub.

I would leave it.

I cant leave it it destroys tires. Just driving no racing...it is bad. Tucking isn't a problem it needs not too tuck anyways for max handling.

I have seen this technique used before, on Accords more than on Civics. From what i know it works. The only thing is that if you want to adjust your camber, that is all its good for. If you are trying to save tires, then you have to get a camber kit. That technique is good for correcting camber in a small way. But with your current set up, you have too much negative camber to save it through that method. The people that i knew that did that eventually came back and bought a camber kit. It would not be bad if you had a small drop on your car, but you have somewhere between 2 to 3 degrees of correction to go there buddy. If you are trying to change the handling characteristics of your car then go for it. If you are trying to save tires, then get a camber kit. You'll make up the difference in money through tires alone.

any word on how many degrees you can fix it by. Civics come with -1 degree on the rear from the factory.

[LookingForVTEC]

you worry too much! Honda give you + or - 1 degree's from stock. Just get it to specs and make sure your tow is correct.

No this will not work. Everyone that has ever tried it instanteously exploded into a fireball killing all within a 1/2mi radius.

Now that is a good trick.
