Just came back from the dealer and they told me that they can not adjust the rear tires within factory spec. My right rear was -2.7 camber:eek: and my right rear was -2.1 :'( . With that kind of numbers I think my rear whells will be done ~3000 miles. I guess I need to get me a camber kit. If I knew the eibach pro springs need a camber kit I wouldn't have bought it.:( Any other ep owners have this problem? Also is it hard to installed a camber kit?

thanks

i've had my pro-kits on for about 4-5k miles with no camber wear whatsoever. i can't even notice a difference in (rear) camber over stock. i wouldn't sweat it man, just keep an eye on your tread and rotate your tires on a normal basis...

no man the honda tech told me anything under 1.5 and you wont even notice the camber wear its so moderate.

My mechanic told me that my camber was right at the edge of factory spec for camber with my pro kits. He also said not to worry about it at all. I can't imagine that your camber would be that much different. Maybe the honda tech guy is just being a prick.

I have the pro kit. I think my stock shocks might be wasted. Could that caused the extreme negative on the camber????? Also I have around 100 lbs of stuff in the rear hatch all the time.

yea 100lbs of stuff will make it sag and the camber would prob be off..

btw what are you caring back there, an 1ton jack?
