TS John Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Let's give it up for following popular opinion. They look good, don't get me wrong. I still think people need to do what they want to their cars without waiting for everyone to give approval. Except for stupid engine stuff and ricey crap of course.

CleanGSR Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Because you can see the negative camber on his front tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 When I dropped mine just the 1.5" and put on the camber kit it came with it was way out in the opposite direction. 7 degrees. I had zero traction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mycarsux Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Thanks guys. I did notice that but I didn't actually know it had anything to do with alignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 There's two types of bad alignment. Camber (which you can see like that) and toe. Camber is much worse for the obvious reasons of ruining tires but toe is also noticably annoying since it can make your car start to pull. Camber can do that too, though.

CleanGSR Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Wrong. 3 types. Cast, Camber, Toe. Toe being off will eat through your tires much faster and if it's off by much you'll have trouble even driving at speeds over 40mph. If your toe is off by a lot you could go through a set of tires in 1000 miles or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 Yeah. I need an alignment badly. It's not a sticker, it hangs from my rearview for parking at school. I refuse to put stickers on my paint, so I hung it from the mirror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I must have been misinformed by the guys at work who do alignments all day. Please elaborate on the types of misalignments or at least post a link so I can learn this stuff. Edit: I really don't mean this to be as rude as it sounds. I was just stating my sources for it.

EH6TunerDaniel Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 No, the sticker at the bottom middle of your windshield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 The best I can explain toe is this: Imagine that your driver's side tire is turned to the right at the same time that the passenger side tire is turned to the left. This is toe-in. Since both tires are turned inward instead of straight ahead, you can see how this would be crazy bad for the tread life of the tire. If both tires are turned out at the same time, then it's toe out. A minor amount of toe is used sometimes to aid in handling. If it's off too bad the car will be really squirly, but on race cars I think it can also make turn-in a little bit sharper and quicker. Cast can be expalined as follows (best I can do): Your strut goes from the engine bay down to the LCA. This should be a pretty much straight shot down. If the angle is not straight down and slopes toward the front or the back then the cast is off. This could also result in the tire not being centered in the wheelwell. I'll try and find a full explanation and start a new post for you two (and everyone else that may need it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
