Next month I plan on getting full camber, what degree would be best for everyday driving/ best handling for my coupe.

what is full camber, and usually the best degree of camber for driving is manufacturer spec which is usually around 0 to -1.5 as far as my car goes, dont know exactly what hondas specs are.

Usually -1* on all corners ( within factory spec)

By full camber I ment all around front and rear. And thats kinda what I was thinking, 1 degree all around.

They are right as close as you can get it to factory spec. What type of suspension componets are you running?

i would agree with you, but if you enjoy a little spirited driving, than factory specs arent always the best route. they are designed for minimal tire wear and "regular" driving. i checked out a few forums before i aligned my car and found that most people who dd their cars and enjoy holding the road rolled with a full degree negative all the way up to a degree and a half negative up front; and in the rear between a half to three quarters negative; as much caster as you can magically get; and zero toe. every car will react different to this setup, so if you notice your tires showing a little "feathering" across them, then your toe will need to be readjusted. if you say that the neg camber will show wear, you are wrong. if you rotate your tires like you should (every 6k) you will never notice that negative camber. when you buy a camber kit, spend the money for a good kit, research it and dont settle for anything but the best. an alignment cost 70-90 dollars, you dont want to waste that much because you skimped on a camber kit that wont stay tight or doesnt give you enough adjustment.:duel:

So who makes a good camber kit. I personaly am planning on going with SK2 adjustable coilovers. Would their camber kits be good?
