Front camber/caster adjustment
I lowered my car a little bit more and got an alignment today. I found out that I'm out of spec in negative camber (on the front right) and slightly off in caster. I know that stockwise, you can only adjust toe in the front. I know about the Spoon kit, but I think it only increases camber negatively.
Would the Ingalls front camber kit for the Accord work on our TSXs as well? If not, what options (if any) do I have?

First question is, how much did you lower. If you went 2", then (JTso correct me if I'm wrong) you will probably bump the top of the Ingalls kit with your shock tower, permenantly damaging it. If you went 1.5" or less, then the Ingalls should be fine.

I'm lowered a little more than 2" (1 finger gap all around on 225/40/18s). I remember JTso saying that he had issues with the top bolt on the SPC kit hitting the shock tower. This why I initially thought about the Spoon kit since it replaces the lower arm. However, I would like to actually increase positive camber on the front right and I think the Spoon kit only increases negative camber.
Also, do any of these kits allow caster adjustments?

I'm not sure if anything else can be done. You would need to talk to a shop that deals with custom suspensions/alignments. Ususally guys that are racers that have shops would know what else can be done. Outside of kits like this, I use my alignment guy.

So you are saying that the Ingalls Part #35590 kit that works on the 1998-2000 Accord does not work on our TSX?

I suppose worst case scenario, I could just increase the negative camber on the front left side to even everything out. As it stands, I'm at -0.4 FL / -1.0 FR. For caster measurements, I'm still within spec but I again want to even out both sides.

Hi guys. Im new here. I have an 04 tsx. Lowered 2inch . Im using the s.p.c.adjustable upper ball joints. Pn#67320. up to 3*adjustment and is caster adjusting also. The old ball joints need some effort to remove, but installation is simple. And is alignment. Just finished yesterday at work
