I hit curbs twice in my acura. one on each side of the front, enough to break rims....yes i have pics of the broken stock rims. Both times in rain 2-3months apart and although i did notice some positive camber it was off by a degree or two. no big deal eh?

2weeks ago i put coilovers on and thought they were too stiff so i took them off a few days ago and with the stock suspension back on i have a LOT of positive camber. i dont know how 'cuase i didnt see anything to adjust or did anything to upset the camber so i took it to an alignment place and they want $250 to put a camber kit on the front to fix the problem becuase they say that honda's don't have a way to adjust camber.

If so, i must have bent something right...but what?? it all seemed fine when i did the coilover install. Question is, is $250 worth the camber kit for the front alone? Is there a way to adjust/correct this without a camber kit?

I would find whats bent. I would start with the lower control arm. and work up.

 

I got hit in the rear drivers side and they said the camber (upper control arm) was bent. There is an Ingalls kit on eBay for $150 shipped plus installation (they said about an hour and the dealership i work at said $85/hr plus 25% off b/c i work there. so i'm looking at about $225 installed for the rear kit. (This kit comes with adjustable camber and you can adjust the toe too.)

Like Fatty said, make sure that it is the camber that is messed up before you buy anything.

 

Also check your lower ball joints. I know my alignment has been crap for awhile now. I had movement in my lower control arms that go into these lower ball joints and they told me that there is no play allowed.

 

you can ask heeltoeauto for some camber kits.

I got a pair, they were 35591/38720 part numbers. shipped for like 310. Took awhile though cuz he didnt' have any in stock.
