Need More Camber. Options?

[Jay.DeVries]

Hey everyone. I've looked around a little bit and I can't find any camber plates for the front of my hatch. I need more camber than I currently have, and there isn't much factory adjustment. Anyone know of any out there? Thanks!

Honda showed off camber plates at the LA Auto Show. The plates were on their "body in white" display with a bunch of other HFP/HPD performance parts.

Any fresh ideas on this? I’m in need of some additional front camber myself.

Nothing yet. Ive been following-up with front camber solutions religiously. Would be thankful if someone proves me wrong.

Maybe you get more front camber adjustment if you're willing to settle with some of the current coilover options. I am wishfully hoping Spc or hdp release something within the next year or so.

I thought I read somewhere that Ground Control will have a Camber Plate option soon??... Might be worth calling them to find out?

Some people have taken out the locator stud on the strut tower and gotten an extra .5 degrees or so.

I did that over the weekend and did pick up a few tenths. I think it will be enough to keep my tires from rubbing.

SPC is listing adjustable ball joints which state up to one degree of negative camber per unit.

Nice find.

 

[ronmcdon]

Very nice find indeed. Does this mean we can expect -1 camber up front, or can we expect to dail in something more aggressive?

I'll be totally happy if I can get -1.5

I am already at -1 with the factory adjustment maxed out and Eibach Sportlines springs. The SPC kit would offer an additional degree.

Good to know, many thanks! Im hopeful -1.5 should be doable.

I got impulsive and ordered the spc front balljoints via the Spc website.

Note that the $99 part I think is for each of the balljoints and unlikely a pair (if I messed up and ordered 2 pairs will just send the other back). So it is like $200 plus like $17 shipping to CA. Shipping isnt included, so maybe id suggest looking for a vendor who offers free shipping.

I will try to have the part installed mid or late Oct and see how far I can push the front camber and update on this thread if nobody else does.

It think you are right, I would not expect a pair for $99. I do not need any more camber for now but I'm looking forward to see what kind of results you get.

There no OEM Honda camber bolts available correct? Usually these would be used to fix camber after a crash, but I imagine Honda used the strut pins in place of the camber bolts.

just had the spc front knuckles & spc rear arms installed.

I could only get around -1.1 on one side and -1.2 on the other. Note I am riding on stock springs and shocks. I may get it closer to -1.5 with a lowered suspension. kinda disappointing, but I guess its not terrible either. On the rear SPC arms I am able to adjust up to -4. I just kept everything at -1.1.

Along with the CTR rear bar installed, canyon driving appears to have less roll and handling seems to give more feedback. On freeway driving car behaves just a tad nervous. It reminds me a bit like my evo with ohlins suspension and slightly stiffer rear springs. I'm going to try throwing a front upper bar and call it a day, suspension wise. For my purposes, it's good enough for a car that is unlikely to see the racetrack. Tempted to go autoX now.
