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.

I am running Eibach Sportline springs and am maxed out around -1.1 up front without the SPC knuckles for what that is worth to you.

Right I recall you mention. It seems that the knuckles may not really be worth it if one intends to lower their car anyways. Maybe someone will get better results.

I imagine camber plates would have been more effective to dial in camber. It baffles me why something like that hasnt been released.

I believe someone said Ground Control may be working on some?

Were they just camber plates, or coilovers w camber plates?

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

I ended up installing these today. If you plan on doing this, do not think you can install and then drive to an alignment center. After we did these and the strut alignment pin removal, the toe out was huge. So huge that when we put it on the hunter rack it displayed a total toe out of 5 degrees in front and wouldn't let us even begin an alignment until we toed the front in. You could hear the tires squealing up the ramps onto the rack it was so bad. After all was said and done though, I ended up at -1.5 degrees in front.

I'm coming from a 2006 RSX where I had -1.8 camber up front (stock rear camber) and with the quaife LSD and Aspec suspension, the car handled like a go kart on highway ramps and was an absolute joy to drive. On/off ramps at 55 mph were easy with no tire squeal. Super neutral handling.

Just bought a 2018 Civic SI coupe (delivery in early September) and want the exact same handling characteristics. What is recommended in mid 2018 for camber that eliminates under steer that doesn't mess badly with toe?
