i finally got in for my alignment today after the skunk2 coilovers went on. this isnt the first alignment i have had or the first suspension setup i have had on this car, that being said have you checked the alignment if its lowered? i understand you cant make adjustments to the rear due to the torsion beam rear suspension but they checked it out for me and the toe is all jacked up in the rear. up front they corrected the toe for me but my camber is not right from side to side, my driver side is 1.5° in and the passenger is 0° wtf? each side is the same ride height and that is a large difference. is anyone making an adjustable camber kit yet? id it best to let an alignment shop install those or is it somethin me and my buddy can handle? i usually hammer everything i drive but i never worry about camber cause it usually helps keep it from rubbing so i know little about camber kits.

 

you can get camber bolts for the front to get that adjusted.
i like to have camber within 0.2 degrees side to side (street application).

and yes, my car has been aligned.

 

i would rather have 1.5° on both sides. they guy at the alignment shop talked like those alignment bolts arent a good idea. does skunk2 make an adjustable camber kit for the fit like they do every other honda?

 

they aren't a good idea... why?

 

The more negative camber you have, the more uneven tire wear you will have, and such camber will consequently wear the tires down quickly. Personally, I would go no more than -1*. I've heard a lot from people who have more than that and replace their tires closer to once every 10,000 or less.

EDIT: Too much camber and your tires will look like this:

 

camber bolts are just non adjustable.

i mean you can just buy a smaller or larger bolt to fix the issue.

granite the skunk2 adjustable is nice, but thats like 200 and they for some reason do not have a kit for our cars yet.

 

i have no idea.

i know all about tire wear when cambered in, i dont care. i could lower it more and rub less.

 

camber alone doesn't wear the tires that much. it's the toe.

i would get some bolts and even it out on both sides... in your case,
i would match the -1.5 degrees. not only will the car perform better
during cornering, it will also look good too.

 

just looking at the rear wheels over the weekend, i was wondering, is the fit toe'd in at the rear from the factory? it looked that way to me.

 

yes, most cars are. it provides straightline stability.

 

WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

camber doesn't wear tires prematurely. TOE wears tires prematurely. it's a common misconception. a car with 0 degrees camber but incorrect toe will get premature wear. so, if you lower your car, and have slight negative camber with correct toe, your tires will last basically as long as it would regularly.

 

i have had my suspension for over a yr now, i have not had my alignment done at all since putting it in, i check my tyres regularly and dont seem to have uneven tyre wear at all on all 4 wheels...

 

same here. after ~10k miles, there's little to no *uneven* wear to my tires

 

so what are those camber adjustable bolts all about? where can you buy them from? are they vehicle specific?

 

Honda 2007 Fit SPC Performance Camber Kits

 

+1 for you good sir. is that the cheapest place to get it?

 

Club RSX.com: SPC Front Camber Kit: 16mm

 

i saw them for around $35 somewhere.

edit: that club rsx link is only for the front. BUT, for the rear, all you need is washers. go to your hardware store and get the thinnest washers you can find

 

where would you put the washers for the rear? Also what are those EZ Shims?

thanks

you have to remove the brake drum assy from the torsion beam and
sandwich them between. its quite a pita if you asked me cause you
may need to do that several times trial and error to achieve your
target toe/camber.
