Need some alignment advice, quick camber question
Okay so:
1992 Acura Integra GS 2 door
Energy suspension bushings all around
KYB AGX shocks on stiffest setting
Skunk2 coilovers all the way down
Skunk2 front camber kit maxed out
Custom washer trick rear camber kit
SSR Type X's 205/50/15 Fuzion ZRi's
What is the max negative camber I should run (front and rear) without chewing through these tires at an abnormal rate?
It's in getting an alignment right now so if the negative camber is too high then I'm going to raise it up a bit. Basically I want to run it as low as possible without ruining my tires cuz they're brand new. So what mbers would you guys recommend?

There's plenty to do outside my room but I choose not to!

its not so much the camber you gotta worry about, it's the toe. Camber does affect tire wear but not as much as toe. i'm running -2 front and -1 rear on mine.
i hope you're not gonna lower it more or raise it after the alignment cuz then you're pretty much back where you started.
you're best off setting your ride height, then tell the alignment shop to zero out the toe and adjust the camber to what you desire. i wouldn't do more than -2.5 unless you cant adjust it anymore.
throw some pics up already....jeeez lol

I'm rolling on -2.5 front and rear which is already out of spec and kinda pointless for street driving but i do plan to hit the track a few times this season so it should help me in cornering. plus a little negative camber looks pretty cool too....haha.
if you main concern is to not wear the tires out make sure all your OTHER suspension components are not worn out (ball joints, inner and outer tie rods, control arm bushings) and have a proper 4 wheel alignment with your toe angles set correctly.
i always suggest about -2 camber front and rear if they are adjustable.

Okay so I took it in with the coilovers all the way down and the camber kits maxed out and it had
Driver front: -3.0
Passenger front: -2.5
Driver rear: -3.5
Passenger rear: -3.5
So I told them to raise it until all 4 corners were at -2 and then do my toe, so they did it for me and the thing rides super nice now.
PICTURES!!!!! lol i haven't even had time to wash the rims yet so give me a break

the first picture is before alignment and the last 3 are all after alignment.
the only reason i'm looking for a real rear camber kit is so i can stop using this chinse washer trick and i can possibly put the rear end lower while still running -2 we'll see.
