Camber problem?

[Veetec]

Okay, here is the situation:
I´ve dropped my 5th gen Lude with an Eibach Prokit and Koni yellows on stock tires/ rims. I dunno how much it´s lowered but there is a gap of two thin fingers left on the front (between wheel wells and tires) and about 1 1/2 thin fingers on the rear. Camber seems to be within specs and tire wear seems to be okay, too.

So here are my problems:
1.) I seem to have more negative camber on the rear.
2.) Sometimes the car feels `nervous´ depending on speed. I mean it´s kind of difficult to keep track sometimes. (Do you know what I mean? I dunno how to explain it. )

My questions are:
1.) Should I get a camber kit or won´t help it with my problems? And if yes, which brand? Ingalls is very expensive but I dunno if Progress (or Progressive?) or others are good brands.
2.) If I would correct most of my negative camber (I want to keep some negative camber because we´ve got a lot of corners over here!) with a kit would my tires scrap on the wheel wells or even hit on them?

I really need some fast help with that because I´m going to order a Neuspeed strut bar from the US in the next days and then I could order it all together.
Thanx in advance!

Okay, here´s the new situation:
I´ve found my alignement printout again. Camber and toe seems to be okay on the front axle (front left camber/ toe: -0°49´/ 0°01´// front right camber/ toe: -0°30´/ 0°00). It´s a bit different on the rear axle. Camber seems to be okay there, too (rear left camber: -1°20´// rear right camber: -1°39´). But the toe is a bit out of spec (rear left toe: -0°02´// rear right toe: 0°23´).
So what is your opinion about that? Is it fine like it is now or should I change anything? Maybe the "washer trick" on the rear and then a new alignement?! Please give me some input about this because I don´t have got ANY idea.
Thanx in advance!

if you have car manual, you should be able to find suspension tolerances for your car in there.

sorry i can not help any more, i have an Accord. Accord does not need a camber kit if its lowered with Pro-Kit, but Prelude can be different.

Camber seems to be okay but the toe on the back axle seems to be out of specs! What would I need to do the washer trick? I think one washer on each site should be enough but what else would I need for it and is it safe?

Check out my site for the rear camber trick. I'm not sure how prelude suspensions are, but if it looks the same, then it'll work

As for the rear toe, you need to get an alignment to get that fixed. That'll wear out your tires quicker than the negative camber will.

the washer trick will NOT work for Preludes. I wanted a cheap way to fix my camber too, but it will not work. After lowering your car, did you get an alignment? It may help your camber after you get an alignment. If so, I say Ingalls or Progressive makes the best camber kits. Good luck.
