        Haven't visualy inspected it yet. I felt up under neathe and there's about a finger gap between the uca and where's its hitting. I can feel where its hitting at. Adjustmesnts should be fine since I got the allignment. The lower balljoint was replace by les shwab, the uca I put on which I don't think there's much adjustment that I could mess up on with that since I got my allignment. And the tie rod ends were adjusted with the allignment too. Maybe I should try adjusting the dampening on my koni yellows?

          Yeah. definitely worth trying. Maybe the bad toe stuffed the tyres more so than the reletively mild negative camber. Someone else will have to comment on that.

            False

            I rarely, if ever, have any banging issues anymore and I'm significantly lower than the OP. It's all about adjusting your setup to the point where everything is good and clear.

            I have the balljoint kit and it used to bang until I adjusted everything up the way it should be and now it's fine.

            Get up under your car and see what's up. Once you see exactly what's going on you'll either know how to fix it yourself or can come back and ask us what we think would be a good course of action.

              Alright thanks guys for alll the help. hopefully tomorow ill be able to jack it up and check everything out. im sure that if i adjusted camber negative it would most likely stop all the hitting and everything but i dont want my tires to get any worse then they already are. i havent even finished paying them off. but maybe i can get you guys some pictures too.

                -1 should be fine. Im no expert but thats within OE specs and it will give you a little extra "bite" in the corners. And im glad to here camber kits not hitting, ive yet to get one but it may need to happen soon.

                  Wearing your tires out has more to do with improperly adjusted toe than anything. I know guys that run around with well more than 1* of negative camber and their setups wear very evenly because their toe has been properly aligned.

                    Well since i already got the allignment and everything my toe should be perfectyly fine. Im thinking since my toe was so bad it made it look as if my camber caused all the tire wear. But i also know camber doesnt cause much tire wear as fast as it did on my new tires. im gonna try gettin my car in the garage soon.

                      What Toe is reccomended on our cars? ive heard going a little negative will help cornering or straitaways, forgot which one. Should it just be set at 0 or??? Not even sure what mines at.

                        it should be set at 0. but negative 1 to positive 1 is alright. and negative camber helps in cornering.

                            k so i have a few questions then since you guys seem to have tried a few different brands..

                            first: Has any one tried the TASPRO UCA/camber kit

                            second: Is it recommended more then say the SPC or Ingalls UCA camber kits when it comes to parts coming loose or knocking?

                            any input would be appreciated.. it feels like my damn upper Bj's are about to snap they're getting so loud when stopping and starting in traffic and shit..

                            im really leaning towards the taspro but its just a lot of money and i dont wanna waste 300$ on a camber kit when the other 2 are cheaper

                            8 Accords so far:
                            '81 SE Sedan(1st Gen), '83 SE Sedan(2nd Gen), '89 SE Sedan(3rd Gen)
                            '89 DX Sedan(3rd Gen), '92 LX Coupe(4th Gen), '92 EX Wagon(4th Gen)
                            (3rd gen parts car) I'm currently Driving a '14 Accord Sport 9th Gen

                              I wish I had the answer to that. But I didn't have the money for there kit. I think you should try it out and give us your input on them. Since we already do know how the others work out. I'm thinking about just getting rid of my camber kit and dealing with the camber wear.
