Camber adjustment etc 5th Gen

Post by jasonxr2racer » Fri Nov 21, 2014 8:43 pm

What aftermarket stuff is out there for the 5th Gen to adjust camber and castor on front and rear

The racecar I'm buying I've not had a good look round to see if it has these fitted yet

It has the 4WS still fitted but disabled but will be swapping for a 2WD rear set up

Cheers

Megan Racing adjustable rear toe arms, and a number of including Ingalls adjustable upper arm bushes.

Out of interest, how have they 'disabled' the 4ws?

Camber adjustment Shouldn't really be needed.

He has a race car so adding negative camber will be very usefull.

4WS cars do allow camber adjustment but when you move to 2WS you will loose that ability. Have a look at this thread for ideas http://www.ludegeneration.co.uk/profile ... -t640.html There is no camber adjustment in the front.

I would join the Honda Prelude Racing Group (HPRG) Facbook page for the best place to get this kind of info. It is for racers only and there is a lot of helpfull people on there who will happily share inforamtion. https://www.facebook.com/groups/213271232196465/
