If I recall, the stock camber settings for the front cannot be adjusted without a kit. Toe can be adjusted to a certain degree without a kit.

+1 there is no camber adjustment on the front. there is a shop in my area that says they can heat and bend arms to get them back into specs, of course the g drivers in the area stay far away them

I've had another car done without a kit at Miami chassis. I was thinking obout taking the G soon for the front also. I'm sure they can do it. Let's get a group buy going.

Yes, everything was serious except the part about the group buy. But even that's not far-fetched. Why, is there a problem?

post your pre/post alignment numbers then. How did they go about adjust camber in the front?

It was for a 2003 civic. I've only done the rear on the G. So far so good. I don't have any #s to post.

So then how are you so sure they are going to be able to adjust something that has no adjustment? Magic?

I could've sworn it was the fronts that have some adjustability, and the rears that have none, hence everyone tends to get camber links in the rears.

I was going to ask this question as well, but I was wondering if anybody new how much adjustability there was?

fronts only have toe adjustment, no camber at all. Rears have a small amount of camber and toe adjustment. The reason people usually buy the rears is because the fronts are significantly more expensive, and the rear tires wear down faster than the fronts anyways, so if the front wear down prematurely due to camber/toe, then you just replace all 4 tires at once.

I called Miami Chassis earlier today and they quoted me $200 for front camber correction and alignment. No kit required. They do good work there. Don't ask me how they do it, just call them yourself. They're located in Miami, FL.
