Default Camber Issues.. Need help!!

Ok so i lowered the front and rear of my car, and as all hondas do the wheels tuck in and you ride on the inner wear of the tire. Im tired of it! I bought a Rhino front camber kit and it brought the tires out some but they still ride inward. I took it to my mechanic 2 get an allighnment and he couldnt get the tires to come out more. He said he corrected the toe though. Im riding on -2 camber in the front and close to -2 in the rear. Is that bad? What should i do??

if it bother's you that much, get a better camber kit is all you can do aside from raising it. When i purchased my camber kit for the type R i went with skunk2 pro plus. It was more money but it allowed up to 4degrees of adjustment which is plenty. Aside from having better balljoints then those knockoff rhyno ones. Expect your balljoints to take a shit pretty soon also.

if he said the toe is good, hope you got a printout then that camber is not that bad. A little bit of negative camber is appreciated for better handling.

The best I could get out of my skunk2 kit in the front is only 1.7 in the front rear is flat though I have a blackworks kit in the rear.

But my front has a little toe in so I'm scrubbing the outer treads a little

You probably are hiting see if there's any bumps under the hood where you think they are hitting. You should probably raise it in the front a little
