sorry to bump this thread but i too installed my coilovers and gave me positive camber T_T. .4degs driver side and .3degs passenger side.

OP did camber bolts fix the issue? kinda weird to me since usually when you lower your car, it should give negative camber

 

Yup. Camber bolts solved it!

 

One thing to consider is that if you have lowered the car enough to get positive camber, that mean either the bolt holes on the new struts are off (hopefully) or that you have lowered the car so far that it's FAR outside it's proper camber curve to handle well.... meaning if it sits statically (still) in a position where any further compression of the spring will provide for positive camber, then you will have an absolutely retarded handling balance. Might want to consider raising the front a bit.... that's what most guys do on track cars when that happens because best performance is had where the suspension geometry is proper, even if it means the center of gravity is a little higher.....

And from a technical point of view, when you lower a strut car, you increase the roll couple (the length between the roll center and center of gravity), and that makes the front of the car want to roll more, thus making it understeer more usually. So, it's a double negative. So, running the front of the Fit a touch higher than "slammed" is definitely a good idea.

Hope that helps a few of you who care about your handling.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Ding ding ding.

 

since the upper knuckle hole is elongated, did you check this? you shouldn't use a camber bolt with an elongated hole that 's already designed to give you more camber...

 

funny this is i'm on 17s and runing a 45 series tire.. only having around 1.5-2 finger gap so i think i'm far from slammed

still getting positive camber though.. weird.

 

that is odd. and it's pretty tough to make a mistake on the install on this car...

 

Car looks great!
Sorted it out yet?

 

It has to be the way the holes are drilled on the strut then... nothing else (and I mean not a single other thing) will affect camber on the Fit.

Thanks!

Yup. After putting new wheels on the car i bought the camber bolts and they solved the issue. They've been perfect since.
