I just put in Tein S-Techs on my 2010 Sport, and need to get an alignment but a couple places have said I need a camber kit, is that true?

I always thought that caster/camber kits were needed with a 2 or more inch drop.

Any help?

Specifically people with S-Techs

 

No you don't NEED one. The Fit has Macpherson strut front suspension, and does not gain OR lose much camber with a drop.

They are beneficial for cornering, because the Fit has an inherently bad camber curve because of suspension design, but not required. I have been running S-Techs with no camber bolts for many, many miles.

I do have the bolts sitting in my garage, i'll install them when I put my new shocks in and get an alignment.

 

Do you plan to track the car or auto-x?

 

nope.

total side note....any way to add camber to the rear?

ive seen this for the front/rear...anyone tried this?

It wouldn't hurt to throw a set of crash bolt on the front and run 1 degree on the street.

You can not add camber to the rear without fabrication. The Spec V guys with a solid rear axle put the car on a frame puller and pull on the center on the rear beam (slightly bending the axle) to increase camber. There is not much of a need to increase the camber in the rear. The car has a difficult enough time rotating as is.

 

if you don't need more than 1.5 deg, just go with the honda accord camber bolts

 

so basically with a 1 inch drop for the the camber should still be fine?
