Well the back is done, and the aft ride height has been tweaked a little.

I will wait till tommorow to test drive her again. As of now the front is at -.8 deg of camber and the aft is -1.6 deg of camber. So I will see how she rides and go from there. I wish it was easer to adjust the toe, then I could really dial her in before I have every thing fine tuned at the shop.

Oh and that $270 is just what most are selling for... hit me up when you want a better price
Glad to hear your butt pucker problem has improved
You'll have to get some pics up after you get the new tires and the ride and height set up :)

Spend more you say, ok count me in.

Ha, I might be crazy, but I ain't dumb. I will keep you in mind in the near future. Something tells me I will be price shopping pretty soon.

Ok back to the camber kits.

I took the car out today, and man was she loose. I had the camber set at 0 and the toe was slightly out. It was down right scarry going thru a couple of turns. So I jacked her up and set the camber to .75 and that pulled the toe back in some.

So I took her for another drive, and she was way better. The toe still needs to come in some, but she doesn't make my butt pucker every time I hit a bump.

One a side note, I played with the ride height some too. Once I get the new tires on, I will be setting with a 1/4 inch gap from the lip of the wheel well to the tire. Yeah I could go lower, and tuck the tire, but I like this look better, and I don't have to worry about my ground effects near as much.

Well, now I am off to do the rear.

I know the factory settings (for a stock accord) is double what the front is. That matches my original measurments after I lowered the car. So I wonder if there is a reason for that, or if I could go less than double in the back? Say .75 in the front, and 1.25 in the back.

They pretty much do the same damn thing
wanna spend even more... look at some of the Hondata stuff... Ouch Pricey!

Yeah I just looked at their web page, and they said the CUP is the only thing they make for my car.

So here is my question. Performance wise, how does it compare to a v-tech controler?

Oh and since I know you're gonna ask...
The Jet one sells for around $270.00... so you get to save some extra pennies :)

Of coarse I do
Jet makes the V-Force & PCU for the Hondas/ Acuras. It's kinda like a little piggy back plug in that does the same thing as a chip for those vehicles that won't take a chip.
Not sure but Unichip may have one for your car too.

Yeah a chip is on my list, but the only thing I have found online is a v-tech controler. But I would need about a grand for the controler and a place with a dino that can tune it for me.

Unless you know something I don't.

Note to Jeremy: computer chips are our friends and can stop that lil lag

Well the front kits are in. It took about an hour to get the first A arm out, and about 20 min on the second. Once I got the old bushings pressed out, it only took 30 min a side to put it all back together. It really wasn't as bad as it looked.

On a funny note, man my car needs an alignment. It lookes like every wheel points in a diffrent direction.

I got my cold air intake in too, damn that thing is loud. Who knows it might not give me any more horse power, but I did remove 50lbs of random plastic peices that made the stock intake. This dang thing ran from the middle of the engine bay, all the way down behind the front bumper (to a HUGE resonant chamber) back up the front side of the battery, and opened up inside the engine compartment.

I did take the car for a little test drive. I kinda rolled it thru town, and jumped on it once I got out of the village. You could hear the intake take this huge breath of air, and the car just set there. It was like the computer went "wow that was a crap load of air" "Oh crap I should be moving" and off she went.
