I just installed Koni shocks/struts with Swift springs. Also grabbed a set of Godspeed camber arms nearly identical to the skunk2 arms.
The install was easy enough. Took me about 5 hours.
I went to my local Firestone for the wheel alignment. The Technician said he wouldn’t be able to do the alignment because of my “modified suspension”...
Wish I had access to an alignment rack. I’d just do it myself.
Yeah unfortunately people at places like that are scared to touch something different. Find a real tire shop that sells aftyer market wheels and they would gladly do it.
Bout to say, if the tech ain't doing the alignment then either full of it or he doesn't know what he's doing; most machines I know of including Snap-On and Hunter Engineering should be equipped to adjust rear camber in addition to front toe alignments. Know this because I did alignments as a tech myself for years.
Lol this video was awesome. Got some funny dudes at the shop! Thanks, im about to install truhart shocks with skunk2 springs and may get camber arms beforehand so i can get the alignment proper!
Very nice detailed video, I’m in a area of Florida where not a lot of people like to work on Honda so I gotta do all my suspension work myself unfortunately
you can also adjust the camber on the front if you get a camber bolt for the top strut bolt to the knuckle
I was the 667th subscriber. I had to get that devils number out of here.
Drover26 you’re awesome thank you
Good to see you can install with hand tools!
Of course!
When I installed the Godspeed project camber arms, I would get a clunk on my right passenger side. If I go for Skunk2 or Ksport I am sure hoping this problem doesn't occur.
It even looks as if my right rear passenger side doesn't sit at the same level when on jack stands, maybe something is wrong, idk.
the part that screws into the arm and corrects the camber is loose and moves up and down when I would pull on the tire.
Maybe my car is too low? I had to reinstall my stock ones because- I was afraid all the up and down clunks would snap the screw in part of the camber arm.
I just realized that the alignment place I went to never locked the nut to the middle, they left it all the way out towards the wheel.
Finally realized why my car pulls right. One of the ACR was installed with the threads longer than the other. Resulting in the wheel/tire sticking out further than the other. So, I have to get under there and measure them to be equal length.
Hope you get it right my dude! Thanks for watching.
A Brian Lewis Vlog Found out that my Skunk2 Rear Camber arm bushing gave up the ghost. 🤦🏻♂️ I now need to replace the arms because I no longer trust Skunk2 parts. I don’t even drive it hard.
T- Mills man I only got to drive my car about 2-3 months after installation before I decided to sell it to focus on getting out of debt. Good to know for my next build! Sorry this happened to you bro.
Sometimes u don’t need to add a camber kit to the front ... u can always loosen the 2 bottom strut bolts and it might move on it’s on just enough....to where u won’t need a camber kit
Awesome vid man. Appreciate the upload!
638zr1 thanks for watching 😊
I have a question for the Honda community - I have a 2016 civic EX with both rear wheel suffering from negative camber. Both tires are wearing on the inside bad, and it’s very noisy on the road. I was told the ONLY fix for this issue is an aftermarket arm which “adds” rear camber adjustment which would otherwise not be an option.
As an engineer this makes no sense to me. Why are we not instead seeking to find out what part failed/wore out and replacing that part instead? For example, if I take my car to a Honda dealership, how would fix this issue? Would they really buy an aftermarket/non-Honda part to fix this issue? Surely they would replace OEM parts with OEM parts to restore proper alignment, right?
I’m trying to avoid buying an aftermarket chamber adjustment kit and instead replace OEM parts. So far I replaced the rear shock absorbers and that did not fix the problem (no change in negative camber). I was thinking I would replace the springs next but I’m reconsidering after all the videos I keep finding with people using the aftermarket kit…
I just installed the camber kit to mi son’s civic si 9gen,and the final alignment came with positive toe on the rear,
0.40 left rear 0.45 right rear how this is going to affect the life of the tires
Hi there just installed skunk2 lowering springs and skunk2 camber kit on my 9th gen coupe, is the rear toe adjustable also so i can get it straight as possible? Its pointing in a bit
I love these guys
Great video
It would have been great to know the length measurement after alignment to get proper camber
Yeah did this install several years ago. I wasn’t thinking back then. Lol
Where you banging your stock camber arms on your frame when you lowered your car? Mine bangs the frame😢
I did not have that issue. I think these are labeled left and right make sure they got installed on the correct side.
Did he just say this 14 civic si got about a thousand horsepower on it?
Mone Vilaysing yes but he was just being sarcastic/funny
Should the spherical joint move ?? Mine seems stuck to one side
should have some movement shouldn't be totally stuck
@@ABrianLewisVlog thanks so much for the reply
THANKS HOMIE‼️
FROM THE ROTTEN APPLE 🍎
thanks for watching!
Did u have any issues installing the 14mm bolt behind the hub? I bought a set for my si and the 14mm bolt won’t fit through the spacers on the LCA.
vtecgod99 I didn’t have any issues
Mine come with the little metal spacers as well
A Brian Lewis Vlog ok. I check the part number to make sure it was the right control arms everything matched up. I’m at a loss.
Had this issue with godspeeds. Hoping the skunk2 doesn't have the same issue.
Why isn’t the adjustable nuts turning for me?
hard to say without seeing it in person
So there's no way to adjust camber in the front unless you have camber plates up top right?
correct
mines out because my car was wrecked when I bought it
they sell camber bolts
If only the suspension was similar to the EM1...
Would you recommend an air wrench to remove bolts or all by hand?
air or power tools for sure for removing be careful when going back on and start a few threads by hand first.
great video
Thank you 😊
I am an adjustable control arm factory from China
So I look at the website where you bought the arms is that the price for the set ? Or just one?
Alfredo Garay for the set
Hey I'm from KY too!!
😎
At 5:36 after you do that which screw you tighten so it can stick
Both outer nuts tighten against middle nut. One will go clock wise the other counter clock wise.
@@ABrianLewisVlog THANKS MAN!! a shop let me go home with one back wheel straight and the other cambered 😡
Dang that’s no good! Hope you get it lined out.
How long of a job is This? Local shops say 2 hrs install per side, I call bs on That but could be wrong
Hopped Up Honda's I call bs as well I adjusted my coilovers in the rear(took off the strut bolt) and only took me about an hour for both sides. It’s just taking off 3 bolts should only take an hour for both sides.
It took me maybe an hour and half not counting the alignment
Is it the same install for a ex or lx?
not sure
I need some of those dope ass lug nuts lol
You need new tires
If you watched the video you would’ve heard him say he wanted to get different tires
