i just installed h&r springs, koni yellows, and a progress camber kit on my 94 civic ex coupe...took it to get the alignment done and they said the rear toe was off.
on the drivers it was +.20
on the passengers it was +.30
any ideas on how to fix? they said because it was lowered id have to buy something else for the rear.....all the camber was corrected, their is alot of torgue steer? anyone with these symptoms help me out....
thanks honda fans

dude did u get it right ? camber cannot be adjusted on a honda without having a camber kit. the toe is easy to adjust and the shop shouldn't have any problems doing it. i can't explain you how to do it, but the shop ahould do it. if the say "we can't" better find another shop

torque steer ? how is yor fron camber ? did they even look at the caster angle ?

yeah they brought it all back to stock. ive got the spec sheet somewhere....if i got hosed i really cant say anything because theyre not supposed to work on lowered cars...i brought it back in and told them that all you have to do is move the rear lower control arm and tighten the bolts until the toe is fixed...he said it was from lowering the car so much you cant fix it anymore? all i know is i payed 77 dollars for this and im afraid to drive it so i dont ruin the tires.

hondaman, when you got your konis installed, were they set all the way loose?
