    Excesive Camber?

    Hello and thanks for taking some time to read this! I appreciate it alot.

    THE ISSUE
    Issue #1
    I've got a new set of Progress sport springs on the accord with GR-2s. I also replace the upper control arms. HERE IS WHAT I'M WONDERING. When I went to get an alignment I was told that I had excessive camber on the drivers side wheel (-) 3.7 as opposed to the passanger side wheel (-) 1.7. What could be causing this HUGE difference?
    Issue #2
    I got the toe set out 1/16" on the front, and in 1/16" rear. On the rear the alignment redkneck showed that he used 1/32" rt 1/32" lft. = 1/16".
    However, on the front he went 1/16" rt and 0" lft. = 1/16".
    I feel he just got lazy and this is not the correct way to align it. The toe should be equal on both sides. Now the car pulls to the RIGHT, and the steering wheel is not centered at all!
    My question is this: should I go back and demand that he use the 1/32 rt/lft?
    Also should I demand that the steering wheel be center when done?
    I spent $$$53.95 for this and I'm not satisfied!

    CAUSES
    When I replaced the upper control arms the drivers side had a brass plate that the bolts going into the engine bay went through. The passanger side DID NOT HAVE THIS. Wondering if that could be the problem?
    Also the could it just be that my GR-2 is just very weak on that side? It is over 2 yrs old, they were on the car when we purchased it.

    What is the BEST camber kit to purchase? I'm not looking for a super cheap ghetto way of fixing anything but a reliable good quality part. Its probably not ebay. I've been looking at Engals, Neuspeed has some stuff I believe also.

    Thanks for everyones help in advance!

    If there was an extra plate on one side of the control arm, that could make a camber difference.

    If you drive a bunch, toe in/out should be avoided as it is the killer of all tires. It will handle better on the course, not too much since the amounts are pretty small. He def. did the toe wrong on the front. 55 bux isnt too much, but it should be done right.

    But I would take out that plate from the one side, and take it back and have him fix it.

    If that doesnt solve the problem, it could be from something being bent from that sliding off the road incident.
