I don't think there is much adjustment without camber plates so probably as much negative as you can get. I believe you will be in STX with the Eibachs, but I'm not positive.

Correct, the 06+ Si goes to STX, not STS, thanks to having a gear type limited slip. Honda has camber kits available, or its adjustable stock, since its legal for the car to adjust camber in stock class. Just ballparking it, I'd say you want -2.0 to -2.5 degrees up front and -1.5 to -2.0 degrees rear. The only way to really know how much you need is to get out there and get some data points, especially in respect to tire temps across the tread after a run.

WTF are you talking about? You can get like -0.5 degrees from the crash bolts maybe, but that's all that's allowed in stock class.

I forget where I saw but I think Sport Compact Car mentioning that Hondas with MacPherson suspensions you want to keep at stock height unless you really get stiffer springs. They said most cars like the RSX when you lowered then their handling gets worse UNLESS you prevent the car from compressing the springs.

But for an good starting point I would go with 0 toe front and back. Gives you a more neutral feel and doesn't chew up tires. With my 91 Civic Si I ran 1/8th toe out front and back and it handled great at the expense of chewing up the tires more.

Also if you can get as much negative camber as you can since you are going into STX. My 91 had -2.8 front and -2.2 rear.

I ran - 1.6 in the front and 0 in the rear for camber last year with camber plates. I'm hoping to get -2.5 in the front and keep 0 in the rear with the addtion of some camber bolts. If you are looking for rotation you don't want any static negative camber in the rear as it gains camber under compression.

Update. I got the alignment and was able to get -2.2 camber in the front. For the rear I had it at -.5.
