when you put on the pro kit, what happened to your camber? My front camber is pretty much unaffected, no worries there...but the rear wheels look like i have negative camber to the tune of 8 degrees or so...i'm waiting to get my front shocks on before i get the alignment...but i'm concerned that the alignment won't fix it...did you have a similar thing happen? if my camber is truely off, what do i do to fix it?

thanks

this sounds like the eibach pro kit "problem" thread. I am still in the market for springs and had eibach prokit pretty much set, but now........... I may have to look into the stech's.

The first image is the left side and the second is the right side of my rear suspension. I tried to get the same angle when i took both pictures so you could see the difference. its not a huge difference...buts it's there.


any ideas? or is this just something that happens when eibach and civics get together?

Ok lots of good info and bad info in here.

First, check that the spring is rotated till it is seated right. The end of the spring should butt up against the shock seat. Also were you very careful that you have the front sprimngs on the front and the rears on the rear? Different spring rates will cause different ride heights.

Next, there is absolutely NO bolt you turn to adjust camber on ANY stock Honda with double wishbone suspension. What model civic are we talking about? the 96-01 had what "looked" like tons of camber stock so lowering it will only exxagerate the look. Don't go by looks, get an alignment.
