Hey,

Just finished installing my Omnipower full coilovers for my 00 civic ex. So far, no big problems, i do have a few questions however.

1) whenever i hit a bump, i hear a thumping noise coming from the rear, like something is in my trunk hitting against the sides. is this normal?

2) can someone tell me how to adjust the height of the coilovers now that they are installed? the instructions on that were kinda vague. what all do i need to loosen in order to lower/raise it?

3) im going to be getting an alignment in about a week after i get my rims, i have the front camber kit and the front looks fine, however the rear is a lil iffy. (see below) whats an acceptable amount of camber?

4) if my rear camber is off too much, i will prolly do the washer trick, what/how many washers/bolts will i need, what kind?

i think thats all for now. thanks in advance.

You shouldn't hear thumping in your trunk. Are all of you bolts torqued to spec?

Is it only when you go over bumps too fast? Maybe you just aren't used to stiff suspension. Is it like a dull thud, or more of a clank like something is loose?

its a dull thud..

Oh... does anyone know if when i get my alignment, they say my rear camber is off too much and i do the trick, will i need it aligned again? also, what size/kind bolt/washers will i need? and does anyone have a good DIY with pictures, the ones ive found dont have pics

u might wanna send 18secondferio a mesage...i think he did the washer trick and it took away like 2.5 degrees of camber

You need to read my DIY civic suspension right here in HAN. Washer trick at the bottom.

Camber correction by shim washers depends on the thickness of the washer, although I'm guesstimating that 1 washer thick per 0.75" drop.

You must do your alignment AFTER all suspension modifications. Everytime you modify the suspension, you change the geometry. Washer trick inclusive.
