Suspension
I just had new struts all the way around installed and it still rides f*!&%$ rough. I dont know what the hell. Lowering springs maybe? And also does anyone know where I can get a good front and rear camber kits? I need those installed

Maybe you just need some time for them to break in? Since they're new they probably need to settle in or something...

1. If you installed performance struts, of course its going to be rough.
2. Why do you need a camber kit for stock springs? |
Are you running performance or stock struts? If performance, are they on stock springs? If so, then chalk that up to your crappy ride. What brand of parts do you currently have on your suspension? Also I don't see a camber issue causing that much of a harsh ride.

NM, now i realize what your problem is. You have a 2" drop on 17" rims! No shit youre gonna have a harsh ride.

Did you just replace the struts again or is this the same problem as back in Feb? Did you ever change the springs out? |
First time replacing the struts they installed some gas type struts. I have a two in drop with type r lowering springs and they have been on for about a yr and an half. I wanted to camber my rears cause i didnt do it before so I can get smaller wheels.

But as far as camber kits, get an alignment done first to fix any issues if you haven't already. Every car acts different so don't just assume you need to drop cash for a camber kit. Once you get the car in spec, go to a wheel shop and have them throw on the size tire you want. If they're halfway trained they should be able to determine if there will be any rubbing or anything once the wheel is on. And then go from there. And as far as places to get them go, you're just going to have to search for the best deal. Skunk 2 and Ingalls seem to be a pretty common choice but I'm sure some others can recommend more brands for you. |
I also have a ?. I got a 2000 civic dx 4 door sadan on 18"s w/ 35 series falkens & when I drive it it seems to rock alot? It's only got 67000 miles on it and it well taken care of, I could hold the wheel with both hands & one knee, and steering wheel stays straight but car sways left and right like I'm drunk or somthing. Could anybody please give me soe clue on where I SHONLD START? Either steering knuckle, struts, any help???????
