okay, well im getting my 17" wheels installed tommorow with 205/40/ nittos, and i gotta redo my whole suspension cuz its a peice of crap. im lowering my car 1.75 front 1.5 in the back, would i need a camber kit? would i only need 2 for the front? denk ***.

 

haha you cant say ***. h:

i would get one. you probably can get away with having 1-2 degrees of negative camber though. just dont forget the all important alignment afterwards, and also rotating the tires.

and if you want to adjust your camber, you need 1 set for the front, and can use shims (washers) in the rear.

 

I lowered my car 2 inches and went without an alignment for 3 years. No problems at all. Maybe it was something I should have done sooner, but even when I got around to getting it done, it wasn't as off as it should have been.

 

you really shouldnt need a camber kit with that small of a drop

 

What did you try to say? Whats up with this censoring crap? Since when is HAN rated-PG? :ghey:

 

On my 94 I dropped with Sportline springs and was going through a set of front tires in 5 months. Bought a $100 kit off ebay, tires started last more than 18 months. took me 2 yrs to do that though h:

 

I would definitely get a camber kit for the front, you may be OK on the rear. I too went through many sets of tires because of negative camber and it was with sportline springs. Unless you like paying for new tires very often it's worth it to get the camber kit. Just make sure you get an alignment immediately after the kit is installed or your tires will wear even worse from the toe problem.

 

you got lucky. :happysad:

refers back to the user yoolykeme.

 

alignments are most often ignored, but it is vital for tire wear/life, handling, mileage, steering wheel feel/shimmy, among other things.

the rear spec on integras can go as far negative as -2 degrees camber, but you dont want the rear to have more negative camber than the front because that will induce even more understeer than we already have.

for a 1.75 drop, it'll be cutting it close, but i still think you'll need a front camber kit for the sake of reducing the lever effect on your steering knuckle/ spindles, which not only gives you a better ride quality, but a bigger contact patch to the road which gives you more traction.

 

I dont think you really need a camber kit.

But you know back in the day, in Japan the cool thing to do was to have your car camber as much as it can...NO JOKE! Kind of like if you had air bags
