hey i was talking to someone the other day about my suspension.. I have eibach SL springs and im about to order me KYB AGX shocks.... but this guy told me if i dropped my car my tires would be slanted.. i guess hes talken about like this / \.. and my tires would wear out unevenly which woulnd void the waranty to my tires.. he said i could buy something to stop it from wearing out unevenly.. any clue guys? I tried to search but i couldnt find anything.. thanks for the help! :happysad:

 

Camber kit! Do it... dropping your car too much will cause the tires to wear too fast in some spots, and will look incredibly stupid if you're going for a clean look IMO.

I think a good spot to shoot at is maybe like 1 degree negative camber... I think that's what integras are close to at stock. I think I've also read that a 3 degree camber has some nice cornering benefits, but I think you should stay away from anything greater than like 5 degrees. An adjustable camber kit will help you get your wheels back at the right angle.

 

yeah the guy was definetly talking about a camber kit

 

Get a skunk 2 camber kit, they are good. They have em on groupbuycenter.com and modacar.com

 

ok cool thanks guy.. I guess i have to get a camber kit and my shockss before putting anything on.. I like to put everything on at once

 

i found a group buy at sells em for 188.99 free shipping.. modacar.com sells em for 215.00.. dunno how much shipping is though.. dont they give HAN members discounts? Anyone know anywher else that is cheaper or are those good prices?

 

han member discount is $10 off over $100 purchase. why not get an ingalls kit? they are about $40-50 cheaper and works fine as long as your car isnt extremely dropped.

 

Do not get a camber kit unless your camber is severely out of spec. In general, you should mount up your new shocks & springs, take it to an alignment shop, see what they say, and then make a decision on camber adjustment. Otherwise, you'll just be wasting money.


How low will those springs drop you?

 

looked on the website.. says around 1.8"

 

You should be fine without a camber kit. Get an alignment, ask them for a printout, and ask the opinion of the guy at the alignment shop. If you're still concerned, post your alignment numbers in the Track & Autocross forum and they'll set you straight.


Some negative camber is good. In fact, it'll help you handle better.
