Lowered car good tow, bad traction in rain.
Recently i dropped my car 2 inches, i do not have a camber kit but i had the tow adjusted so that my tires wouldn't wear as prematurely as they would if i had not had it adjusted. I noticed though in the rain now that it seems the negative camber is making my car hydroplane really bad compared to before. Does anyone else have this problem running negative camber on their lowered integra? I am thinking about getting a camber kit but i want to see if anyone else had this problem and fixed it with a camber kit. thanks

No matter what, get a camber kit. For how cheap they are they save your tires, axles, and misc. suspension/steering components. I can't imagine 2" being that dramatic on your handling in the rain, but it all really depends on how much contact the tires treads have with the road. Obviously if you are down and out /_/--\_\ like so your edges (that wear out faster) are going to be the only thing really holding you to the road and usually on the edges of tires are the channels that wik away water.

My integra has both front and rear camber kits and the camber is set to zero, lowered 2.25 and handls perfect, it will save you money in the long run on other parts
