Default New build

Gonna be a while but I figured my first post should be where the thing is coming from. It will be a while in making since I am in school with only a part time job plus rent due. My plan is to be a fun daily driver that's clean and it has potential. 95 LS with 2000 front and rear conversion. LS-V with low mods so I can do what I want She sits on ebays with blown struts right now so first things first is new suspension. I'm thinking the Megan EZ coilovers. Next is to find the front camber problem. Both are really negative and shouldn't be. From there is new wheel setup. 15x7 +30 is my first thought. Then to make it handle how I want it to and to go like I want. Possibly some new paint. Let me know what you guys think and feel free to give suggestions.

front camber problem? It looks like you're lowered, so without camber kit you will get negative camber since integra's have a double wishbone suspension. Only way to fix the camber is to raise the car or get camber kits.

Yeah its just really negative and is different between the two sides. Confuses me. I'm gonna end up getting a Skunk 2 kit for it anyway.

I think it got a new windshield and didn't put the trim back on. Or somebody stole it. Cheap at a junkyard. Also need the trunk cargo separator thingy.

Its going to be different, the weight of the car is not even all around. I'm pretty sure the driver side is the heavier side of the car.

Thanks everyone. Going home this weekend to get the new chipped ecu and to slam V the way it should. I am beyond excited. Also going to get some problems figured out with the doors and repaint these god aweful color matched wiper arms. Some people have no taste.
