I had a question about dropping the car... I have a 94 Accord 4Dr Ex and when I got it, it was already dropped about 2.5 inches. And since lately Ive been rubuilding the head, I notice that when I took of the tires the inside of them were starting to wear out and you can start to see the little wires. Does anyone know that if dropping the car it makes the tires like that becuase it tucks in or could it be that the springs were cut out and thats why it tucks?

probably alignment and your camber/toe

tRaCeYoUiNcHaLk · 03-17-2007, 08:13 PM

Could be. My dad took it to his friend's shop today and said that the springs were cut out. And said that I need some kits for the suspension so that the wheel can be straight verticle...

camber + lack of alignment springs that are cut are ghettttttoooo

upgrade your suspension immediately

Better Springs + Camber Kit + Alignment=

Good to go!...also new tires lol

bottom line you need new tires they will continue to wear un-even after the alignment is correct camber kit or not the damage is already done to the tires.

Just going to ordered some camber kit for 80 bucks and put them in.. and get new tires and alignment and im good to go so i think... lol

TouringAccord · 03-18-2007, 09:12 AM

so you are going to stay with cut springs

tRaCeYoUiNcHaLk · 03-18-2007, 07:41 PM

Well to tell you the truth im pretty sure its just the camber kit that needs to be put in becuase that has a negative pull on my tire and when i put them in it will straighten it out. and then ill get new tires and on the long run get springs

whoaaa's

Some people just dont listen

If you can see wires in the tires you need new tires immediately. I wouldn't wait at all on the tires I'd do them now. As for the cut springs I'd go ahead and replace them too.

get your toe set at 0 or lower, and it should stop most of the tire wear.

cut springs is a different story. not only does it make your car ride horrible and bounce all over the place, but it could have a very negative affect on handling, which could be dangerous. at least replace them with something like eibach.

tRaCeYoUiNcHaLk · 03-19-2007, 10:36 AM

yea i was thinkin of gettin the pro kit from eibach. and the struts too. But I need to get the toe's too? Not jus the camber kit?
