whats up everyone, today i got my tires installed and my old tires were worn out very bad due to camber probs. the guy at the tire shop said that i need lowering springs adn not camber kits to fix the prob cause its not that bad. i cut my springs a long time ago LOL ok i know im stupid for doing this. but is it true that if i get lower springs it will fix the problem or a goop alignment. thanks.

 

Go and have them check the camber and see it that is causing the problem.
I never heard of springs fixing camber??

 

Springs dont fix it you need to upgrade your camber kit or get it adjusted but in your case with cut springs I get new springs and camber kit and get it install at the same time then go for the wheel alighnment ASAP. That will fix your problem

New springs & Camber plates.

 

thanks for the responses, i agree with u guys, but since the guy said that i thought id make sure since hes a "professional" where can i get camber kits and what are some good ones..im going to get H&R's hopefully this weekend if my wallet allows me to.

 

anyone??? please

 

I have brand new pair of ingalls in the boxes if you want to buy.

 

send me the info @ vtecrb23@yahoo.com wit the price and stuff thanks

 

I have Progress kit in the front and the washer trick in the back and it works great. Also, which H&R were you planning to get? I have the H&R Race and its pretty low, just to let you know.

 

I did the washer trick in the back also. I used two washers and it fixed it pretty well.

 

forgive me for asking, but whats the washer trick? is there any like to show this method?

 

This is from the gen2 teg site check it out one the site there are pictures. Click on teg tips, then go to exterior, then scroll down to rear camber correction. I know that it works on gen2 tegs but I am not sure about gen3.

Correcting Camber in Rear Wheels.

If you want to get rid of negative camber because it's eating your tires you can do this:

1- Jack up your Integra and remove the wheel.
2- There's an arm that attaches to the car right besides the gas tank when you look straight through the wheel well and it has two bolts attaching it to the car.
3- Remove these two bolts and insert metal washers between the arm and the car and reinstall again.
4- Number of washers or thickness depends on how low your car is dropped. Mine is dropped 2" in the back and I used (2) 1/16 washers at each bolt i.e. (4) washers for each wheel. If your car is dropped more you'll need more washers but have to get a longer bolt too. Good luck.
5- Camber correction for the fronts however requires purchasing a camber kit OR some really heavy duty modifications to the front fender OR bending the "spindles." (the last two are not good and not recommended)

Get a good set of springs.
Then go for an alignment.

Camber isnt what kills you tires, its the Toe. When you lower your car the suspension geometry is changed. You can keep the camber where it is right now, just get the toe set to zero front and rear. The tires should wear pretty evenly if rotated.
