wassup bros, i had a quick question and i thank you in advance for any advice. I originally had neuspeed race springs (2 inch drop/rear 2.5 drop/front) I exchanged these springs for H & R OE sport springs. .75 drop.

I had purchased a skunk 2 extreme camber kit (for cars dropped over 2 inches) but i never put it on. My question is would this camber kit work for the H & R springs even though its a lesser drop than 2"? Should i install the kit or just sell it?

Thanks

The camber kit will work, but you don't need it. If you ever plan to swap springs for something lower, then it would be a good idea to have. I would put it on.

so you don't think a .75" drop will negatively affect the camber?

just remember... its not really the camber that is jacking up your tires... its the toe. Shops can fix the toe without a camber kit...

finally someone actaully knows the "secret" on how dropped cars [not slammed] dont need camber kits. but yes it is very true, get your toe set and your good. oem civic camber range is -1 &lt;&gt;+1

I'm running over 2* in the rear (you can see the camber) and nearly 2* in the front with no wear; but I got an alignment right after I installed my springs. I run summer performance tires and have a seperate set for the track. 1 year, no wear problems. I actually need to get a camber kit to dial in more camber on track days because I'm scrubbing the outside shoulder of my Falkens.

Camber doesn't kill tires, toe does. Get an alingment every time you touch your suspension.

are u from the so cal ... if u are do u know any places that align lower cars....because i dont....would u know any places ..thanks...

No, sorry. When I lowered mine, I had to bring it into the body shop (was hit by a plow right before) and asked them if they had an alignment station. They didn't, but they contracted their work out with a shop down the street.

I'd look in the yellow pages and start calling performance shops that do work. There has to be one around somewhere.

Thanks for the responses. Top notch replies.

Since i'll stick with the H & R springs i'll prolly just sell my camber kit.
