How low before I need a camber kit?
How low can I go on a '93 ex without using a camber kit? I was thinking of using H&R race springs. Will I need both front and rear? What inexpensive manufactures do you recommend? Any and all help is appreciated, thank you. The springs lower 2.75F, 2.25R, and will 205/40R17's rub?

I had a 92 SI, it went about a year before I noticed any uneven tire wear. They were H&R's too, but do yourself a favor and just do the camber kit at the same time you lower your car, no sense tearing it apart twice you know. Not sure on what kind to get, but you should be able to pick one up for arounf 150

I had the exact same setup on my 94 ex and yes you will need a camber kit unless you want to buy tires every 4 months. the rear tires rubbed on mine with my 17's. Just rolled up the fenders

I dropped mine 3 inchs and my 40 series Kumho's were totally ripped open after 6,000 miles and my other sides were fine . I have a Sprint Extreme Camber kit now.

Weird. I never had a problem with tire wear. I had 205/45/R16's. No rubbing either. Maybe cause mine was an SI???

get the camber kit before hand, save on tires later, Id probably buy the skunk2 kit for up front, Ive got an ingalls up front, but ive heard of people having problems with the upper control arm hitting up in the fender with the Ingalls, mine hasnt yet, but i think if i add any more camber i will have to make a notch or something for it, or sell it and get a skunk2 front, rear, some people use bushings, i just went ahead and bought the ingalls rear, its simple and i eyeballed my camber in the rear and took to get it aligned, i was right on the money with eyeballin the rear.
