if i put on coilovers, will i need to get a wheel alignment and a camber kit or will it go in without any problems?

MrExclusive

You would need an alignment and imo a camber kit isnt necessary but they are several arguments about whether you need camber kit or not. You should be fine with just an alignment.

camber kits are not required but its the only way to get rid of camber on a lowerd car.
with a 4 wheel alignment you will be fine.

It depends on how much you drop it. You could always drop it and then if camber is off bad get a camber kit.

i recommend getting a camber kit no matter how low you drop it just to save your tires but no its not something you absolutely need. ALIGNMENT IS REQUIRED

what really wastes your tires is having you TOE off
i would do it just to fix the toe if it goes off

h22a4_sol

yup toe is a bitch when it off it eats your tires up like if you were burning rubber alllllll day. camber doesnt so much since its not really a resistance problem more of a look problem but eats tires VERY VERY VERY slowly

absolutely get an alignment, but make sure they are capable and don't have some chucklehead who isn't going to not care about your car, drag it the whole way up onto the rack and mutter "****in ricers stupid honda" the whole time.

^^ yeah take it to some1 who doesnt discriminate on what kind of car it is. i have people that do that **** call us ricer's cuz they have a v8. but when our ricey *** cars walk their asses anyday anyhow they wont be calling us ricers

A good mechanic/tech will take it as a challenge. Thats what innovation is all about. Anyway yes make sure the toe angle is close to zero. Camber is up to you. Personally I run no less than -1.5 to aid in cornering grip.

Very true, i had to put a dirty high school dropout towtruck driver in his place that was a typical v8 meathead. He also deserved it because he was the rudest piece of **** i've ever met. He works for Diamond Auto in Greensburg, PA BTW just so there's no confusion. While he was loading my girlfriends EM1 onto a flatbed he just kept making comments about how "only these ****ing hondas scrape" (her EM1 is lowered about 1.5", so it's nowhere near crushed) "i hate these ****ing jap cars" etc etc...after another comment about how "only hondas scrape" i asked him "oh really? so what happens when you have to tow a corvette?" his reply was "oh, they go right on, no problems" my reply was "i'm sure they do"

when i first lowered my old EG8 my toe clocked in at -.88 i aligned it with a final reading of +.23. Now, that is still out of spec but that is more to compensate for tire wear, which after that i never had a problem with.
