Default lowering my eg6..got questions

my eg6 is way too low and im thinking about putting my stock springs back on.. but is there any other way.. where i can get that perfect drop where my tread on my tires wont get messed up.. that the tread is equal and that not only 1 side of the tires tread doesn't get messed up... need help.. is there any other stock springs the make the car look lowered..?

i think he was wondering if he can correct his camber because his car is so low.
either way, get some adjustable springs (i recommend eibach ground control's) and buy a camber kit. if you have the cash, buy some good shocks too.

Coil-overs+ Camber kit. Do it the right way the first time, and you'll have no problems

this is what happens when you lower a car. The camber is going to change. The only way around it is to make it adjustable. Put in front and rear camber kits and get the car aligned. Don't even get me going about adjustable coil overs.

How low is the drop? The simple answer is to get a camber kit. My Civic is dropped on Neuspeed sport springs with no camber kit and I have not had any uneven wear, there is slight camber in the rear but nothing major, but of course the lower you go the worse it get and camber kits become more necessary.

you just have to use coilovers and make your wheel even with your fender and get a camber kit you can get a camber kit now but if your car is slammed its just going to push the top of the wheel out and you'll rub on the fender

Just for the record, you don't have an EG6. You probably have an EH2.
