need to complete the image. Once we see how tucked they are, we can tell you how much damage there will be. I think you should get a camber kit anyway.

how bout a pic directly at the back

nighttrain33

Not quite directly enough, but it looks like you will need a camber kit from what I see.

What kind of car is that behind your car? Looks like an old school RX-7 or Supra.

nice username

Who lowers a car by lines on coilovers..Uhh well i was just saying that by 2.5 inches of lower you are starting to pull in the camber of the rear tires on a civic..and i think that on tegs the fronts start needing them instead of back..Any way you either need to raise it for now (unless you want to wear down your tires) or go out and buy a camber kit. Easy installation and Good product.

Also what happened to your front rims..why the steelies..

Get a camber kit; they are only like $110.00 anyway and are worth the $$.

I'm wondering the same exact thing.

If you're tucked and put on a camber kit you will most likely rub.

That's the street racer look, black steelies up front and alloys in the rear. Ya know...gotta keep the drag tires on the car at all times!

How about you just go get an alignment and have the toe set to zero.

If it's for the rear, why spend so much? You can just shim the rears for 10 bucks in bolts and washers. As someone already mentioned, the more important thing here is to get an alignment done and make sure they zero out the toe and your tires will be fine even with the negative camber so long as you rotate the tires on a regular basis.

If you're low enough to be tucking you'll need to get some camber kits unless you don't value the tread life of your tires...

If your running enough rear camber (-3 or -4 degrees) then it will wear tires faster, but still not as fast as toe will wear them. So if you value the tread life of your tires, get your toe zeroed out. If you don't believe me, search the suspension forum.

BoOstedEM1

OK so both ways just get camber kit.. Alignment ..with toe zero. But either way if you dont youll be spending more money on tires. Uhh about the camber and toe thing.. I droped my EM1 a year ago 3+ inches and had so much camber that i wore true a set of toyo proxe z24s. In less than 3 months with zero toe..cause i listen to the forums..it doesnt cost much just around 110 for camber kit. Just get it and find those missing rims.

civicboisi

well...get an alignment CHECK first too see how far off the camber really is before you blow the 110 bucks or whatever it is...Then if it does need a camber kit, then buy them.
