Default Yet another suspension question.

It's my understanding that the Type-R is approximately 1" lower than other Integra models. So with that in mind, if you take a Type R, install KONI Sport dampers with Eibach Sportline springs (approx lower 1.7" front and back for non Type R vehicles) then are you going to lower the R approx .7" or about 3/4 inch? Am I thinking of this correctly? And the main question, would camber be adversely affected? I understand it will probably lean a little more negative than stock specs, but I imagine with less than 1" lowering, camber will still be within spec. Or does the Type R suspension respond differently to lowering when regarding camber? Thanks for any info.

I'll have to check mine too. I have the lowdowns and haven't gotten an alignment since the install (around June this year I think) .

kf_Type_R, do you have the stock tires on or wider tires? I thought that if you have wider tires it would sway the results in one direction or the other.

I'm currently still riding on the stock tires, but soon to be replaced with some Falken Azenis. I'm probably going to get a 205/50-15 tire. I can imagine that this would affect alignment settings, never thought of that.

What did the specs come out to be after lowering 3/4"? The one main thing I was trying to avoid was rapid uneven tire wear. You're not experiencing that with the .75" drop are you?

camber is not going to affect the tire wear as much as the toe alighnment will.
