Hey guys, im new to modding, new to tuning, and new to racing. I was hoping someone could help me out. I bought some stiffer, lower springs for my 1995 Honda Civic DX hatchback, NEUSPEED race 2.25" lower springs, everything else is stock, what do i do about alignment for road track use? and what about street? if you need any other info please let me know, and please explain what your saying becuase it will be like speaking in french to me

 

Depending on how serious you are about racing, you can choose to install a camber kit to adjust camber/caster to your needs. There are many threads in this section on alignment settings and what they can effect. You won't generally find a cookie-cutter recipe for setting up your suspension, it's going to be trial and error; and a compromise between performance (straight line vs. curves) and treadwear.

 

I just want to to drive right mainly, since the springs will make it screwy..

 

First, go to an alignment shop and have them set your toe to factory spec front and rear. Have the measure your camber, and then you can decide if you need a camber kit for additional adjustment. You don't even need to know what any of that means. Just say "I put new springs on, fix my toe and tell me what my camber is."

 

hahahahaha okay thanks

 

For really good turn-in, and good high speed stability, I run 0 toe in the rear, and like 1/16" toe out in the front. Not enough to make it crazy in the straights or on the street, but turn-in is sharp and responsive. I'm running about -1.8* camber everywhere.
