anywho i got my camber and what not aligned couple months ago after lowering my fronts. My rears were still on stockies due to a broken LCA bolt. So after 3 months i got my rears done. Now i also lowered my fronts another 1/2 to an 1 inch. and dropped the rears 3 inches. i went to get my car realigned at Sears and they wont do it...its to low..which it isnt....the car handles great. camber seems ok. do i even need to get it readjusted and waste another 50? i know you cant really eye it. but i dotn want to waste another 50 if i dont have too.....and yes my *** end is ******* bouncy almost like a pogo stick....good struts will solve this? oh ont sure if it matters but i do have a camber kit in the front.

 

get it aligned or else you will regret it later when your buying new tires

 

get it aligned. you may not notice now but you will later. I went throught 2 sets of tires befor I learned.

 

yea the first time i dropped it my camber was off like i forget what degree but it was about 3-4 inches camber. i wetn through new tires in 2 months...inside completely bald outside still had teh stubbles

 

camber is not your tire's enemy. it's toe in or out. that will chew up your tires 100 times faster than camber. If no alignment shop will do it, take it to a local community college with alignment course. They usually have good equipment, and will align anything they can get on the rack.

hope this helps... good luck

 

well i meant i had 3-4 inch toe out? like / \ i guess?

 

sears probably means that its too low to get on the alignment rack, the rack is a couple of feet off the ground and has a steep up ramp my crx cant go on one, i bring mine to a race shop that does it with some lazers and some levels and this string thing, dont know what it is but the alignment comes out perfect

 

i dont have any race shops or anything even remotely close to that around here

 

go to a les schwab... if you have one where you are at... the one over here has an alignment rack made for lowered cars.

 

HA! wth is a les schawab? man the closest thing to an import related store here is wal mart....yea....we got nothing!

3-4 inches toe out? Holy crap. How is that possible without bending something? I have 1/8 inches tow out by comparison. BTW, toe out refers to the leading edge of the wheels. I can't tell if it's \ / or / \ because it depends on which way the car is facing (up or down).

If you are happy with the camber, you can adjust the toe yourself. Check out threads like this and see if you want to give it a shot:

There are a few other methods out there but I like this one.

 

wow thats hardcore! means the the top part of the tire is facing in / \ wasnt pretty.

 

btw a good shock would fix teh bouncing right? i was thinking about the kyb adjustables. becaue the rear of my car bounces like none other.

 

hey loco, i had the kyb's on my g/f civic with 3" of drop and they bounced more then ther stock shocks. they say only 1 1/2" to 2" of drop and thats all maybe 2 1/2". maybe some knows sumthing i dont but like said kyb's busted on my @ 3". when i low my CRX im 4" total and puttin in the stiffest spring i can find

 

ARGH!!! ok then thats down teh drain....if the kyb busted how about teh illuminas(SP?) from tokico. i was thinking if im about to spend 400 on just struts i should just go ahead and get the omnis.... what cha think? i dont want.....but damn it!
