Default How low can I go???

The suspension thread isn't to active so I thought i would try here.

I have a 1990 civic hatch and want to lower it. Whats the maximum I can lower it without f*cking up my camber with springs only? I want to have a little suspension travel, haha.
AND yes i have searched to all those people that seem to just go around telling people to search and found nothing.

Well i would'nt go lower that 2.0max. If you want to go lower i would suggest getting a camber kit.

If you do decide to go lower you can fix the rear camber with jsut washers. and you can get a front kit for fairly cheap(under $100)

Is it an SI?
I'd just drop it about 1.5", and get a 15" wheel.

Oh yeah tue. But I just want to give it a better look. I don't want to slam it to the ground or anything, just wondering where i'll be safe without spending an arm and a leg. It's a dx if that matters

True a camber kit is good for any type of drop. I was just stating to not go under 2.0max cause anything after that is gonna cause extremem camber wear
