Default new tires and a new drop

Well i got my new tires in and i put them on and dropped it like its supposed to be. its dropped about 3 1/2" all around. so now comes the camber kit next.

the tires are Hankook Ventus Hrii H405. these tires are awesome. very very sticky, and excellent in the rain. i definitly recomend these.

Nice car...reminds me of mine a while ago.
I'd raise it a little in the back. Seems to sit lower than at the front.

A real easy way to find out is to take a tape measure, and measure ground-fender distance.

Car is too low.

A camber kit up front will only make the upper control arms hit the frame at that height. That is, if you even have enough travel left for the suspension to even move . . .

Looks good but it looks like you need to raise up the back a bit. It looks lower than the front.

When you post up pictures of you car on Honda-tech your not supposed to post up your plates. That may lead to putting you car in danger. Anyone can get your adress at the DMV by your lisence plate number.

Thats a 3inch drop??

Looks like a 2.5 inch drop.

Anyways, raise the back up a bit and lower the front just a bit.

You'll be set.

Default Re: new tires and a new drop (TougeCRX)

To measure the correct drop first you needed to know the height before the drop at all 4 corners. The proper way is to make sure the car is on level ground and take a meaurement from the centerline of the axle to the top of the fender well. This will take out any errors from tire size and tire pressure miscalculations. I dropped my crx but I forgot to measure pre height. I have a Progressive coil over system. The front was 12" and the rear was 13". Kept blowing my front struts. Progressive said rear was a little high, front was not too low. All corners are 12 1/4" now and suspension feels great. It only rubs a little going into steep driveways. I have 205/40 17's on the car. Hope this helps.
