hey i just did a search, i just got the neuspeed sport springs for my 01 lude and i heard from the search that i dont need a camber kit when i install it is that true??? i still have the oem rims on there and if i get new ones thwy will still be 16's...lmk appreciate it

 

how low are/did you lower it? you dont NEED camber kit but if you slam it there good to have less you enjoy replacing tires often

 

you can always just adjust your tow. . .( i think thats how you spell it.)

 

how do you adjust the toe> thats how you spell it!

 

i think with the neuspeed sport springs its a 1.7 drop in the front and 1.5 in the back

 

Here's the deal: install the springs, drive for ~500 miles to let the springs settle, get an alignment. With the toe properly adjusted at an alignment shop, you can usually avoid significantly accelerated tire wear but you need to rotate your tires every 3k miles now. If the camber is well below the -1.0 degree factory recommended limit, consider purchasing a camber kit. If you get one, install it and get the car aligned again.

I would not be surprised if your camber in the front is below -1.0 - the Neuspeed Sports tend to lower 1 3/4" in the front once they settle in. You might be able to get by without a kit, but having one for the front is probably not a bad idea. I'd strongly recommend the Progress adjustable ball joints for the front in your case.

 

I have the nuespeed race spring(2.25" front, 2.0" rear) and I got a camber kit. I think you will be ok without one with the sport springs. My old prelude had the sport without a camber kit and it was fine. Yes, you will have slightly more tire wear on the inside, but its not bad. But getting a good balljoint kit (mine is from SPC) won't hurt. So, if you are worried and have the extra $$$, why not?

 

What kind of camber kits do you guys recommend? (5th gen lude)

 

Progress is best for a moderate drop in my opinion. SPC makes a good product and has an extra degree or so of compensation but if you're dropped 2", they tend to hit the front shock towers (will dent the towers). Progress won't hit, so if you only need about 1-1.5 degrees compensation, its the best way to go

Any others?

I dont' know how low i dropped the car but, I barley have a wheel gap...maybe a half finger. Would the SPC kit still work?

I like Ingalls for camber kits. Make sure your toe is set to 0.

 

Damn just searched the SPC comber kit...its in the 400 range. Who has these for more of a competitive price?

 

Ingalls makes an amazing camberkit. That's what I'm running along with neuspeed sport springs & KYB AGX shocks.

 

Wher e are come good site to look for ingalls.

They only have for the rear. All of them say that its for "rear fitment".

 

What year Lude do you have? I looked up a 96 and it says front or rear fitment.

Sorry, I just saw you have a 2001. You're right. They only have rear fitment for the 2001 Lude.

 

Does ingalls make them for the front.
