I am looking for a decent setup for my daily, and I was thinking about doing the H&R race springs with Koni yellows. I would get the Sports but I kinda want to go lower than 2".

Will the drop be too much to fix with a camber kit? Anyone running this setup?
Opinions? Suggestions?

 

You may need to correct camber, you may not. Its not going to be horrible, but it wont be stock.

It also depends how you have the shocks set

 

the h&r race springs are 2.5" front and 2.25" rear. I know i will have to adjust the camber.

Just not sure if i will be able to adjust it enough to fix it.

it wouldnt cost you much for camber correction,$100 tops

But if you have your shocks set high you should have a huge prob. Also get an alignment right away. I did and am dropped 3.50 inches for 2 years on the same tires, slight wear but not horrible

 

werd. yea i already ordered the skunk2 camber kit...

 

RACE(with some minor modification)


SPORTS

I have a pic of the civic on the races at the house i will post later

 

NICE.

How's camber?

 

i have had both cars aligned at firestone with the skunk2 camber kit. no problem with camber but the S2 camber kit has a tendency to hit the inside of the fender

 

What kind of front fascia is that on the bubble ?

 

question

why don't you go for an adjustable coilover kit ? h&r does make good ones, if u wanna stick to their products !

look them up there, f.e.

i guess the yellow koni dampers + springs aren't going to be that much cheaper.

if you got money in spare, kw coilovers get your car down even more, without being cheap crap. a kw v2 might be a great addition to your car - i got a v1 and am absolutely happy with it.

i thaught our civics had a +40 offset as "proper"

 

make sure you have 195's and not 205's they have a tendency to rubb more, that is if your wheels are going to tuck a little

 

thanks for the replies.
