In the picture (dont mind the art skills i know there pro and all) anyways the way the tires are slanted in the drawing is the way my tires actually sit on my rex, what could be result of this, my cambers? is there any way i could fix this or do i have to replace parts, if so what it is any help is well appreciated

 

is you car lowered? Have you hit a curb or island lately? Does the car pull to any side when you drive? are you running the same size of rims on both sides? AND LOL on that drawing but it helps alot.

 

yea when i bought the car it was lowered, im not sure if they are cut springs or just lowering springs however, and i know i havent hit anything; not sure about the people behind me but both sides are evenly slanted. The car does not pull to either direction

 

ok so both the tires are tucking in evenly right? is it tucking in the front and rear or just in the rear or in the front? Maybe you suffering from being TOO drop.

 

yea the car is rediculously low, it is only in the front however, and after i through my b16 in it dropped it about another 1/4 inch in the front, i have no problems in the back once so ever, and yea they tuck evenly.

 

Well its up to you if you want to fix it. Have you ever lifted the car to see if you have coilovers? because if you do you can adjust it and make the car higher. The only problem I see is that you are eating you tires very fast and you can hit something and expletive up your oilpan or header.

 

well with my concern its something i need to get fixed, i know they are not coilovers, i completely rebuilt the car engine and all, they springs look like stock springs, but im not sure if they were just cut or someone bought aftermarket lowering springs, is there any way i can straighten them up a little with the setup i have or do i have to replace certain parts, my car also i very very bouncy when going over small rises in the road

 

the only way to fix it is to get another set of lowering springs but something that wont drop that much. Is the suspension kinda stiff?

 

its really bouncy so i would say its pretty stiff, would i be able to put stock ones back on there or even just some cheap ebay springs?

 

bump

 

new springs to raise it, or get a camber kit.

 

get camber kit...take it to a alingment shop..

 

would a stock camber kit take car of it? or should i go aftermarket? im a noob when it comes to suspension

 

You can keep driving it that way, it isnt going to hurt anything except your tires.

I like alittle bit of camber, personally. I just like the way it looks.

 

I don't know if there are any 'stock' camber kits.
SPC has a sliding upper ball joint and there are tons of companies that make upper control arm cam-bolt type kits.

If the car is as slammed as it sounds, you might have to bang out the inside of the fender well and possibly roll your fenders to make room for suspension travel. You'll want to take care of this before sending it off for alignment.

 

im sorry but i really laughed out loud at that image.

the little crooked H emblem is what got me.

bump for you.

 

this shows how lowering can be a drag...............


lol

hahahaha

an alignment shop can look at it in their lot and tell you probly w/o even lifting it


PS
I love the "H" you put on the hood
details............

 

like other poster stated you need a camber kit and an alingment
lowering cars is nice but its a big headache if it rides like ****

 

simply put, your car is most likely too low. The front suspension gains camber the more its compressed, so the lower you go the more negative camber you get. you can get different springs (or coilovers) that don't lower the car as much, and/or also get a camber kit for the front of the car. A little negative camber is beneficial to handling though, but I think the biggest issue you have is the possibility of being too low and bottoming out your oilpan or header.

 

Just make sure your toe is set right. I have about 3 degrees of negative camber on the front of my car, and I've put just about 10k on my Azenis, and they are still good (even with a few AutoXs in there). Camber isn't going to kill your tires.

If it's bouncy, I would think someone cut the springs. It's hard to tell from what you said though. Does it oscillate up and down when you hit a bump, or is it just really stiff and hurts your kidneys? Best thing to do is look at the springs. If they are OEM I dont think they have any markings on them, and they may still have a rubber coating all the way around. I haven't seen OEM springs in a while, but I think they are black (maybe blue?). If they are aftermarket they are probably a more flashy colour, like red (Eibach) or yellow (H&R/Neuspeed). A pic would help here.
Springs aren't very expensive, especially used.

 

yea im pretty sure they are cut, i got the car lowered from a kid who was friends with a friend and they all cut their springs like idiots lol, i dont really want my car as low as it is just want to pop it up about 2-2.5 inches anyways, is there any way that if i raise it i will have the same problem

What i mean is since it is cambering like that is there any permanent damage or can i raise it with stock (non cut springs) to fix the problem

 

Yes if you put stock springs in it should go back to normal camber.

 

my car is lowered also, but its equally lowered all the way around and the drivers side sits lower as well. Its funny cause i know i need an alignment (pulls to the passenger side), but the drivers side front has a bunch more camber than the passanger. Tires wear pretty evenly.

 

is it normal to have a clicking noise when cambered or is that something i need to diagnose someother place, possible my axles?

Edit: - - I came across a set of 92 integra se springs, will these fit on my rex, or what oem will fit on my car

Is it clicking while turning? If so its probally your cv joints.... When the boots get torn dirt gets inside and causes them to start clicking
