My 99 civic is needing some coilovers, i found some on ebay that im considering, thier just the sleeves.

I alyready have my car on a 2" lowering springs, not enough...i need coilovers.
anyways..i was wondering how low can i go before needing a camber kit??

 

what size tires do you have

 

if you our running tein or a good company spring just cut alittle it will still ride good

Yeah, don't do this.

If you're getting coilovers, I would look into Ground Control.

 

The sleeve style coil overs are not worth it. I owned a set a few years ago and it rode like crap. Plus they are real coilovers IMO. I wont buy them again. Just my 2 cents.

 

get ground controls, they work out nicely for me

 

Man anytime you lower your car more than a half an inch or so, its probably a good thing to get camber kits.

Plus if your going to buy something from ebaymake shure its not fake stuff. I would just save your money and get some skunk2 coilovers!!!!

I think most will agree..

Ground Control &gt; Skunk2.

 

Those cheap ebay ones suck. I had those and I regret it.

Well just because YOU had some and didnt like them, doesnt mean they suck..it means you obv had some cheap ones OR had rediculous spring rates with stock shocks.. i know PLENTY of owners of GC sleeves and SWEAR by them.(used with koni yellows or others). GROUND CONTROL OWNS ALL!! muahahaha

PS...i think you MEANT to say they ARENT* real coilovers...but they are!

 

The thing that kill tire the most is your toeeeeeeeeeeeeee angel. I know you can do the front, but anyone know we can adjust the rear toe??I know you can do camber on the rear but not sure the toe

 

rear tore adjustment is on the front of the trailing arms.

 

have ground controls if you need them

 

are ground controls better than omni coilovers?

 

Anyone have/take a picture and show how to set the rear toe??

 

Don't get those cheap ebay coilovers. They ride like sh*t. If you are going for the sleeve-style, at least get some Ground Control's. They are pretty nice (I have them on my hatch) and they are very easy to adjust. And as far as the camber kit goes, I don't believe you really need one if you are concerned with tire wear. I have been riding pretty low (slight tire tuck all around) for over a year (about 20k miles) and my tires are holding up fine. I did, however, do the washer trick on the rear. Cheap and easy fix for the back at least.

 

ebay brands suck. people just trying to get rich by selling other people bullshit.

 

their a whole thread on this.

its for accords, but same concept

so with the gc coilovers, do they all come with eibach springs?

And i dont like the design of these, b/c if u are in a snowy conditions, the allenhead bolt to tighten the collar will get rusted in there. Happened on my buddys teg and we could never get it loose.

Do not do this... Progressive springs do not work the same when you cut them. LOL wtf...

If you are this low you probably already need to adjust your camber... Go have a tire shop do an alignment, then come back here and post your results.
