What were the alignment specifications beforehand?

Why, is it a dump truck? Define "heavy duty." And what do you mean by "suspension"? There are numerous major components.

I've never heard of a Civic CX coupe in the US.

And why would you ask us about suspension only after you've seemingly already modified it?

install the camber kit by yourself. if you have the ball joint type just remove the upper control arm and take it to them.

my bad i meant ex... No i havent modified it yet. i bought the car and the both rear tires are at a weird angle. the guy dropped it 2 inches..


i really dont know he just gave me an estimate and told me that i have to get a camber kit


Now heavy duty i mean some really good coilovers, a arms. rear strut bars anything that will help me in cornering.. i pretty new too this so just help me out.

for suspension. alot of people will recommend you ground control coil overs and koni yellows. i like strut bars.

when i got my benen 3 point my car felt more solid in the front.

getting a camber kit (to eliminate negative camber) wont help you in cornering.

you need an alignment to prevent any tire wear issues.

and should probably put some decent suspension parts on like illuminas and eibach and koni.
