Default Installation Tommorow! Camber Ques.

Well tomorrow is the day I get my ground control coilover sleeves installed. I'm so
excited!

I plan on dropping the car no gap in the front and a finger gap in the back.
My question is what should the camber be in the front? I'm still on stock camber bolts
up front. I was thinking -1 up front and my friend (suby guy) says go -1.5/-2 What
would you guys suggest?

thats fine as well, although factory specs have -1.5 camber in the back i think

you have a rear camber kit right? once you lower the car, the rear camber will be greatly affected, way more than the front

i believe the front is factory .2 and i know for sure the rear is .8 degrees of camber from honda. i jus had my alignment done and they did all that camber stuff. im bettin ur not gonna be able to go as low as you want with those coils and stock camber bolts. im only 3/4 the way down my progress coils in the front and i have camber kits in the front. i still need camber plates and im out of tie rod adjustment. the rear is fine with new upper camber arms and cam bolts down bottom.

your gonna have to mod ur shocks by cuttin the perches off. if i may make a suggestion...get a camber kit before you take on this project. my car is slammed pretty good so take it from me
