Default 1.5" drop without a rear camber kit in an RSX

Hi folks, is there anyone lower than 1.5 "s or using comptech specifically without a rear camber kit? Any idea of your negative camber readings? Is it really noticeable? I was unhappy with the coilovers so I'm back shopping again.

Thanks,

Ryan

First off, what was wrong with the coilovers?

Second, if your tires wear bald, then you've got a camber problem.

thanks for the reply. I got the coilovers second hand, and they wrent what I was thinking they were. I daily drive the car, and the roads arent the best.

I was really wondering what the negative camber looked like in the rear. I dont want it to look rediculous from behind! I'm not worried about excessive wear, I'll be getting an alignment shortly after install.

Just get an SPC kit and call it a day. Do it once the first time since you'll already be under there.

Good call, I think I may do that. I'm still thinking there might be better springs thant he comptechs to use with the stock shocks, but we'll see.

Thank man, its too bad, because for the pricew, and decent quality, their hard to beat. Not sure why they made them as firm as they did, because when they originally came out, there were NO aftermarket shocks for our cars! Even the comptech RSX used OE shocks.
