well I put on my new struts and coilovers today, had to get rid of that 4x4 look. What I need to know is what is a good camber kit for front and rear so I can go and get an alignment. Oh yeah my ghetto suspension setup is r1 coilovers with kyb gr-2 struts. I do got a rear DC strut tower bar though.

 

So where's the PICS at???

I'm at work right now, but I'll have some as soon as I get home

 

camber kit for frojt and rear is like 350 bucks dont know of any good brands cause i enjoy tire wear yea right

 

how much did you pay for the gr-2's? And how is the ride?

 

if your CRX is anything like my Si was, then even if you slam it you really won't need a camber kit that bad man, just make sure you get your allignment in a couple weeks and your car shouldn't need a camber kit. i mean they tilt a little bit, but not too much for you to worry about. i had mine slammed all the way with skunk 2's (really i don't know how low that is though) and i didn't need a camber kit. i also had 15" momo's with 50 series tires and my wheels came just to the fender. you should be fine dude.

 

I had the same thing happen with mine.

2 1/4" drop, and the camber was fine out back, and slightly tilted up front.

Alignment was $50, and it only chews tires when I'm driving like I stole it :D

Oh... almost forgot, 14" Ar157 Rims, and Cooper Cobra (cheap!) tires. They come just up to the edges of the fenderwells.

sorry I haven't posted pics yet they should be up tomorrow. I've had it lowered 3 days and it's weird. My front coilovers are down all the way and my rear are 18 threads from the top, BUT my drivers side front is way down, right at the tire, my passenger side front is about 1 1/2 fingers, and both my rears are 1 finger? Sorry about the finger reference I haven't measured from my centercap to my fender yet. My friend said the springs will settle in a few days (3-5) is that true? I just want it to be the same all the way around. Right now I can tell it's a little tilted on the front but the rears look ok. Does the CRX have adjustments on it where they can adjust the camber a little factory? It'd be cool if I could just get an alignment and not have to worry about a damn camber kit.

 

Yes its true that the springs will settle. Ingalls makes a good camber kit, if you need it.

 

ugh!! gross.

anyways to the originator of the thread, that's the thing i hate about coilovers, is that it was always nearly impossible to get the car dead even all around.

 

mines even all around with a full drop need a camber kit bad

 

man I hope you can see these pics my freeserver host sucks

My racing seats and steering wheel will be here on Monday, and that's all the appearance I'm doing until next spring when I get my wings west kit and get it painted CW. I'm starting to save all my funds now for my B16 swap which I hope will eventually have a FMAX turbo kit on it

See how the passanger side is a little taller?

if the pics don't show up go to http://opstar.iwarp.com and look at the "lowered" pics, there is 5 of them.

Hey, that is a minor drop and it's not that slammed, you would only waste money by buying a camber kit. Caust it simply doesn't need it. Mines is slightly lower than yours and my wheels are as straight as an arrow.

 

Nice

Those K1s?

 

thanks. It's lowered as far as it will go in the front and 18 threads from the top in the back, it doesn't sit real low I know, but it eliminated my wheel/fender gap which was my main concern and it made my handling better which is also what I was looking for. It lowered it almost to the tires, which I think is plenty. As for the wheels, those are Primax 767 in gunmetal. My sponsor couldn't get Rota's
