Default H&R Sport Springs on G3-Teg Owners read...

I'm lowered on H&R Sport springs. Now are you using a camber kit? Do I even need a camber kit when I lowered it 1.8"(f) and 1.5"(r)?

What will an alignment do? I know you can't correct camber on hondas without a camber kit,but will it help any?

alignment will not fix camber, and you will need a kit. my kumhos are only 6 mos old and are dying

an alighnment will help with the toe
as for a camber kit....if u don't have the $$ to get one yet u should be fine after the alignment if u keep the tires rotated regularly.

I'm only dropped on sport springs, do I really need a camber kit?

i have a 1.5" drop all round and my tyres wear badly on the inside, i havent got round to get a camber kit yet, so as you have a 1.8/1.5" drop it would be worth your while getting a camber kit unless you dont mind shredding the inside of your tyres in less then 6k miles

I have between a 1.75 and 2 inch drop in front and 1.7 in rear or so. I haven't gotten a camber kit and my fronts are wearing in the in the inner part but the rear is absolutely perfect. I rotate every 3k and it looks like I'll get at least 10-12k on these kumhos...

You guys must not have gotten that toe-in set very well. I've had my H&R Sport springs w/ extra 1/2" lowering in back from the Koni shocks since February (about 12K miles now). I had the toe-in set to exact factory specs. I have over 2 deg. neg. camber all around and no camber kit, but my tires are still even all the way across after 12K miles. I rotate every 4K-5K miles.




This is how my front left tire looked from about 2 weeks ago.
