Stock Camber setting.
Unfortunately, the search is disabled, otherwise I would try to find the answer without posting.
I numbered all questions.
1. I wonder what is stock camber setting?
My civic is lowered on HR spring (50145 - which, BTW, is for integra - 2. Does it make a difference not being civic application?) 1.75" Front and 1.5 Rear. I do realize that I may not need a camber kit, since having some negative camber improves handling. I am NOT asking whether I need a camber kit or not, so putting all "need or not" discussions aside, 3. what the proportion of lowering vs. degrees? In other words, if I'm lowered 1.75", how many degrees in negative direction did my camber move, i.e. how many degrees of adjustment in positive direction does the camber kit need to allow to return back to factory setting? I am looking to buy ingalls and they have more than 1 option.

1. stock setting would be 0ish there is a little bit of allowable play in there. but as you know camber is not a setting that can be changed from the factory.
2. Integra springs are fine.
3. i have no idea... i know you usually can drop your car about 1.5-1.75" with out need of a camber kid as long as your get your TOE set to 0... TOE will eat up tires really fast and seem like camber is doing it.

I remember seeing someone's alignment printout prior to alignment after lowering and if I remember correctly it was pretty close in negative degrees to the amount of lowering in inches, i.e. car lowered by 1.5" had a -1.X camber. Does anyone else have any input on this?
1. Stock settings depend greatly on car's make and model.
2. Integra springs are ok
3. Camber and Lowering does go hand in hand with each other but, there are also other key components also. Like. . . . bushings, LCA, or something can be bent.

Camber is not adjustable without a camber kit. With your toe set to 0, you can lower even 3" without having bad tire wear (his tires probably lasted a few hundred less miles than normal... not much). I know a guy who was slammed 3", no camber kit, on an EG coupe, and had no tire wear problems at all.
Toe is key.
Toe is key.
1. 95 civic dx.
3. If the only thing I've changed is the height of the car, what does that have to do with any other component?
I'm basically wondering, whether I should get -3/4 to +1, or +1.25 to +3 ingalls kit if I want completely compensate for camber change due to lowering.
Again, tire wear is not a concern. Whether I need a camber kit is not a question either.
