Icon2 no power steering+camber

I am planning on throwing some lowering springs on my 91 dx hatch. My only concern is if i end up with any camber will it make it harder to steer the car? Keep in mind i drive a dx so there is no power steering! Thank you in advance for any info

my 88 std was dumped, no PS, major camber, and it actually felt like it was easier to steer haha. You should be just fine

I was also thinking about just doing some cheapo ebay springs for now until I have the money for a nice strut and spring combo. But a buddy at work said the ones he put on his ended up sagging alot really quick so. . . . . . .

i think the tire width has the most affect on turning in my oppinion, i had some wide tires on my hatch a while back..(no power steering) and it was hard as hell to turn, but now that i have the skinny hx's on there its way easy...

do not get ebay springs, they're terrible, my buddy has them on the rear of his car (shady previous owner) and it is ridiculously bouncy, it def will not be worth it

Please don't use no name "ebay" springs, their ride quality sucks, spring rates are wack, and they just bounce all over and distroy struts even aftermarkets. Save up your money and get a set of skunk2 springs and struts off ebay for around $380ish shipped to your house. Its well worth the saving and waiting for a good ride quality and name brand stuff.

Best thing when building a car is just set a budget for each part and save for them in stages, I don't really think any one on here has bought all the parts they wanted overnight(few people have from a year or 2 of savings or settlement checks, ect..). Do things right the first time, trust me you will kick your self for spending $60 on cheap springs to have your struts go out in a month then you will spend $400 for new stuts and springs and be strapped. Sorry for the story, just putting in my .02
