Hi guys, I'm planning a road trip on my 98 Civic with 122k miles. I lowered it on Eibach pro kit and shocks 2 weeks ago. I went in for an alignment today to fix my toe but camber in the rear is -2.1 and -2.3. Fronts are ok. I'm wondering if that degree of camber is bad and should I be ok for a 1000 mile round trip? Tires are at 70% Also if I do the washer trick to get back some + camber, will this mess up my toe again which I believe is worse then camber? Which trade off is better? Thanks in advance.

 

I am speaking from my own experience, I had a bad camber problem for a few years, the only bad thing is the uneven wear on the tires.

 

it's def gonna throw off your toe when you add washers now. you should've added them first before you had your alignment.

anyway, if the toe is good, the tire wear won't be bad.

 

I disagree. Camber is the worst cause of tire wear in lowered cars. I would suggest ordering a camber kit, throwing it on and getting it realigned. I know where i get my alignments they warranty it for 6 months. I even asked them if I replaced my tie rods, already had camber kit on it, if they would realign it for free. Happily they said yes. I bought my crx kit on ebay for about $100. They are the knock off brand but they do the job well. Stay away from the A arm mount adjustable ones. Those suck hard. Stick to the adjustable upper ball joint ones. Washers work but this kit is better. If you don't want to replace $200 - $400 in tires within 6 months I suggest you spend the $$.

This is the guy I bought the kit from. Delivered really fast and everything was in fantastic shape. Takes about 2 hours to put the kit on if you know what you're doing. You might have to make clearance for the A arm as it may be a little bigger that OEM. I just had to bend a little fender seam and it cleared just fine. I promise you won't be disappointed.
