i just bought a 91 integra from my old boss. the guy that owned it had cut the springs. myquestion is the rears camber is horrible looks like this /-\ haha. was wondering how much correction do the rear camber kits provide. i plan on replacing springs but i like the lowered look so ill probably get lowering spring or coil overs. so im figuring ill still have camber issues. he did have the problem all the way around but i had talked him into front camber kit a while back when he came in needing upper ball joints. its gonna b my daily driver just got anew job 45 miles away and the civic is killing me on gas it gets around 220 mpg and i got 360 out of the integra b4 i filled back up. ne info would be awesome thanks

ok. it doesnt even look that low in the back for the camber to be as bad as it is. was wondering cause i had seen some slammed da's and looked lik they had perfect camber. also was wondering will shocks/struts or springs or both fit a da froma newer integra or ef or eg. thanks again andthanks for the reply
I agree with "teggi"...use the washer trick on the rear.You might want to use more than 3 ea 3/8" washers (if you keep the cut springs), so take one of your blots to the hardware store and get (4 ea) that are 10mm longer. On my 2000 LS, I bought some bolts (M10 x 40 with 1.25 tread pitch) for .65 cents each.I don't know if that is the correct bolt for your car, so take one with you.

What do you consider "perfect" camber? Straight up zero camber is not what I consider perfect. But then if you're not that low, it shouldn't be around -3 or -4 either. Around -2 is a good number for the rear, which is usually possible without camber kits unless you're just totally on the ground, or have bent suspension components.

i mean not riding on the side wall.lol. and yeah its slammed the front scrapes pulling out of my road. as far as the suspension goes not really sure. i assume its ok the front was just as bad before he had my old work install front camber kit and tie rods. and it allowed enough adjustment to get into the green. thanks for the response
