I have a 92 civic hatch with a b18c1 swap and I currently have KYB adjustable struts all the way around with a rear camber kit tien springs and skunk2 upper camber control arms. these were all on the car when I got it minus the control arms. My problem is my front passenger side of the car tucks the tire and about a 1/4 inch of the rim so when I turn it grabs the fender and my rear driver side is so close to the 1/4 panel it rubs on a little rock in the road lol my Q's are if the struts are bad will it cause this and how can i check them to make sure they are good?

also what is the use of the rear camber kit?

and last but not least is this a good setup for street driving and racing?

If not what are some good struts to go with that wont kill my *** in price?

if someone gots some good used ones I might be interested in them just shoot some pictures with a price shipped to 79605

I want the car to stay lowered and ride like factory but be able to handle when racing

thanks.

 

BUMP: someones gotta know something LOL

 

well, you might want to change the offset of your wheels to prevent future rubbing since it sounds like your really close to the ground.

actually im not close to the ground thats why I dont know whats going on lol



ANY ONE ELSE that can tell me something I dont already know?

 

take your springs off your struts, push the strut in, if it comes out super slow, or not at all, its shot.

rear camber kit is to adjust rear camber... pretty self explanitory

and no your setup is not ideal for racing, but will work fine for daily driving. I'm a coilover kinda guy, so no matter what you can do with koni/eibach springs, i'll stick to coilovers.

if you want basically oem replacement struts, get tokico blues, or luminas if you want to adjust dampening
