hey everyone, this is a bit of a noob question to be asked plz dont hate on how noobish i am lol thanks in advance, here goes ...
so im looking into getting a set of Tein SS coilovers for my prelude to replace the Tokico setup (came with the car wen i purchased it) and was wondering what would be a suitable camber kit to get with it, or do you even need a camber kit?
i am noticing that my rear tires are fading on the outsides and it could be from the tokico setup with no camber kit? is causing this weird fadeing on my rear tires?
anyone here can post some good info or anything would be helpful. Thanks!
i do plan on getting Teins this weekend so if anyone can educate me on the camber stuff it would be greatly appreciated.
thanks everyone!

 

-usually running springs/coilovers with no camber kit would result in tires wearing on the inside.
-sounds like you need an alignment more than anything, but if you are going to change your setup now, I'd get the alignment afterwards.
-how low are you planning on going? I believe there are many that will say that 1-1.5" you can roll without a camber kit, but with a proper alignment.
-I have Ingalls Camber Kits on all 4 corners, and they work great for me.

 

Ingalls, SPC or Eibach

thanks statelude, yah my rear tires are fading on the insides and the outsides, the middle seems to be good tho?
i only plan on about 1" drop. i was thinking about doing alignment but than decided to just change the whole setup lol

 

^ Street car? I would NEVER get a camber kit with that drop.

 

yah its gona be a street car daily driver but i want it to be able to track if i wanted to. always nice to have that little extra something. so i wouldnt need a camber kit if i droped it and inch to 1.5? would i just have it properly aligned and i would be good to go?

 

worn on outsides usually means under-inflated tires

however, if its been dropped for awhile, and not aligned properly/camber kit if needed...then they could have rotated the tires, demounted/flipped/remounted,
and all the wear could actually be from inside wear and then the tires were flipped on the wheels (hope that makes sense)

 

yah that does make sense, i had 2 new tires in the front and they put the old fronts on the rear. so how should i fix that problem? lol

 

Already been stated a couple times, get it aligned. I think a local shop here did mine for like $50. Worth it not to wear the tires out. Put the teins on it and adjust for like 1"-1.5" drop from stock ride height and get it aligned. That should take care of the problem, no camber kit needed.

 

oh Duh!! sorry im a bit slow lol
Thanks guys
