got koni/gc setup, camber kit necessary?
never had inner tire wear, but had outer (toe?) tire wear before on front tires, rear was always okay.
i don't drive slammed, just low enough where you can't fit your fingers in the gap, but no wheel tuck.
been reading up on patrick's sticky, but i get a lot of "get a camber kit" and mixed reviews.
i was thinking of going front and rear skunk 2 if so.

 

You dont need them. When you lower the car the toe angles get messed up. You definitely need to get the toe back to spec. As for the camber, yes it will become more negative, but as long as the toe angles are good, the camber is not as important for tire wear. Just make sure you are getting good contact with the ground. If you feel like you want to change the camber, then yes you will need camber kits (front and rear upper control arms) I think Skunk2 Pro are supposed to be good.

Ive been driving my Civic lowered on H&R sport springs, about 1.75f, 1.5r lowering with stock control arms, with about -2.5 degrees camber in back. and a good toe alignment and just about perfect tire wear.

 

99% of honda drivers don't need camber kits. Unless you're riding around dragging your front lip or need MORE camber for autocross there isn't a good reason to have one.

The OEM arms are more reliable and stay in spec since they aren't adjustable. With proper tire rotation you can get even tire wear on even 3-4 degrees of camber. My car is about the same height as yours and my camber is 1.8 front 1.6 rear. I wish I had more camber at my ride height to be honest. Would make for better handling on these autocross courses. Next event is Sunday, can't wait!!!

 

What they said is right you DONT need a camber kit unless you want more camber. I have been running -3.1 camber on my rears with stock arms for about 4 month's and tires have been wearing evenly as well. Just get your toe fixed and you wont wear the tires out unevenly. NO I dont want to have that low of a camber but its the best they could get it with stock arms.

 

No you'll be fine.

 

thanks everyone! i guess i'll cross camber kit out of my list.

 

Just read the the sticky article and explains it best! Saved me some money too!

 

I'm thinking about putting these on my 98 accord sedan. Is there anything other than the coilovers themselves I will need?

 

Reason you have crappy tire wear is that RIDE HEIGHT AFFECTS EVERYTHING! Anytime you change your ride height its gonna affect toe wich is the major cause of tire wear.
