i want to camber my 2008 honda civic si sedan this is my daily driver im starting to build my civic nd want to get it cambered i wana kno which is the best camber kit to buy for my car aswell as what r the pros and cons

 

get whichever looks prettiest to you. it wont matter since you'll probably want to slam it and it'll ride like **** anyway.

 

im all about performance on my ride right now mabye somthing different later but as far as of right now im not slaming it and have no intentions on lowering it

 

So why do you want to "camber" your car? Do you know what the purpose of a camber kit is?

 

yuck, it would suck to have camber and not be a lil low. like a girl that's bow-legged LOL

 

I think he doesn't know what a camber kit does, and no it doesn't make your car faster.

 

yea i was not sure what the reason for cambering was for thats y i asked on here i like the way it looks but i am only worried about performance at this point thats y i asked and if its only for looks then i dnt wana do it but i still never got a good answer owell lol

 

i was thinking it helped with the grip of the tires on the street or for cornering but if jus for looks idc then

 

Adding negative camber to the front will help with our cars. However, the only way to add some in on stock suspension is with camber bolts. Go read up on alignment specs and their effects on handling, namely: camber, toe, and caster.

There's tons of resources on the web - a little bit of research goes a long way.

 

thanx bro best answer iv had on here yea i all ready started the research

 

Weird, when I added front camber to my si I was faster at auto-x events and my tires got less chewed up on the outside edges

 

To add...

The reason you would want a camber kit when you lower your car is to help correct it so you can have a perfect balance in terms of performance and tire wear. A camber kit will help your car to handle like its on rails but it can also make you chew up tires like crazy.

The most important thing to remember is to bring it someone who is qualified at doing car alignments and mostly high performance alignments cause the specs are completely different then the ones on your daily driver.

 

op said it's his daily, and at stock height I don't see a reason for a camber kit

 

I know he said it's his daily but from the rest of his post I don't think he understood what the complete purpose of a camber kit was. I decided to educate him!

 

I see a reason - for better handling. I've heard that a front camber kit and a rear sway bar can make a big difference on a Si with stock suspension, and it makes sense. The Si has decently stiff OEM suspension, what it lacks is negative camber and a thick sway bar in the back.

 

When I lowered my '08 Si, I used the built-in camber kit on the Buddy Club N+ to add negative camber, not take it away.

 

thanx bro i apreciate it

 

i hate camber....looks freaking retarded and just ruins tires

guess im old school

 

The '06-'11 Si has non-zero camber from the factory.

 

and???

 

You said that you hate camber. Do you think the si should come with zero camber all around from the factory? Are you against camber when it's used to improve handling?

 

so what are you trying to do here you would get negative camber from lowering camber kits are to correct that and as far as im concerned the pros are not really anything unles yur looking for "stance" the cons are well going through tires and if your low pro than that gets expensive and as far as performance suspension most anything will lower it at least .7 the lower you go generally the more negative camber youll get camber kits are to straiten your wheels back out for increased grip and less tire wear

 

Have you ever heard of periods and commas? Your post makes zero sense without them.

 

even with punctuation, it didnt make sense.

 

hey all, i am new up on this forum and on the whole "suspension" world. i have been trying to do my own research bc people seem to get pretty upset about it if u dont and ask questions.

anyways, i plan on dropping my car 1.5 inches, 18x8 +35-43 mm offset and 225 tires, fenders rolled, suspension would be either quality lowering springs like eibach sportlines with koni shocks or good coilovers. i was gonna try to run "stock" alignment camber settings with 0 toe.

any input on the camber part with the wheel spec i listed and 1.5 inch drop? will i need to add negative camber to prevent my tires from wearing out too fast or can i use stock settings with that wheel spec and drop and be good to go? i DD a lot and want very minimal tire wear.
