Well I got H&R Sports, and lowered the car. They are on stock shocks (that are blown, I think), and my car is slammed. The front wheels are tucked. Could this be because of the stock shocks? And if I just get an alignment, will it make the rims straight again? They have really bad camber now. All on the inside of the tire. I think I am going to get KYB AGXs. Will my ride be better with these? And will it be able to go up a little bit? Thanks.

 

It will definatly ride better with the new shocks. However, I dont think you should be tucking with Sports, Im barely tucking with Race. Did you install them? You will need a camber kit to get your camber correct, and alignment will help, but not all the way.

nice, how much was it? get the skunk2 camber kit yo its hot.

 

Well I am tucking, and I don't know why. I didn't install them, but I helped. And I HAVE to get one to have good camber? I can't just do frequent alingments? And I am rubbing really bad on hard turns. Is that normal? I have 16s.

i thought the same too. But i still have the springs sitting in my garage, i'm waiting for my KYB AGX to get here on monday to do the install. (better to just do it all at once you know). Damn, now i dunno if i should buy a camber kit..

 

well if its slammed now most likely its gonna get lower when the spring sag. I think you should get an aliment and a camber kit soon.

 

well for one if u are allready rubbing, then when u get a camber kit, ur really gonna rub.

 

It is like that because the shocks are blown. Get new ones asap. You probably do not need a camber kit with the sport shocks. Just get new shocks and an alignment afterwards and you will be fine.

 

did u buy ur H&R brand new or used?

are they cut?

i really dont know how u can be that low.

 

They are Sports, and they are brand new. I know the shocks are blown, so that prolly is the problem. I don't really have the money for shocks right now. So I'm basically screwed, right? And why would I rub worse with a camber kit?

 

not to sound off the mark here but what size of wheels and tires are you using?

I think the basics should be covered before really making any comments. Having your alignment will straighten your wheels but it will not help the "tucking" as previously mentioned. Based on your description, i recommend fixing your camber with a camber kit then go in for an alignment adjustment. If you are to replace your stock shocks (as they wont handle the lowering for much longer) you might want to wait till installing the new shocks for the camber and leave the alignment for the very end..

 

tire size is in his signature, i don't think you'd be rubbing with those sizes..

 

Well, I am rubbing. I don't really understand. I only rub on hard turns though. Like U-turns.

 

Skunk 2 Camber Kit, they Kick ***!!!

 

From your signature, it looks like you have a 99. I though stock shocks would last a lot longer. How many miles are on your car?

 

I have about 45,000 miles.

 

Even if he replaced the shocks wouldnt he still be tucked? The car weight rests on the springs. The shocks only affect initial compression and rebound, no?

 

do you know if the longer springs were put on the front like they were supposed to be? is the drop even? you might have the springs flipped forward to back.

 

I don't mind it being tucked. I just don't like the rubbing. I just don't like the way my car rides now.

 

u should have waited for the shocks... if u get new ones, then u will have to dissasemble it all again.... how was the install? did u cut the bumpstops? everything back in correct alignment?

 

No, everything is in bad alignment, and we just took the bumpstops out. We couldn't get them to cut.

 

Well since you dropped the car so low...your shocks and suspension need to be changed as mentioned by everyone else. Best bet is to get a camber kit in one shot and install it. Why waste money each time for an alignment? Until you get your shocks that can support the springs..you gonna rub! Good luck and let us know how it all went! God bless .....

Also, H&R clearly states in the provided instruction NOT to cut the bumpstops for integra.
