Default Lowering My EP3...but a few questions..

Im thinking of buying the Eibach Sportline springs for my '02 Civic Si. I was wondering if the F 1.4" R 1.5" drop would need camber correction, and if so where I could find one. Also, any comments on these springs, or other better ones and where to find them would be nice to. I'd appreciate your help!

...when lowering, you can never go wrong with a camber kit but with the Sportlines it is not something you "have" to have. The pro-kit would be a better choice if you are worried about camber (but I'm biased because that's what I have) and it still rides like stock. Plus you can't really go wrong with eibach IMHO so either would fit the bill.

Its always better to have the camber kit on. With lowering springs though, you can get away with them.

With coilovers, camber kits is a must.

You will not need camber bolts in the front. The camber will end up at about -.5 degrees. For the rear you will end up at about -1.3 to -1.5 degrees. You may want to consider a camber kit for the rear. An alignment is definitely necessary though, as the track angle will be off. Without an alignment you will have serious rear tire wear issues.
