Default Just installed some H&R race springs on my DC2 (pics)

Check GSTEG's post for the pics. Those are the H&R race springs with KYB AGX struts. The drop is very, very nice. It's 2.00" F, and 1.75" R, but its still manageable to drive daily. Ride quality is the almost the same as stock on the 1st setting on the struts. Its still nice on higher settings, and it doesn't bounce at all.

After driving with the H&R race springs for well over a year the car is now slammed to the point it's almost not drivable. Half of the front tire is in the wheel well and the top of the rear tire is at the wheel well. I have to get new setup, my tires are destroyed because of the camber, everything underneath is getting destroyed from the snow and ice. But when I first got them they were perfect, a little to soft but a nice drop.

Have you gotten an alignment recently? I'm on some really old Neuspeed race springs (back when they were identical to H&R springs) with no camber kit and I don't have any noticeable uneven tire wear. Have your toe settings checked cause that plays a much greater factor in uneven tire wear than off negative camber settings.

A lot of mechanics say NO to alignments. They say you have to have your "stock springs" So I'm stuck ,guess I gotta get a camber kit...

( like mine) just find a place that uses a drive on alignment rack.

BY FAR THAT IS THE SICKEST LOOKING INTEGRA EVER! I was just contemplating whether to buy the H&R that you have or the 1.5 rear, 1.75 front, and Im convinced the ones you have are SO SICK, NICE CAR!!!

If your tires are that tucked, I don't think a camber kit will work for you. The tires would have to have negative camber to even be able to function.

No offense to the owner of the car as I know that car's history but all that can be seen is a lip and a drop heh.

How did this thread come back to life? Anyways, thanks for the compliments. My teg is pretty simple. Just a drop with a lip, but hey I try. O yeah one more, thing, do not run 55 series tires with the H&r race. They're too big, and you will rub when you turn hard with load or without. 205/50/15 should work nicely.
