im gettin tein ss coilovers for an 04 rsx... with adj. pillowmount.. is a camber kit necessary?? only about a 1.5 inch drop? i know it is needed with reg. springs but what aabout with adj. coilovers?

 

Just get rear camber kit.
But its not necessary, camber kit won't hurt you in long run.

 

Only for rear I believe.

 

You should get a camber kit, but if you like to spend money on tires ( especially on rear tires) then dont get a camber kit. i recently got my car lowered on some tein springs (s-tech), and I could already tell that my back tires are butterflying which will eat up my tires from the inside.So my suggestion is to get a camber kit

.

 

Lower more 1.5", you'll almost definitely will need a camber kit on the rear....That would probably be the outer edge of the range for not needing any adjustment to keep within factory specification.

 

if your going to slam it your going to need a camber kit. Its not that expensive and wont hurt you anyways

 

.y only for the rear?

 

With reasonable change in front ride height, the front camber will typically stay within range. Maybe someone else can shed light on the threshold for needing a front camber adjuster, as I've never been low enough to make a significant change in my front camber settings. As far as I know, for a streetable ride height, you'd run some kind of camber adjustment to obtain negative camber, not so much correcting it back to within range...like I said, maybe someone can answer this better.

 

camber adjustments are made on the upper pillowmounts on the fronts.

 

i'm runnin tein ss in my dc5, no need for a camber kit, and i can't even get a pinky in above the tire... so close to tuckage

 

yer supposed to use a rear camber kit though. firedc5 had his tein ss's installed and didn't have a camber kit. his rear wheels were like // \\ until he ordered one and installed it.

 

The front camber kit is not needed due to the fact the Mac struts are used.

The rear requires the camber kit due to the fact that Double Wish bone is on the rear.

If you are running the Tein SS you will not need a camber kit if you only plan to go 1.5 inchs. I am currently running the Tein Flex on my RSX-S and I have a camber kit in the rear due to the fact I am lowered a bit past 1.5.

 

Yep, gotta get the camber kit for the rear. Unless you wanna rub your rear tires all damn day.
