My Helms service manual lists ground clearance for the '96-'98 Civic as 5.9".

thanks...i just did the bolt and washer rear camber adjustment....is there any reason that i had to ad a washer more to one side than i did the other ( i used 3 on left, but 4 on th right)


my back coil's are the same....if i had one higher than the other on the front...would that cause it to do this in the back? i thought i got the front as close together as i could.

Negative camber isn't always equal. When I got my alignment done, the rear right was like -3 and the rear left was -2.5. As long as there isn't any damage then you're fine.
