ok i just order some neuspeed race for my rsx type s and im about to put them in..i currently dont have any money for a camber kit for the rear or front and i use to own a hatch and for the back camber all i did was put washers in the back and my camber was stright..now for the rsx. i was wonderin has anybody ever done that yet and is it even possible to do..i kno its ghetto and im broke so gotta do something cheap yet reliable.

 

bump! no one?

 

ingalls has a kit for the rears that is an adjustable bar that replaces your stock upper tie bar on the rear suspension. runs for about $150. i think its adjustable + or - 4.0 degrees. if you have camber out of that range, then theres another problem. the problem is that your up sh** creek because to my knowledge no other company makes a camber kit that is more adjustable than that.

 

don't have to worry that much about camber.

it will be great down the line when you have the money, but just make sure you get your TOE reset back to 0 .

 

Well seeing as you are getting springs you should be pretty safe. The lowest you could possible go on springs would be around a 1.5-1.7 inch drop. You are safe as long as you dont pass 2inch. Your camber should not be affected if you are above a 2 inch drop. And a big plus for the DC5 is that you will only need a camber kit for the rear should you go lower. The front will not camber at all. And if you do want a camber kit look into eibach camber kit. Not expensive and it does the job.

 

And FYI--you cannot use the washer trick on the new Civic/RSX. The upper control arm is attached differently.

see...i was thinkin i got neuspeed race..and that does a 2in in the back and a 2.5 in the front so im guessing i have to get the camberkit for at least the back correct? and what about alignment issues will i have one idmeditaly? i used to slam my civic and my alignment only went off when i changed my camber kit to a ingalls one

 

Man...you're gonna be seriously dissapointed if you think you can slam your RSX the same way you did your old wishbone Civic, especially if you are using stock struts.

You're not only taking travel away from inadequate oem struts (even for the stock springs IMO), you're also introducing funky suspension/tierod geometry in the front.

Sport springs will be ok, but if you got race--you might run into problems. Does neuspeed make race for the RSX?

And at 2.5" lowering, you are definitely going to need camber correction for the rear.

 

To hell with Ingalls. I knew straight from the beginning that their design was weak. There's starting to get more numbers of the Ingalls kits breaking at weld and seam points. That's why I went w/ SPC
