Ok, i just bought a 95 civic EX, and it has coilovers on it, i'd say right now it's lowered just around 2", maybe a little less. it came with a set of aftermarket rims, and i noticed that on the tires that were on the front, they were worn on one side, im guessing from getting it lowered. the guy didnt use aftermarket suspension, just the coilovers. now my question is, should i buy a camber kit, or will taking it to my local shop and getting alignment work? also, if i need a camber kit, how do i adjust it to the ride height? thanks!


* i plan to get some aftermarket suspension. does anyone know of any good shocks/struts that are decently cheap?

 

i would say get a camber kit first. tho an alignment may be needed.

if you do get a camber kit.. if you take it to a shop and get an alignment they should do your camber as well...

.. should is the key word.. some shops do suck more than others.

 

hey thats cool. i would rather ask them to put it on, i dont wanna touch anything suspension, me and suspension=

can anyone recommend a good, but cheap camber kit? hint:cheap?

 

also, does anyone else have a comment on this? all welcome

NO!!!

Ugh.

You dont need a camber kit - take it an alignment shop that knows what their doing (not likely the cheapest place) and have them set your toe to factory spec - 2" drop (probably 1.5 deg of camber) wont put any noticeable wear on the tires - but the extra toe out will from that 1.5 deg of camber.

 

get the alignment first. your toe is off because of the lowering, you need to fix it. then youll know how much camber you have and can tell if you need a camber kit.

alignment first, then possibly a camber kit

 

well if u get alignment first and then u install a camber kit ? hmmmm u might have to got for a alignment again..

i said if its only a 2 inch drop and u dont mind seeing a little camber .. just get it aligned and be a happy civic driver
