integra tein basic
Quick question,
If I was running tein basic coilover, Do I need to run camber kit in front and rear? I just want to make sure before install them.
Thanks for the help!

yea...just depends on the ride height...the lower you go the more negative camber you will have, which is going to eat up the inside of your tires...its best you get a camber kit anyway for the adjustability
Do i need to change the sway bar, end links, and LCA or i can do it later on after i drop it? I am planning to do like 1.4 front and like 1.8-2 in rear.
thanks.
thanks.

OP, you do NOT need to install adjustable camber kits to keep from eating through tires, especially with your planned relatively mild drop of 2" or less. After installing and adjusting the ride height to your liking, take the car for a 4-wheel alignment. All you need to do is have the toe adjusted to factory specs and you'll be fine.
Hondas toe-out in front when lowered, and toe-out chews up tires MUCH faster than negative camber alone ever will. And when you lower a Honda, you get both toe-out AND negative camber. But since it's on the inside edge of the tire and camber is much more visible than slight toe-out, people automatically ASSume it's because of the negative camber that the tires get worn out so fast.
Even a slight change to toe-out can cause major tire wear issues, while you can easily run -3 to -4 degrees camber with good toe and have little to no tire wear issues at all.
And for folks who may try to argue these facts, don't. There are many people in here who have run negative camber for MANY years with very little uneven tire wear issues at all, myself included.

pat speaks the truth. i got 1 finger gap front and rear on my teg, i set the toe to 0 at all corners and i have no toe* wear. I have 8k miles and they are very even!
