I got a really good price on a set of Eibach Sportline springs. My question is what kind of camber change could I expect. The reason i ask is Im really broke after someone did a hit and run on my car and cant afford a camber kit right now. Thanks everyone for your help.

 

Sportlines don't drop that much (1.5-1.75 ish right) so I wouldn't worry about it.

I have Skunk2s (2-2.25 drop), no camber kit, and my tires are perfect. Just get a good alignment done

 

your toe adjustment is going to dictate tire wear more than a little negative camber. Get an alignment and dont' worry about it, as mentioned above^

also, you can put washers in the UCA on the rear to fix rear camber, this mod will cost you under $1 in parts.

 

Cool thanks.

 

yeah I read a how-to on the rears and Im definitely going to do that. The how-to said between 1-3 washers on the bolts. Anyone know off the top of there head if I should go one or two washers for my setup? Thanks again guys

 

I drive an Integra, I've had sportlines installed in the past, it gave me 2 degrees of neg camber in the front, and 1.7 degrees in the rear. I wouldn't recommend more than two washers in the rear. Depending on the thickness of the washers, a fair estimation is 1 washer for every degree of camber. I would only add one -- you'll want a LITTLE negative camber. Just be sure to get an alignment and have your toe zeroed out. I wore a set of Falken Ziex down to the thread bars in 120 miles without an alignment going from Sportlines -> H&R Race springs.

 

........dang! Good thing I live around the block from an alignment shop i guess.

 

I had around -2.9 degree on the left rear and -2.1 on the right rear. 97 EX with 124K. Is it normal for them to be out that much? I bought camber kits for the rear since I got a hell of a deal on them from work. I havent seen a civic that bad before. Never been in an accident or anything, nothing bent, but if the upper arm cant move in or out how in the hell does it go out? I havent installed the camber kits yet, but wanted some opinions.

Hmmm, have you looked at all of the bushings?

I'm running over -3* camber all around on my DD without a camber kit. What's your setup?

</TD></TR></TABLE> Well as of now its Eibach Pro-Kit, but it was like that before the drop, maybe a little better but not much. Not sure if I should be worried, and let the kit fix it or what.

That's a lot of camber if just a pro-kit, maybe something is bent.

 

Like I said it was like that before the drop. What could be bent?
