I need a camber kit for all four wheels of a Honda Civic Coupe 2 Door 1996, If anyone can help me find the cheapest one but of good quality please give me a line.
No you don't. Camber kits are a wasted of money, and people only buy them because they're advertised. Take your car to goodyear and get an alignment. (you might have to take your bumper off to get it onto the rack, but it's well worth it) Besides, you'd have to get an aligment after you put on the camber kit anyway.!I need a camber kit for all four wheels of a Honda Civic Coupe 2 Door 1996,
I think he's just saying if you're that low you won't be able to drive up onto the ramps without taking off the front bumper.orbital said:So i have to take off my body kit if i want to get an alignment? Is there anyway i can get around this?
1.)Goodyear=a bunch of burned out lazy half ass mechanics, who sel over priced shitty tires. (there is my editorial)CivicNOS1 said:

2.)You need to get your facts straight before spewing crap like that.
3.)Alignments are one of the most important things in a vehicles suspension.
4.)Camber kits are there to correct camber on a modified suspension. Civics have no adjustment for camber.
5.)People buy altezzas and body kits and all the and huge exhausts, Toyo tires, and all the other crap because they are advertised. (Dude, I got this awesome camber kit! I am sure you hear that all the time)

Well the better you are on stock specs the better off but that depends on a lot. One thing is offset of teh rims, your on ground controls(which means every time u raise it or lower it it needs an alignment) and your driving . Me i liked 1 degree camber, +5 toe all around. This way when turning teh car was more responcive. You should read up on it before you say to what direction. Tell em to put it whith in spec and you want a print out of what they did, cuz they we can go from there what you dont like. A lot of it is trial and error.FLAWLESS said:Tonight I'm installing my Skunk2 camber kit. Then Saturday I'll get an alignment. I'm lowered on Ground Controls, and 17's
Should I have them dial in a specific amount of camber when I get the alignment? It's my daily driver and I want the tires to last me. But I want it to still handle decent too. What do you guys think? Factory specs or my specs?
Thats up to u...if anything i wouldnt drive the car is it might not be safe to drive depening on how bad it is.FLAWLESS said:OK that makes sense. So I'll just get it into factory specs for now, and get a printout of course.
Well...I was gonna take it to a performance alignment shop to get it dialed in ...but since I'm just going to factory specs AND getting the printout...would it be OK if I just took it to a normal place to get the alignment done for now? Problem is, the performance place (Galati's, as in Michael Galati the owner...Speedvision touring cup...drives the Audi) is only open during the week and on the other side of town. I want to get this done Saturday so I don't ruin my new tires. Whatta ya think? Go with a regular place this Sat. or wait till I can get to Galati's?
no problem..FLAWLESS said:I dig ya. I'd like to get it corner weighted too but most importantly I need the alignment so I don't waste the rubber. Thanks again for the facts bro.
I have been around suspension for years now but wtf is butterflying??bogard said:camber kits also help out with butterflying the wheels. When i dropped my civic the alignment place said they would not touch it because they only knew about the stock specs on the alignment but after i took it in they did it and it was fine. After a while though i noticed my rear tires were butterflying slightly so i was going to buy a camber kit but my car got stolen
Good so I won't stress about ruining my tires just yet. I may be able to get to Galati's next week to have it done right. Until then I'll probably have 500 to 700 miles total on the new tires.Phatcivic said:
no problem..
Corner wieghted...lol have fun.
And for you tooo really waste rubber u would need to drive 5k miles before anything noticible so i wouldnt strain on it. Also dont burn out thats the worst thing to do. But good luck
Yes courner weighing is hard. Well you wont do it a shop will so dont worry.FLAWLESS said:

Why do you laugh about the corner weighting...is it an ass-ache? Explain.
That is called camber / your tire point inward(the top of the tire points in towrds the body of the car.) Thta snormal when u drop a car.bogard said:its when the offsets are wrong and your tires dont look even. its kinda when you look at the tires and the top is more ticked in and the bottom parts is more outwards
