dude...of course you're gonna need one with that kind of drop...and get some good shocks too
Yah I agree with that because a friend of mine has a 2" drop on his '93 Civic and doesn't need any camber correction at all. But i'll put the springs on and see if I need a kit or not.GhostRider said:o.k., here's the deal, not everyone's car reacts the same to lowering, no matter how low you go. and no matter if they're the exact same model either. i know a guy who has a 2" drop all around and doesn't need camber correction AT ALL! another guy, same drop, needed a camber kit... my advice, buy a kit, lower you car, if you don't need camber correction, return the kit.
more advice:
buy JUST front. don't waste more money on a couple of washer and a couple of bolts that you can get for like 10 cents at home depot.

on your drop do u have stock struts? do u get that "ghetto" hop from it while driving? i was rolling on 15's , but i think that the stock wheels (14) look good if its lowered.. lowered cars just look SO much better then raised 4x4 styles...CiViC 00 said:I have the same drop and i dont need any camber correction watsoever....that's when i had the stock steelies 14 inch...but as long ur on stock wheels....it wont be bad due to the wheels center of gravity....i think the bigger the rim gets the more noticable the camber gets...as happened with me wit my 16's but its not bad on the tires cause there is a certain degree honda lets that will still be ok.... www.jdmfan.com for more info and the homemade camber kit....
The guy is either a liar or don't know what the hell camber is? No way in hell your tires will survive with a drop like that and NO camber adjustment!Mekka said:I have a 2000 Civic Si and in a couple days I am getting springs.
The drop on them is 2.5" front and 2.3" rear. They are H&R Race springs. I'm just wondering if I will need a camber kit? The guy I'm buying them off said he didn't need one on his car and he also has a 2000 Civic. So what's the deal here. Yay or nay. Thanks for any help.
I highly doubt that!! I have mine dropped on Neuspeed sports 1.75" / 1.5" and my camber is f**ked!!OhSoFast said:I can dump my car on 17's about 2 3/4 and I don't need a camber kit - my tires are just fine.
LX98Civic, did you just scroll over this part of the thread? Because he just said that it reacts differently on all cars, and you are going to jump on someones ass that has a different car than you?GhostRider said:

Yeah, I read that!! I just don't see how the hell you can drop almost 3" and NOT have negative camber.civicDX said:
