Coilovers vs. Springs

well, if you do drop it, make sure you correct the camber. and yeah, def. some new shocks if you lower. go with the springs if you won't be adjusting, coilover sleeves/coilovers for adjustability.

How to correct camber?

Does shop do that?

make sure you have the correct offset of rims on...cuz if not you will rub...have at least a +40 offset..and i prefer springs instead of sleeves.

They have a +40mm offset.

Thanks.

to correct camber, you need to buy a camber kit which can range from 200 up for all four sides...most known brands are ingalls and progress, sprint

Wow....more $$$....

Do I have to buy?

you dont have to, but your tires are gonna be eaten up every few thousand miles, i have a 2" drop and the tires gets eaten up faster than roseanne downs a big mac...get a camber kit, springs, shocks put in all at once to save money on installation...so u dont have to pay 3 times...good luck bro

but why most people sell a rear camber kit only?

and they are cheap like $20.

Defantly get a camber kit, my car was lowered an inch or so and I had to get a camber kit because it wore the tire down and messed up my stearing. I also have a question. I am thinking of buying some coilovers, and what I want to know is what everyone thinks of Skunk2 and/or groundcontrol?

Try to search on Ebay.

Type "Civic camber", then you can see a lot of rear camber kit for $10-$20.

the ones they sell on ebay are just washers...those things cost like 10 cents at home depot...anyways...go for GROUND CONTROL for sure...

i got skunk2 coilovers. i dont sense difference between coilovers other then the name. wat do u peeps mean when u say skunk2 are better for performance? do i get better launches or wat. mine rides like crap though. heck bouncy

Springs and Struts!
