Default RE: Hello!!!!

you wont need a camber kit for 1.4". not on a 7th gen. they use Macpherson struts, and you dont get hardly any negative camber from lowering it. the rears may get a bit more than you'd normally want, but at 1.4, it shouldnt be too much for the rear. i had soft tires on the rear of mine, and about 5-6* of negative camber on the back, and the tires still lasted well over 8 months. you probably wont see more than 1-2* of negative on the back. get a rear kit eventually, but dont trip on it for now.

Default RE: Hello!!!!

Here's my setup:

I got a 90 Integra with H&R Race Springs. I got approximately a 2" drop in the rear and 2.5" in the front. I'm running on 17" rims with 205/40/17 tires. I live in NYC and in my opinion, this is the worst setup to use in my area, especially when its my daily driver. The roads are bad, especially with the dips and humps in the roads. Also on ramps I usually scraped when going up or coming down. As far as handling goes, it is excellent when cornering. I can do about 60-65 mph on a 40 mph curve. Also, the car handles great at high speeds. I don't feel as much swaying as when the car wasn't lowered. As far as looks are concerned, it's got that "aggresive racing" look with the wing on. And I get a lot of compliments on it. It all depends on how you plan on setting up your ride and what you want out of it.

first lower it, then camber correction and alignment, then you can tell exactly what rims and tires will work..
