hey whats up guys ! i have a 99 civic si ! i just installed some tokico struts and springs ! i have two questions 1) its not low enough should i cut a coil off and cut the bump stops in half ? 2) i want to buy a rear camber kit but there r two kinds u can get one looks just like a bolt with some washers ! the other one looks like a (T) and looks way moresturdy but i dont know what either one is for !! whats the diff between the two rear camber kits and what one should i get ?? thanks for ur help !!</P>
you start cuttin coils off and not only is your performance going to be affected but your ride quality is going to go to sh*t...i would look for different springs
Never cut coils out of the springs. Your cars ride will suck....a lot!</P>
The rear camber Kit with the washers and bolts is called a progressive style kit. You addor subtract washers untill the rear angle is right. A lot of people like them cause they're cheap. If you know what to get you can go to a hardware store and probably pay less than $20 on parts. The other (T) shaped kit should be two halfs on a threaded sleave which allows the piece to be put in and adjusted on the car by turning the center with a wrench. It's more expensive but a lot easier to adjust if your ride height changes. </P>
I have the (T) type on my car because i have adjustable coilovers. If you have springs and are not going to adjust the height, the washer type will work.</P><edited><editID>ntxmotorsports</editID><editDate>38123.9948726852</editDate></edited>

Thats what you'll need.</P>
Whenever a car with indepenent suspension is lowered two things change, camber and toe. Toe is when the wheels start to point away from each other (like trying to turn left and right at the same time). Normally the front has this problem. Whenever you cange your ride height, you need to getfour wheelalignment done. That will correct toe and make sure your camber is correct. You don't want to spend $500 a year replacing tires.</P>
