are they easy to install? i got a 97 civic lx sedan. do they come wheel aligned to the Honda factory settings by Honda so you can just install it or do u need to adjust them? is their any modifying required inorder to install? can an alignment shop set them? what is your guys experience having them?

 

They are easy to install. No modification required unless your car is slammed so low that the front upper control arm camber adjustment bolts hit the shock tower over bumps.

They do not come pre-aligned for your car, you have to get an alignment after the install. Any regular shop should be able to adjust them for an alignment.



Now that I have answered your questions... a little bit of advice. You don't need a camber kit to prevent uneven tire wear. The key is toe, which is adjustable in stock form. Having a little bit of negative camber will probably only take a couple hundred miles off the tread life... which is a negligible amount considering if you only have a couple hundred miles of tread life left you should already be replacing them.

What is your reason for wanting a camber kit?

 

^ well said. front camber not a big deal even cosmetic... BUT the rear is HUGE COSMETIC since lowering the ride will throw out the camber twice as bad in the rear.
but as long as you get a good alignment youll be great.

main problem most people run into is finding a shop that can align a lowered civic! with my 2inch drop i had to make my own wooden ramps to get up on the alignment rack at midas. and when i lowered it even more they said no way they could do it so i had to look for a shop that had a IN GROUND rack. they are typically older alignment shops and racks without the nice computers to be perfect BUT its the best you can get that should still put you in a good ballpark alignment!

 

well it looks like the front and rear tires are waring a bit on the inside, still lots of tread. no thread or steel belt showing. no endplay is in nything. the steering wheel is cocked a bit, 1 or 2 degree to the left when i drive on the expressway and around town going straight. i have a front vibration & 75+ mi an hour, it was worse when i didn't get the wheels balanced, around 70 the steering wheel would vibrate in my hand. i think i have a rear right wheel bearing going caz i can hear a howl 45-50mph, mabey that viberates the steering wheel?

 

the toe is adjusted by the tierods right? do the stock ctrl arms have adjustment?

 

if your steering is off and you don't have play in the tie rods then you need to get your toe aligned.

 

yes

if i letgo of the wheel, it pulls right

 

oops i forgot i made that thread, sorry about that!

 

get a alignment! plan and simple!!!!!!!
if you lower your car your toe is thrown WAY OFF!
you will chew thru brand new tires in just 2 months or less depending on the drop!
my friend chewed thru 2 sets of tires before he finally got a dam alignment. and after all that he had to buy another set of tires! and we all know tires cost ALOT more than a alignment does!

your car might drive straight BUT thats because both wheels are forcing against each other the same so they cancel out each other BUT they are basically sliding sideways chewing out the center thread very fast!
