So i just got a set of tokico blue shocks for my 2000civic ex
Im also getting H&R lowering springs for them.

so my question is that H&R have sport loweing springs which lower 1.5in and they have racing lowering springs which lower 2.5in. I cant decide which to get, im looking for opinions. Also, how bumpy you think either will be. Hopefully someone else has gotten them and can advise me on this.

Also i am confused as to what camber kit i need for front and rear, i dont really know much about them, so what ones do i need to get?

 

H&R springs will give you a really rough ride, you might not like it. But the trade off is that they are great for autox if your into that. If you want a little better ride i would go witht the s-techs

 

only if you have tires with tiny sidewalls.


get the sport springs (1.5")
they actually lower more like 2", idk why they advertise 1.5"

i have them and love them

 

yeah I have the sport springs and they dropped about 2" on mine as well.

And H&R's are not rough, they're very soft.

 

If you get the race springs, I wouldn't recommend getting a camber kit; correcting the camber when you're that low will actually cause rubbing. To be honest, I view camber kits as an aesthetic thing; the only real reason to correct the camber is if you don't like the look of negative camber. As long as the toe is dialed in (even with negative camber), you won't have any extra tire wear. On my old civic, I was tucking tire all around (3* of negative camber) with no premature tire wear; all I did was have the toe adjusted back to factory specs (and let me tell you, driving the car up on the alignment rack was a 10-minute ordeal ).

Also, like Trust said, the Sport springs are actually closer to a 2" drop, which more or less eliminates wheel gap.

 

Ok that helps a lot, ill go with the sport springs, thanks guys

So with the sport springs i dont even need any camber kits? And what do you mean by "dial in the toe?"

 

it's an expression... he's just saying make sure the toe is aligned properly and you'll be good


you don't need a camber kit.

 

alright, sounds good to me, im getting a huge discount on the springs cause i work at a shop, so if i dont need to buy camber kits i should be able to get the really soon

 

sounds good... make sure you post up pics when you get the springs on

 

For sureeee
