Help!!- Camber Questions
 

Hey guys, i thougt i would give this a shot before i take my car to a shop and get ripped off. I might even be able to install these myself. Okay i got a 99 coupe with dropzone springs and struts the front is dropped 2.5 and the back about 2. I have basic 15 inch steelies for the winter and i plan on putting some 15 or 16 inch summer rims. My back wheels have some bad camber... I checked out some kits on ebay and i found a dropzone kit for the front and rear. My front camber is strait for the most part, its the back i want to straiten out. I also saw some Blox rear camber kits. But i'm just wondering if you think i should get a full front and rear set and fix it that way, or go the rear lower control arm route? Anyone have experience on this type of adjustment? Thanks in advance for any help, - Clay

you don't need to buy anything other than a couple of washers. that will take care of the back.

is your front camber actually okay, or just looks okay??

RE: Help!!- Camber Questions
 

I dont know really how to gauge the fronts.. They seem to look pretty strait. Also my rear back left suspension seems to dip lower than the back right side forcing it to look a little crooked. Have any suggestions on what that might be? Thanks!!

your passenger side is a bit higher then the drivers?

its called the honda lean lol, most people have this problem, i have yet to find a perfect answer to why hondas do this, but most people say its because the way the tranny/engine. Its off balanced..

RE: Help!!- Camber Questions
 

thats my assumption. the engine is placed closer to the left side of the car and weighs more than the transmission. that, combined with the fact that you always drive with someone in the drivers seat and not nessecarily in the passengers seat probably cause the springs to settle differently.

but I don't think that explains the BACK of the car...

you have dropzone coilovers?? or just regular springs?

RE: Help!!- Camber Questions
 

I got there mild suspension setup. Its lowering springs+ new gas shocks.

so u do or dont have camber kits?

RE: Help!!- Camber Questions
 

I dont have any camber kits, i've heard of putting washers in the back suspension to push the top out and even out the tires, I think i will try and do that this weekend. Thanks Guys

nice find forty, im always thinking about doing this but im worried about the bolts not being as strong as OEM, going around a tight turn and bam, they brake or somthing[:o]

RE: Help!!- Camber Questions
 

Pretty sure if you talk to the parts department at honda, they will be able to give you a bolt with the same strength/thread, just longer.

They'll be a bit more expensive of course, but can you really put a price on peace of mind?
