SolLesHonda Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Batman, go with 16's and a 45 series tire. You will be much happier. I'd say spend the extra 100 dollars and buy a camber kit. In the long run, camber kits pay for themselves becuase you didn't have to buy three new sets of tires. B16- your right. Honda didn't use the macphearson set up until the newer gens like the 02+. The noob said it right. He said they have a non-macphearson set up. I don't know why he called it that, it's called a coilover set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleanGSR Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 This is just discussion. Nobody is trying to shoot anyone down. He has 99 civic, so he has a coilover setup which will need a camber kit for the front. I know because my car is starting to get camber wear from not having a camber kit and I have the same type of suspension as him, and I'm dropped about 1.5".

cranny Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 in any case i agree putting kit on front is not a bad idea just rear needs it most. and by the way your both wrong civics got macpherson setup in 01. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBirdSucks Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 no no no. if both the front and back are lowered the same exact amount, the front will have more negative camber than the rear. the rear wheels don't turn left or right. the front wheels have to steer, so they camber in more when lowered.

Since we are on the discussion...i've been asking around like mad for info on my BuddyClub coils...whether to set the damper higher or lower-right now it is set @ 8...just put them in today-a littel bouncy...had an alignment done and may possibly need a camber kit as well??? what's recommended? It's an '01 civic ex sedan Jen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 If you are lowered than a camber kit would be good to make your tires last longer. There are a lot of companies that make kits like Ingalls, SKunk 2, OmniPower, Blox, and even some adjustable bushings on ebay. We put the adjustable bushings in my dad's gsr and it worked great.....but he's only dropped about an inch. You'll have to get your car re-aligned again when you put the camber kit on too.

SolLesHonda Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Dude, not to be a prick, but is there a reason you brought up a two week old thread, just to add in a "+1" While I'm in here : I am getting Omnipowers though, so anyone who wants my Tanabe springs, let me know.

JDM_Hamster Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Just to do it... and Omnipower coils are too low, i just helped my buddy take his Omnipower Coil-overs off his ITR and we put Apex'i N1 coils on, looks much better,its not too low, also rides softer...

SolLesHonda Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Too low ? If they are coilovers you can raise them back up. The Omnis can almost be at stock height. You are a moron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You told us a lot by saying "i did take them off and try and raise it more" because you don't take coilover's off to raise them. Try turning them the other direction cause you probably lowered them instead of raising them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, right. Plus, it doesn't say much saying that YOU helped him. and if anyone is a tool its you because you try and use that damn word too much, just because you get thrashed at home doenst mean that you can come here and try and take it out on someone else...
