CRG7 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I've got a 2.5" drop on my Sol, no camber kit, and no worries on the tires. They might last a little less than before the drop, but who knows. They last long enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapaneseDomesticMarketGSR Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 There is no way you can drop a Honda 2.5 inches without experiencing negative camber and excessive wear. Even if you have 15's. There's just no way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never bothered to figure out how many miles I get to my tires. I don't have to buy them often, so that's good enough for me. I'm not saying there is no negative camber or wear from it, I'm simply saying that it's not noticeable to me, and therefore not a problem for me.

JapaneseDomesticMarketGSR Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 You probably can't see the damage being done. After about 10,000 miles you will notice. Turn your wheel all the way to one side and look at the inner wall of the tire. Does it look like this? Lol.... J/P but it will eventually wear down premature.

Repsol Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 I take it that's your tires? CRG7, would ya happen to have any pics of your sol on the 2.5'' drop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRG7 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 japanese - i know how to check for wear on the tires, lol like i said, maybe they are prematurely wearing down, but it's not noticeable enough for me to care to get a camber kit at this point in time. not to say that i can't see any wear, but that i don't go through tires like crazy and buy them around the same time i would expect to buy them regardless. as for pics of the car, go here: http://import-tech.net/forum/showthread.php?t=4653 . a little hard to tell how low it is in those pics, but i'm pretty sure that's the most recent i have lol.

Repsol Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 Why do lowering springs always lower the front more so than the rear? These Skunk2 springs I want lower it 2.2'' in the front and 2.0'' in the rear. My car already sits with the front lower than the rear. Anybody know what's up with that?

TS John Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 It's just for the looks. More aggressive. And for the record they don't all do that. My drop was an even 1.5" all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphries Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 sagging springs, heavier engine in front than in rear. custom spring rates will help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Repsol Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 So with this 2.2 in the front and 2.0 in the rear..will it make my car sit like the rear tires are 24's? Also, I'm buying a set of HX wheels for 100 bucks tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
