Lowering Springs and Camber...?

[j32pilot]

Hey just wondering, just ordered some Eibach Sport Springs that lower my car " 1.7 front 1.5 Rear", and Tokico Shocks. I Have heard about some camber kits for sale. If I drop my car that amount, is a camber adjustment really necessary. Or just the usual alignment? I have the 1991 HB SI. Check out the photos on my website below too, and let mem know what you think. Just trying to make sure I didnt make a mistake on the springs. But once I do something I HAVE to do it right. Also I got screwed on ebay, I bought some white face/indiglo guages for $40.00 plus $6.50 for shipping. They dont fit my SI for some reason, I know they will fit the 88-91 Civic 5 Speed. The screwball wont let me return them either. So now I am stuck with them. I dont want to make any money, just dont want to lose any. Feel free to email me at [email protected]

Personaly i dont think the camber kit is nessasary. your not lowering your car to extreme and the camber won't be changed hardly at all. i have coilovers on and when i spin them all the way down i barely notice that my camber is messed up, and the coilovers go a 4 inch drop. i would buy your gauges but i only have a four speed base model civic, they wont fit.

first, you should try: http://fourgperformance.netfirms.com/

next, you shouldn't need camber kits. the camber doesn't start to get real screwy until you drop it around 2". Even then all you would need is a front camber kit. For the rear you just need a longer bolt and some washers to fix the problem

Well here's a question then:

Will I need a spring compressor to put in my GC Coilover's and my Tokico Illumina's? (I'll be using stock springs..)

i have never needed a spring compressor, all i did was put my car on jack stands, and use the jack it self to push up on the rotor (well not directly on the rotor) and that will compress the spring so that you can put the bolt on top of your strut.
