Here are pics of my rear tire after lowering with goldline without a camber kit. Front is fine.

I just bought a SPC rear camber kit.

You live and learn I guess

Pics below

How much did your goldlines drop your car? I know that on most sites it has 1.50 and on some other it has 1.75. Are there different types of goldline springs?

You could rotate tires, and end up with all 4 of them worn like that one.

i thought they drop 1.75 front and 1.5 rear regarding tornactive.com (correct me if i'm wrong)

i got goldline springs from tornactive and i haven't installed them yet.

vincenzobar, did you do allignment when you installed springs?

i asked a guy who works at local shop and he said i won't need camber kit because he did a lot of neuspeed race on 2k1 civics but they haven't needed camber kit.

but since i have the same springs, i guess i will have to buy camber kit.

Rob at tornactive quote me $189 shipped to canada for all front and rear.

I always tell people that they need kits for the rear. No one ever seems to listen. I think it is simply because they don't want to spend the money to do it right. Cost you a heck of a lot more in the end though...o'well
