Which 1st?

[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] I ordered 4 new tires for my 17's(already had rims), a spc camber kit, and goldline springs for my 01 civic sedan. Should i get the tires mounted and balanced, then go get the springs and camber kit installed? what order should i do? the tires, springs and camber kit are on their way...?

Springs, then camber, then mount your new tires. Not sure if mounting before or after springs and camber installation makes a difference at all. One thing for sure is that your wheels would not change the process for installing springs and camber. The amount of camber wouldn't change based on your tires. So get the springs and camber done first.

I'd do the wheels 1st then camber and springs together next. It would make sense to have the wheels on before it's lowered to get a visual on how low you'd want go. Like 1955 said, it'd be a good idea to find 1 place to do it all...

doesnt matter what order... and why cant they mount/balance n a lowered car? are they balancing it on the car? but ya it doesnt really matter.. n yes the tires can change the camber... bigger/small the tire from stock the more -/+ the camber is... not too big of a deal tho...
