Re: civic drop question

I work for a tire company and let me assure you that you don't need a camber kit for any kind of drop.
Lowering a car results in negative camber and in some cases toe misalignment, everything that my company looks forward to in every lowered car.
Because you know...
Misalignment > increase tire wear > more tire purchases > more money for me > closer to buying that little island in the Caribbeans.


Seriously, read the SUSPENSION FAQ

Re: civic drop question

im dropped on S-Techs and I chewed through a set of tires in 20,000 miles...and these were 440 Treadware Kelly Chargers.......I just got an SPC Front Camber kit...since the front was where the worst tire wear was....i would invest in them and do it right the first time....I am getting a rear camber kit soon too
