Dropzone springs are AWESOME!!!!

I got them for 120 shipped from CBwheels.com they come with a lifetime gurantee and give my car a 2" drop all the way around, a rides better than stock.

Question on the camber kit. We only need it for the rear, right? Saw some article in a magazine of them putting coilovers in a 2k1 civic and they only did the rear, but I thought I saw the front for sale somewhere.

How do those effect your warranty from Honda? It seemed like the only thing, from the book, that they really didn't want you to do.

since i was in an accident, they have to replace the suspension on my car. I was debating to do the GCs again or the neuspeed race springs. But after hearing about the dropzone springs, i might change my mind again. Do you guys have pics so i can make a comparison of the dropzone vs. H&R vs. neuspeed?

Well newbie, they do sell both the front and back. Due to the way that our suspension is set up on the 2k1 and 2k2 civics, a drastic drop will cause the rear to camber more than the front. The rear camber will be very noticable and screw up your tires quick, where as the front is barely noticable and won't screw up the tread on your tires that much. So in theory, you only need the rear........but it's better to have both, and the front is only about $20 so why not? The thing you have to watch out for is the degree of camber adjustment. On the front there are two kits that you can choose from. There is a +-1 degree and a +-2 degree. Since your camber is barely off, you will only need the +-1 degree.(the cheaper one) I purchased the front and rear Ingalls camber kits for a total of about $120 from LightningMotorsports.com. If you are slightly mechanically inclined, you should be able to install the kits yourself and save about $100 of labor that someone would charge you to install them.

My camber is not off hardly at all. I did notice today that when i cut my wheel real tight like the first time i start the car it makes kind of a quiet pop noise not really a pop but that is the best way to explain it, does anyone know what this is??

that would be your coils settling. I get that everytime I back right out of my drive way, then make a left hand turn.[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] Seriously! It's normal, most coilovers make this noise under certain circumstances. If it gets really loud and your car rides rough, you might want to check it out.

mines dropped 2 inches in the back and no abnormal tire wear. camber kits are a waste of money. they are for the paranoid.

i have 18s with neuspeed sports. no rubbing whatsoever... alot of people have 17s and drop it even lower... it depends on the tire size tho, mines 215-40-18. i should even be fine with a 2" drop.
