Camber?? Ground Control?? WTF
Sorry ladies and gents, racers and ricers..... here are some minor details, I'm dropping my car with Eibach Sportline, my rims are 215\40\17. Anyway, I was just skimming through the forum here and I keep seeing this degree of camber and ground control for the 2k1 civic after dropping the car. I dropped my Accord ('90) and I never did any of that, I guess because It's old and don't really care! When I drop my Civic I don't want to mess anything up so I want to know what else you peeps suggest I replace or adjust when I do this. I want to improve handling and performance so give me the lowdown. Engine is all set and ready to go... almost spring time so next project is the way it drives.
Anything will help!! Thanx in adv.[IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

ground control is a brand that uses eibach springs, theyre nice and adjustable with one hand
camber is the angle your wheels sit. for instance, they should look like | | but when you lower a car they can get like / \ (not to scale [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG] ) Now while a little negative camber is good for racing, for the most of us nice neutral cambered wheels are what you want. You can return a lowered car's camber to normal using a camber kit.
If you dont get a camber kit, you can have premature tire wear and if I or many of the member here see your car we'll point and laugh [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]
